ICC Family Support (Bedford County)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description about MHC, mission, etc. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We have: - About the role: we have description of MHC, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or "About MHC". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: we have a long list of responsibilities. - Requirements: we have list of requirements. - Qualifications: maybe not separate; we have "Requirements" includes education, experience, certification, driver license, etc. Could also treat "Qualifications" as same as Requirements? But we should not create empty sections. If we have content for Qualifications separate? The posting includes "Requirements" and then "About You" which includes skills/competencies. That could be split into Skills and maybe Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for those categories only if posting has real specific content. We have content for Skills (communication, recovery focused, time management/organization). So we can make a Skills section. - Benefits: we have benefits list. - Pay: we have salary $38,600 base pay with additional incentive for language skills and behavioral health experience. Mileage reimbursement available. So we have Pay content. - Schedule: we have Schedule: Mon-Fri, 8a-4:30p. Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to extract prose for About the role: The initial paragraph(s) describing MHC, mission, etc. Also the JOB SUMMARY repeats same as earlier description; we should not duplicate? We need to preserve all substantive information; but we can combine? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we combine, we might lose some detail? The JOB SUMMARY is essentially same as earlier description; but it's still substantive. We could include it as part of About the role prose, but we must not omit any detail. If we combine, we still include the content; it's okay if we don't repeat verbatim but we must keep the info. The instruction says do NOT summarize away detail; but paraphrasing might be considered summarizing? Safer to keep both paragraphs as separate

  elements, preserving the text. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first paragraph about MHC being top place to work, mission, etc. Second paragraph: JOB SUMMARY (the repeated text). Ensure we keep exact text. Responsibilities: we need to list each responsibility as

• . The responsibilities block includes many items, some with sub-items (like o). We need to preserve them. Could treat each line as
• . For sub-items, we could nest
  • inside? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nesting. We'll keep top-level
      and for sub-items we can also use
      • . That seems fine. Requirements: list each requirement as
      • . The requirements block includes: High School Diploma or GED required; Must be the parent or designated primary caregiver...; Must have ability to successfully complete training...; Must be able to acquire TDMHSAS Certification...; Valid Tennessee Driver’s License; Acceptable Motor Vehicle Report (MVR); Acceptable Criminal Background Investigation; Personal Automobile Insurance. We'll put each as
      • . Skills: The "About You" section includes Communication, Recovery Focused, Time Management/Organization. Each has bullet points. We'll treat each top-level as maybe a heading? But we only allowed headings for sections; inside we can use
        • . We'll create a
          with items: Communication (then sublist), Recovery Focused (sublist), Time Management/Organization (sublist). Or we could flatten but better to preserve structure. Benefits: list each benefit as
          • . The benefits block includes many items; we will list each. Pay: we have salary and mileage reimbursement. We'll put as

            maybe with details. Schedule: we have schedule Mon-Fri, 8a-4:30p. We'll put as

            . We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those lines at end. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Let's write:

            About the role
