House Manager
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "INTERESTED? Apply with your CV...").
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Title: HOUSE MANAGER (LIVE-IN) Rendall & Rittner £25,000 - £26,000 + 2 bedroom accommodation and utilities bills paid Spinners Court, Lancaster - LA1 1RY Mon - Fri 0900 - 1730
- Then "DEVELOPMENT DETAILS" paragraph.
- Then "ROLE EXPECTATIONS" with subparts: "What Success Looks Like" bullet list, "How You'll Spend Most Of Your Time" bullet list, "Who This Role Is For" bullet list, "Experience That Helps" bullet list.
- Then "What We Offer" bullet list.
- Then "About Rendall & Rittner" paragraph.
- Then "How We Hire" paragraph.
- Then "INTERESTED? Apply with your CV..." (application instructions) to be removed.
- Also "All applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK. Documentary evidence of eligibility will be required." This is also application instruction? It's eligibility requirement; maybe keep as part of Requirements? It's a requirement but not a heading. Could be included in Requirements or Qualifications. Since it's about eligibility to work in UK, we could put under Requirements.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe from DEVELOPMENT DETAILS). Responsibilities (maybe from ROLE EXPECTATIONS subparts). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe from Who This Role Is For, Experience That Helps, eligibility). Benefits (What We Offer). Pay (salary + accommodation). Schedule (Mon-Fri 0900-1730). Also maybe include "About Rendall & Rittner" as About the company? Not required heading but could be included under About the role? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings.
We need to avoid empty sections. Provide only those with content.
Let's extract:
About the role: Could be the DEVELOPMENT DETAILS paragraph: "You’ll lead the heart of a welcoming retirement development of 63 homes for residents aged 55 and over, right in Lancaster city centre with the canal and amenities close by. Life here centres around a friendly lounge, well-kept landscaped gardens, a convenient laundry room and a comfortable guest suite. As the on-site House Manager, you’ll be a reassuring presence, fostering a safe, supportive and sociable environment where residents feel listened to, independent and at home. This role includes accommodation as part of a live-in arrangement. Unfortunately, due to lease restrictions on the property, we're unable to accommodate pets."
That's about the role.
Responsibilities: Could be the "How You'll Spend Most Of Your Time" bullet list (the actions). Also maybe "What Success Looks Like" is more about outcomes, but could be part of Responsibilities or maybe separate? We'll treat "How You'll Spend Most Of Your Time" as Responsibilities.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Could combine "Who This Role Is For" (personal attributes) and "Experience That Helps" (experience). Also eligibility to work in UK.
We need to decide which headings to use: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says we can use those headings. We need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one "Requirements" section covering both personal attributes and experience. Or we could have separate "Requirements" and "Skills". But we need to avoid filler. Let's see content:
Who This Role Is For:
- You care about people and bring patience, empathy and professionalism to every interaction.
- You’re organised and proactive, with a keen eye for detail and pride in high standards.
- You stay calm under pressure and solve problems with a practical, hands-on approach.
- You communicate clearly, both in person and in writing, and build positive relationships.
- You’re comfortable working independently, making sound decisions and knowing when to escalate.
Experience That Helps:
- Experience in a customer-facing role within housing, hospitality, retirement living or front-of-house.
- Familiarity with building safety routines, compliance checks or basic facilities coordination.
- Handling contractor visits, scheduling small works and monitoring service quality.
- Recording information accurately, keeping logs and using basic IT systems and email.
- Supporting older or vulnerable people with sensitivity and discretion.
Eligibility: All applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK. Documentary evidence of eligibility will be required.
We could make a section "Requirements" containing these bullet points.
Benefits: "What We Offer" bullet list:
- 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Enrolment into the Rendall & Rittner pension scheme
- Employee assistance programme supporting family, health, money and work
- Employee referral scheme
- Team uniform* subject to development
- Fully funded training and development opportunities
- Access to discounts across travel, retail, fitness and entertainment
Also note accommodation and utilities paid is part of compensation; we have Pay section.
Pay: Salary £25,000 - £26,000 + 2 bedroom accommodation and utilities bills paid.
Schedule: Mon - Fri 0900 - 1730.
We also have "How We Hire" paragraph about process; could be omitted as not required heading? It's not in the list of headings but could be included under About the role? Probably not needed; but we could include as a separate section? The instruction says only use those headings; we could omit "How We Hire" as it's not required. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot discard it unless it's boilerplate. "How We Hire" is substantive about hiring process. Should we include it? The instruction says we can use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could also add other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we could still use other headings if appropriate, but better to stick to those. However "How We Hire" is substantive; we could incorporate it into About the role or maybe under Requirements? Not really. Could add a section "Process" but not in list. Safer to include it as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine How We Hire into About the role or maybe under Requirements? I'd add a short paragraph under About the role after the development details.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
