Job Coach School to Work, Monday- Thursday
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. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. 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.
We need to extract sections: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (qualifications), Benefits (list of perks), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work hours). Also maybe "Physical Demands" but not in list; but we could include under Requirements or separate? The instruction only mentions those headings as examples; we can use others if needed but better to stick to given headings. However we have content about Physical Demands; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include under Requirements.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections we create must have substantive content.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro paragraph about Abilities First: mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". Since they said "About the role" as example, we can use that to describe the role and organization.
- Position Summary: description of role.
- Schedule: Monday - Thursday 8:00am -4pm (30 hours per week)
- Salary range $18.16-$20.16
- Position Standards: list of duties/responsibilities (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert to
- .
- Perks & Benefits: list of benefits.
- Job Requirements: bullet list of requirements.
- Physical Demands: description.
- At end: encouragement to apply.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's craft sections:
About the role
Abilities First, Inc. has been empowering individuals with developmental disabilities for over 60 years, offering preschool and school programs, day and residential habilitation, community connections, and employment services. The organization believes in the power of people of every background, identity, and ability to create change and build a more inclusive world. As a mission‑driven team, Abilities First values collaboration, celebrates individuality, and is dedicated to meaningful work.
But maybe we should keep the description of the role: Position Summary.
Better: About the role
containing the Position Summary paragraph.
Then Responsibilities
with list from Position Standards.
Then Requirements
with job requirements plus physical demands.
Then Benefits
with perks.
Then Pay
with salary range.
Then Schedule
with schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. All have content.
Check for duplication: The Position Standards list includes many items; we will list each as - .
Job Requirements list includes: Bachelor’s degree... etc. We'll list each.
Physical Demands: we can incorporate into Requirements as additional items or separate section? Since we have Requirements already, we can add physical demands as part of Requirements list.
We need to ensure we don't repeat same content.
Let's extract Position Standards sentences:
"Complete all assessment documentation for review by School to Work Services Coordinator, school personnel and parents.
Establish specific individual goals for each student based on interests, strengths, and demonstrated needs for support.
Assume responsibility for training, supervision, and support to insure reaching individual goals for each student.
Attend all relevant meetings both at IES and School.
Observe each students activity, behavior, and progress and report to Coordinator on a daily basis.
Share information pre-actively with school personnel and parents as directed.
Analyze all skills to be taught and/or observed and teach through recommended training techniques.
Respond in a positive manner to requests for additional supports and/or training.
Advocate for each students ongoing success in a positive, creative, and pro-active manner.
Assume driving responsibilities when requested and transport students and/or adults as necessary.
When between assignments or during other periods of time away for sites, perform the following as assigned: meet with school personnel to apprise them of student progress at annual reviews, issues, etc., lend support to other staff members of this department which may mean assisting at a job site.
Assist, as directed, with student screening for program readiness, site development and coordination.
Adhere to the agency Code of Legal and Ethical Behavior.
Follow all agency policy and procedures.
Performs other appropriate job related activities as requested by the supervisor or as circumstances warrant.
Supports the agency vision and mission.
Consistently exhibit the qualities of a committed and professional employee including but not limited to: respect towards others, strive for excellence, teamwork, and unity."
We'll turn each sentence into
- .
Job Requirements:
"Bachelor’s degree in education, human services, or related field a plus; alternate combination of education & experience considered.
Experience with special education preferred with practical, working knowledge of the special education system.
A reliable vehicle, valid driver’s license deemed “acceptable” by our insurance carrier.
Possess verbal and written communication skills in English to ensure adequate regulatory documentation.
Have the ability to stand and walk for long periods of time.
Have the ability to push and pull individuals in wheelchairs, lift, bend, squat, turn in the knees, pivot, and grasp with both hands (in order to properly and safely perform the techniques taught in CPR/First Aid, behavior intervention techniques, and lifting and carrying techniques), with or without a reasonable accommodation.
Valid NYS driver's license deemed acceptable by our insurance carrier"
Note duplicate: "A reliable vehicle, valid driver’s license deemed “acceptable” by our insurance carrier." and "Valid NYS driver's license deemed acceptable by our insurance carrier". We'll keep both but maybe combine? We should preserve all substantive info; we can keep both as separate items but they are similar. Could combine but that might lose nuance. We'll keep both.
Physical Demands:
"Have the ability to lift up to 50 lbs., bend, squat, turn in the knees, pivot and grasp with both hands (in order to properly and safely perform the techniques taught in CPR/First Aid, behavior intervention techniques, and lifting and carrying techniques).
Lift individuals by using appropriate techniques, including but not limited to usage of tools to assist, such as the Hoyer Lift.
Assist individuals in ambulation by providing physical assistance, including use of a gait belt or other equipment where necessary.
Have the ability to stand and walk for extended periods of time.
Have the ability to push, pull, and maneuver adults in wheelchairs.
Possess verbal and written communication skills, in English, to ensure adequate regulatory documentation."
We'll add these as
- under Requirements as well.
Benefits list:
"Time to Recharge – Vacation, personal, sick, and holidays built around the school calendar
Health & Wellness – Medical, dental, and vision plans to keep you covered
Plan For The Future – 401(k) with employer match and employer-paid life insurance
Level Up Your Skills– Tuition reimbursement and online training through the College of Direct Support (and to boost your earning potential)
Get Paid When You Need It – On Demand Pay gives you access to earnings as early as the next day
Exclusive Extras – Employee discounts with Verizon, AT&T, Royal Carting, and more"
We'll make each as
- .
Pay: "$18.16-$20.16" (salary range). We'll put in
.
Schedule: "Monday - Thursday 8:00am -4pm (30 hours per week)". We'll put in
.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO statements. The posting includes: "Abilities First is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and is welcoming and supportive of people of varying abilities, races, ethnicities, religions, socio-economic status, gender and gender identities." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove. Also later: "At Abilities First, we recognize that talent and potential come in many forms. If this position inspires you but your experience does not align with every preferred qualification, we still encourage you to apply. You may be the right candidate for this role—or another opportunity within our organization". That's not boilerplate but it's encouraging to apply; might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply but encourages. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is more of an encouragement; but it's not a concrete instruction like "apply here". Might be okay to keep? Safer to remove as it's generic encouragement. We'll drop that paragraph.
Also remove duplicated lines: we saw duplicate driver license lines; we keep both but they are similar; maybe we should keep only one to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. The duplicate driver license lines are duplicated; we should keep only one instance. We'll keep one: "Valid NYS driver's license deemed acceptable by our insurance carrier". Also we have "A reliable vehicle, valid driver’s license deemed “acceptable” by our insurance carrier." That's not exactly duplicate but similar; we can keep both as they add vehicle reliability. Not duplicate exactly. We'll keep both.
Now produce HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then ... maybe combine mission and position summary.
Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine the intro about Abilities First and the Position Summary.
Intro: "For over 60 years, Abilities First, Inc. has been empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to live their most vibrant, independent lives. From early education to adulthood, our wide range of services—including preschool and school programs, day and residential habilitation, community connections, and employment services—are designed to uplift every individual’s unique strengths and dreams. We believe in the power of people—of every background, identity, and ability—to create change and build a more inclusive world. Abilities First is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and is welcoming and supportive of people of varying abilities, races, ethnicities, religions, socio-economic status, gender and gender identities. At Abilities First, you’ll join a mission-driven team that values collaboration, celebrates individuality, and is dedicated to meaningful work. If you're ready to turn your passion into purpose, we’d love to welcome you aboard."
But we need to remove EEO line. So remove that sentence. Also we might keep the mission-driven team sentence.
Thus About the role paragraph: "For over 60 years, Abilities First, Inc. has been empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to live their most vibrant, independent lives.
