Human Services Developer (Literacy)
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)
2. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose
3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
- Organization: Department of Children & Youth
- Contact: Ashley.Sydebotham@childrenandyouth.ohio.gov
- Work Location: 246 North High Street Columbus, Ohio, 43215 United States
- Compensation: $36.01 per hour
- Schedule: Permanent - Full Time
- Work Hours: Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–5 p.m.
- Classified Indicator: Classified
- Union: 1199
- Primary Job Skill: Human Services
- Who We Are (mission statement)
- Location Requirements (core hours, on-site daily)
- What You'll Do (role description)
- What The Work Typically Looks Like (three subsections: Research, Design & Development; Stakeholder Collaboration; Program Implementation)
- What Makes Someone Successful in This Role (list of skills/qualities)
- Ideal candidate holds degree/certification info
- Pay Information (detailed pay progression table)
- Additional Information: Visa Sponsorship, Supplemental Questions, Selection Process, Travel Requirements, Background Check
- Why Work For The State Of Ohio (benefits list)
- Qualifications (detailed minimum qualifications with multiple pathways)
- Job Skills: Human Services
- ADA Statement
- Drug-Free Workplace
I need to organize this into semantic sections. Let me think about the structure:
1. About the role / Overview (combining "Who We Are" and "What You'll Do")
2. Responsibilities (from "What The Work Typically Looks Like" - three subsections)
3. Requirements / Qualifications (from "What Makes Someone Successful" and "Qualifications" section)
4. Pay (from "Pay Information" - has detailed table)
5. Schedule (from "Schedule" and "Work Hours" and "Location Requirements")
6. Benefits (from "Why Work For The State Of Ohio")
7. Additional Information (Visa, Travel, Background Check, etc.)
But I need to be careful: only include sections with real content. The posting has substantial content for all these.
Let me structure:
-
About the Role
with prose from "Who We Are" and "What You'll Do"
- Responsibilities
with three subsections as lists
- Qualifications
combining "What Makes Someone Successful" and formal "Qualifications"
- Pay
with the pay progression table (I'll format as list or table? The rule says use - for lists, but a table might be better for pay progression. However, the instruction says "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." It doesn't forbid tables, but to be safe, I'll use a list for the pay steps.)
-
Schedule
with work hours and location requirements
- Benefits
with the benefits list
- Additional Information
with visa, travel, background check, selection process, etc.
I should fold minor metadata (contact, location, union, classified indicator) into a short at the top or in a "Position Details" section. The rules say "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So I'll create a brief introductory paragraph with key metadata.
Also, remove boilerplate: ADA Statement, Drug-Free Workplace, EEO stuff (though not explicitly present, but ADA and Drug-Free are boilerplate). The instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". ADA and Drug-Free are legal boilerplate, so I should remove them.
Also remove "Supplemental Questions", "Selection Process" maybe? But they are part of additional information. The instruction says "remove application instructions". Supplemental questions and selection process are application instructions, so I should remove them. However, "Travel Requirements" and "Background Check" are job requirements, not application instructions. Visa sponsorship is also relevant. I'll keep those.
Let me draft the HTML.
First, a paragraph with metadata:
Department of Children & Youth | Contact: Ashley.Sydebotham@childrenandyouth.ohio.gov | Location: 246 North High Street, Columbus, OH 43215 | Classified, Union 1199, Full-time Permanent
Then sections.
For Responsibilities, I'll use subheadings? The rule says use for section headings. I could use for subsections, but the rule only mentions . It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other heading levels, but to keep it simple, I'll use for main sections and maybe for subsections within lists.
Better to structure Responsibilities as a list with three main areas, each with sub-items.
I'll write:
Responsibilities

- Serve as DCY's expert on literacy and language development
