for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.

Then "Job Description Elwyn seeks an Instructional Assistant, One-to-One (1:1), to provide individual support and guidance to the assigned student. The 1:1 collaborates with and is a contributing member of the student’s education team to carry out the assigned student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and, if applicable, Behavior Support Plan (BSP). The 1:1 works with the students for all transition times throughout the school day."
Then "Duties And Responsibilities" with many bullet-like sentences.
Then "Education/Experience/Skills Requirements" with list.
Then "Equal Opportunity Employer" boilerplate to remove.
Also "Know Your Rights: Workplace discrimination is illegal" remove.
We need to produce sections: maybe "About the role" (overview), "Responsibilities", "Requirements" (education/experience/skills), "Benefits" (list of benefits). Also maybe "Schedule" (10 month position, 36 hours per week, school hours). The posting includes schedule info: "This position is a 10 month position, 36 hours per week, school hours". That is schedule info. So we can have a Schedule section.
Benefits: they list "Generous Paid Time OffComprehensive Medical/Dental/Vision Benefit PackagesEarned Wage Access/On-Demand PayPaid On-the-Job TrainingTuition ReimbursementCareer Advancement Opportunities and GrowthFlexible SchedulesRetirement Savings Plan". That's a run-on list; we need to split into items. We'll produce
- for each.
Responsibilities: many sentences; we can turn each sentence into
- . Ensure we don't duplicate lines (there is duplication: "Participates and assists with supervision in all program projects and activities by attending enrichment and therapeutic classes, school assemblies, and field trips to maintain effective supervision of students and foster a safe, supervised environment" appears twice. We should keep only one instance.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can combine duplicates but not lose info. Since it's duplicate, we can keep one.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. No pay mentioned.
We need to not create Benefits unless posting actually states them. Yes we have benefits.
We need to not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. Yes we have schedule.
We need to not create Qualifications separate from Requirements? The instruction list includes Qualifications as possible heading, but we can use Requirements for education/experience/skills. We'll use
Requirements
.
We also might have "About the role" heading for overview. Use About the role
.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract overview text: "This position is a 10 month position, 36 hours per week, school hours Join a Team That Changes Lives For more than 170 years, Elwyn has been leading the way in supporting children, teens, and adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and behavioral health challenges.

We need to separate schedule from overview? The schedule info is first sentence: "This position is a 10 month position, 36 hours per week, school hours". We could put that in Schedule section. The rest is about the role.
Thus Overview/About the role: after removing schedule sentence.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Join a Team That Changes Lives For more than 170 years, Elwyn has been leading the way in supporting children, teens, and adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and behavioral health challenges.

But note that the benefits list appears also in this paragraph; we might want to move benefits to its own section. The instruction says: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. Benefits are listed; we should create Benefits section and not duplicate them in About the role. So we should remove the benefits list from About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role paragraph: "Join a Team That Changes Lives For more than 170 years, Elwyn has been leading the way in supporting children, teens, and adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and behavioral health challenges.

Ensure each as - .
Schedule section: "This position is a 10 month position, 36 hours per week, school hours". Could be a
