HR Manager - Fire Department
About the role
then... (the paragraph). Should we include the classification framework line? It's part of about role. Keep. - What You'll Do: duties list. Use
Responsibilities
then- each duty.
- Ideal Candidate: maybe part of Requirements. Could combine Ideal Candidate, Working Knowledge, Skills, Minimum Qualifications, Certification & Licensing Requirements, Desired attributes into a Requirements section. But we could split into multiple sub-sections? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one Requirements section that includes all those subparts as paragraphs or lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details: Ideal Candidate paragraph, Working Knowledge list, Skills list (multiple bullet points), Minimum Qualifications bullet, Certification & Licensing Requirements, Desired attributes bullet, Working Conditions maybe as its own section? Could be part of Requirements or separate. But we have a Working Conditions paragraph. Could be its own section "Working Conditions". However instruction: prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Working Conditions into Requirements or maybe a separate "Working Conditions" section if it's substantive. It's a short paragraph; could be included in Requirements as a paragraph.
Benefits: we have a Benefits paragraph. Use
Benefits
then. Starting Compensation: we have a paragraph about Starting compensation. Use
Pay
then. Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the application deadline, application requirements, Veterans’ Preference, Equity Statement, Diversity & Equal Opportunity Employer Statement, etc. Also remove "Please review the entire job posting, including the application requirements at the end." etc. Also remove "If you enjoy solving challenges..." maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive. Keep. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the description of role, duties, ideal candidate, working knowledge, skills, minimum qualifications, certification & licensing, desired attributes, working conditions, benefits, starting compensation. We must not include application deadline, application requirements, veterans preference, equity statement, diversity statement. Let's extract content. About The Role paragraph: "The City of Bend is accepting applications for one (1), full-time Department HR Manager to support the City of Bend’s Fire Department. This is a FLSA Exempt (overtime in-eligible), non-represented position. The City may use this job posting to create an eligibility list for future hiring purposes. Please review the entire job posting, including the application requirements at the end." The last sentence is application instruction; we should remove that. Also "Please review the entire job posting..." is boilerplate; remove. Then: "The Fire Department HR Manager provides full-service HR functions within Bend Fire & Rescue. The position serves as the department-level lead for human resources functions, including employee and labor relations, performance management, strategic planning and recruitment within the Fire Department at the City of Bend. They are responsible for performing a variety of administrative personnel functions that keep Bend Fire & Rescue in compliance and coordination with the Human Resources Department. The hybrid nature of Bend’s human resources service delivery seeks to maximize employee engagement and workforce management at the operational department level while ensuring systemwide incorporation of human resources best practices, compliance, program efficiencies, equity, cost containment, and consistent application of policies, processes, and practices Citywide. If you enjoy solving challenges, supporting employees, contributing to an outstanding workplace, and working with public safety professionals, this could be the perfect opportunity. You’ll play a key role in supporting a dedicated team that serves our community every day! Classification Framework: Department HR Manager" We keep all that except maybe the "Classification Framework: Department HR Manager" is okay. Now Responsibilities (What You'll Do) list: - Develop strong, trusting relationships with chiefs, supervisors, and employees within the Fire Department - Directly supervise a small team of scheduling and HR logistics staff - Implement equity-focused practices throughout all assigned HR functions - Develop recruitment plans and processes to ensure fair and equitable hiring practices - Partner with command staff to analyze departmental staffing needs and develop creative strategies to fill needs with existing or new resources - Guides managers through expectation setting and performance improvement efforts - Investigates complaints of policy violations, conduct, harassment, and discrimination - Coordinates the employee disciplinary process including advising managers, working with labor associations, and providing information to employees - Assists employees and managers with protected leaves and the ADA accommodation process - Manages a variety of tasks related to new employee onboarding, HRIS entry, timekeeping, and record keeping - Collaborates with the HR Department on work related to training, development, labor relations, Citywide policy and processes, benefits, classification, compensation, and systems We need to keep each as
- . Now Ideal Candidate paragraph: "Highly qualified candidates will be an experienced HR professional with strong collaboration, problem solving, and relationship skills. We are looking for an innovative thinker who recommends creative solutions to solve people problems, while understanding the organization-wide impact of department-level decisions. A solid grasp of local government and first responder norms and equity principles will help accelerate performance objectives." We keep. Working Knowledge list (bulleted): - Laws related to the public sector and human resources in the State of Oregon, including City, Federal policies, rules, regulations, codes, and ordinances, as well as internal policies and procedures - Human resources practices and procedures - Principles of equity and inclusion - Hiring practices including recruitment processes and interviewing techniques - Investigatory and report-writing practices - Practices and principles of performance management and performance improvement - Techniques for documenting behavior and disciplinary actions We keep. Skills list: It's a long paragraph with many bullet-like statements separated by line breaks? The text: "Skills In Ability to work independently with minimal direction, while also working as part of a team and collaborating with others Manage a high volume of tasks at one time, including organizing and prioritizing own work and the work of others Communication, interpersonal skills as applied to interaction with coworkers, supervisors, the public and other stakeholders sufficient to exchange or convey information to provide and receive work direction Demonstrate a high attention to detail Effectively communicate with others verbally and in writing, including by phone, e-mail, or in person Ability to analyze, interpret, and communicate human resources information, develop recommendations and alternatives Ability to maintain strict confidentiality in all human resources matters Ability to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with individuals and groups, be an effective collaborator in a team-centered environment and work effectively under general direction Ability to exercise keen time management skills, balance multiple priorities, and consistently meet timelines and due dates Skill in oral presentation and written communications and ability to utilize broad technology applications in documents processing, spreadsheets, data bases, power point presentations and publishing software applications. Ability to use software programs such as Microsoft Office including Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint and other interactive computer programs as well as operating common office equipment." We need to parse into list items. The text seems to have missing punctuation. We can split by capital letters after a period? Better to treat each sentence as a bullet. Let's identify sentences: 1. Ability to work independently with minimal direction, while also working as part of a team and collaborating with others 2. Manage a high volume of tasks at one time, including organizing and prioritizing own work and the work of others 3. Communication, interpersonal skills as applied to interaction with coworkers, supervisors, the public and other stakeholders sufficient to exchange or convey information to provide and receive work direction 4. Demonstrate a high attention to detail 5. Effectively communicate with others verbally and in writing, including by phone, e-mail, or in person 6.

Make
. Starting Compensation: "Starting compensation is determined based on a pay equity analysis considering the candidate’s education, applicable work experience, and internal equity. Please include all relevant information on your application." The second sentence is application instruction; we should remove "Please include all relevant information on your application." That's application instruction. So keep only first sentence. Thus Pay section:
Starting compensation is determined based on a pay equity analysis considering the candidate’s education, applicable work experience, and internal equity.

Requirements
Maybe we split into subheadings? But instruction: prefer few substantive sections. Could have one Requirements section with subheadings? But subheadings would be extra headings; maybe we can just include paragraphs and lists under Requirements without further headings. That's okay. Thus:Requirements

maybe not needed. But we could just put aWorking Knowledge: ...
