Juvenile Counselor I
About the role
(or "About The Opportunity"). - Responsibilities: The description includes many duties: custody decisions, transportation, security, crisis interventions, etc. Could be a list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Additional Requirements (driver's license, background check, CPR, lift). Also maybe "Ideal Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (KSAs)" could be Skills. - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience). Could be separate. - Skills: Ideal KSAs. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed except mention of collective bargaining agreement link, but no specific benefits described. There's mention of "award-winning benefits and wellness program" under "Our Commitment To You". That's a benefit statement but vague. It says "We promote employee development and offer an award-winning benefits and wellness program". That's somewhat specific? It's not detailed but it's a statement of benefits. The rule: do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "offer an award-winning benefits and wellness program". That's a benefit statement, albeit vague. Should we include? Probably yes, as it's a benefit mention. But we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". This is a specific statement: award-winning benefits and wellness program. So we can include Benefits section with that sentence. - Pay: Pay Range $30.76 - $37.42 Hourly. That's specific. So include Pay section. - Schedule: The posting includes shift details: overnight shifts, specific hours. So include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: note about posting through date, current employees, selection process link, equal opportunity, veterans preference, accommodation, status of application, notice about classification study, recruiter contact? Those are boilerplate/application instructions. Should be removed. Also "To review the full collective bargaining agreement..." link maybe considered metadata but could be kept? It's about benefits. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into Benefits paragraph. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for that link maybe. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details about duties, qualifications, KSAs, pay, schedule, benefits mention. We must not create sections with filler/placeholder text. So each heading must have real content. We'll produce something like:

Schedule
Overnight shift schedule (example): Friday 11:00 pm‑7:00 am (8 hrs), Saturday 9:00 pm‑9:00 am (12 hrs), Sunday 9:00 pm‑9:00 am (12 hrs), Monday 9:00 pm‑5:00 am (8 hrs) OR Thursday 9:00 pm‑5:00 am (8 hrs) … etc.
We need to preserve all specifics: The schedule includes two possible patterns? Actually the text shows two patterns: first block: Friday 11pm-7am, Sat 9pm-9am, Sun 9pm-9am, Mon 9pm-5am. Then "OR Thursday 9pm-5am, Fri 11pm-7am, Sat 9pm-9am, Sun 9pm-9am". So we should include both options. We should also include that the role works overnight shift and includes weekend work. We need to ensure we don't repeat content unnecessarily but preserve all. Let's extract the About The Opportunity paragraph: "The Department of Juvenile Services is actively recruiting for a Juvenile Counselor I to join our team! The current opening is in Custody Services, a round-the-clock operation (24/7) within the Washington County Juvenile Department. Custody Services staff make critical decisions regarding the custody of youth who have been referred for new law violations, probation violations and/or violations of conditions of release as ordered by the Juvenile Court. We are responsible for transportation of youth to and from the Marion County Juvenile Detention Facility located in Salem Oregon. This includes conducting secure transports of youth to and from other secure facilities throughout the state as well as conducting interstate compact transports from other states. Our staff provides security for the Juvenile Courtrooms and works with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Court unit on high-risk cases. We are also responsible for crisis and emergency interventions that occur within all locations of the Juvenile Department. The role works an overnight shift and includes weekend work." We can keep that as prose. Now Responsibilities: we could break into list items: make critical decisions regarding custody; transportation; secure transports; interstate compact transports; security for Juvenile Courtrooms; work with Sheriff’s Office; crisis and emergency interventions; overnight shift; weekend work. But some of that is already in About. To avoid duplication, we could keep About as overview and Responsibilities as list of duties. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating same sentences. So we need to decide what goes where. Better: Use About the role for general overview (maybe first sentence). Then Responsibilities list the specific duties. Ensure we don't repeat same sentences. Let's craft: About the role: "The Department of Juvenile Services is recruiting for a Juvenile Counselor I in Custody Services, a 24/7 operation within the Washington County Juvenile Department." Then Responsibilities list: - Make critical decisions regarding custody of youth referred for new law violations, probation violations, or violations of conditions of release as ordered by Juvenile Court. - Transport youth to and from the Marion County Juvenile Detention Facility in Salem, Oregon, including secure transports to other state facilities and interstate compact transports from other states. - Provide security for Juvenile Courtrooms and collaborate with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Court unit on high‑risk cases. - Conduct crisis and emergency interventions across all Juvenile Department locations. - Work overnight shifts that include weekend work (see Schedule for specific hours). That covers duties without repeating the overview. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (education/experience) and Additional Requirements. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Qualifications heading, and Additional Requirements maybe also under Qualifications or Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide where to put each. We have: - Minimum Qualifications (education/experience) -> Qualifications. - Additional Requirements (driver's license, background check, CPR, lift) -> Requirements. - Ideal KSAs -> Skills. Thus:Qualifications
