Juvenile Probation Officer #1723 - Juvenile Court Judge
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections have content.
We have description: "This position requires a Federal NCIC background check and fingerprinting prior to accepting the position and every five (5) years thereafter as a condition of continued employment in the position." That's a requirement. Could go under Requirements or Additional Requirements.
Then: "Under general supervision, to perform a variety of duties associated with juvenile casework services to monitor youth placed under court ordered conditions as an alternative to community removal. The probation services involve completing pre-dispositional investigations, presenting recommendations to the court, confirming compliance with the court order, counseling and crisis intervention, referrals to community agencies, A&D screening, and report writing." That's responsibilities.
Then "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: ... Tasks ..." That's more detailed responsibilities/duties.
Then "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, And Other Characteristics" -> that's Skills/Knowledge.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" -> Qualifications.
Then "Additional Requirements" (NCIC background check again, plus defensive driving). Could be part of Requirements.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" -> Qualifications (preferred).
Then "Physical Requirements" -> maybe a section? Could be under Requirements or separate? There's no specific heading for Physical Requirements in the list but we could treat as Requirements or maybe as a separate section? The instruction says use headings for those listed; we can create other headings if needed? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we should stick to those headings where applicable. Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements or maybe we can omit if not substantive? It is substantive. Could include under Requirements.
Additional Information includes boilerplate about overtime, in-person, holidays, etc. Some of that may be considered boilerplate; we should remove generic statements like "All positions within Hamilton County Government are considered work in-person and require regular and punctual attendance." That's somewhat generic but maybe still relevant? It's about schedule? Could be considered Schedule info. But we should avoid filler like "not guaranteed", "subject to change". Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The additional information includes some generic statements but not exactly those categories. Might keep as part of Schedule or Additional Information? But we are not to create sections unless posting has real specific content. The additional info includes: "Any overtime hours offered in this position are not guaranteed, are an estimate, and are subject to change." That's vague. "All positions within Hamilton County Government are considered work in-person and require regular and punctual attendance." That's generic but still about schedule. "All positions within Hamilton County Government may require work on Holidays or weekends. Additionally, irregular hours and shift work may be required, including possible extension of shift hours, at times with short notice." That's schedule info. So we could create a Schedule section with that content.
Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none mentioned. So we omit those.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not needed.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it; never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
Thus we need to extract specifics.
Let's parse.
About the role: Could be the first paragraph: "This position requires a Federal NCIC background check and fingerprinting prior to accepting the position and every five (5) years thereafter as a condition of continued employment in the position. Under general supervision, to perform a variety of duties associated with juvenile casework services to monitor youth placed under court ordered conditions as an alternative to community removal." That's more about requirements and role. Maybe we can have About the role as a brief summary: "Under general supervision, perform juvenile casework services to monitor youth under court-ordered conditions as an alternative to community removal." That's substantive.
But we must not invent; we can rephrase but must preserve meaning. It's okay to paraphrase as long as we don't lose detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Paraphrasing is okay if we keep the info. We'll try to keep details.
Responsibilities: list of duties from the description and essential functions.
Let's extract duties:
- Completing pre-dispositional investigations
- Presenting recommendations to the court
- Confirming compliance with the court order
- Counseling and crisis intervention
- Referrals to community agencies
- A&D screening (alcohol & drug?)
- Report writing
- Supervises and oversees a caseload of youth referred to and/or deferred from the Juvenile Court
- Compiles information, conducts interviews, and develops comprehensive reports identifying elements of the charge, family and personal history, education, work experience, impact on victims and other information
- Identifies and recommends viable sentencing alternatives
- Identifies, recommends and presents alternatives for consideration
- Meets with youth and/or other affected parties
- Appears and testifies in court
- Assists in supervising public service hours which may require occasional Saturday work
- Maintains, updates and manages files, records and other paperwork associated with individual files and the entire caseload
- Develops, updates and maintains statistical and related records and reports
- Visits with referral on a scheduled and unscheduled basis
- Assess compliance with court or administratively-ordered alternatives to incarceration
- Identifies and proposes modifications to set parameters as appropriate
- Prepares and submits court documents, forms and other items necessary for court records and information
- Maintain certification in ACES; present test battery to all delinquent clients and evaluate results for appropriate referral
- Performs other related duties as assigned
That's a lot. We'll put as
- .
Requirements: includes Federal NCIC background check and fingerprinting prior to accepting and every five years; valid driver's license; prior to operating a County-owned vehicle, complete HC Defensive Driving course and/or EVOC; maybe also physical requirements? We'll include physical requirements under Requirements or separate? We'll keep under Requirements.
Also maybe "Work requires a minimum to moderate amount of physical effort with intermittent typing, sitting, standing, walking, talking, hearing and driving. This position may require the occasional lifting and carrying of up to twenty-five 25 pounds. Work also involves the potential for bodily harm and exposure to infectious diseases." That's physical requirements.
We'll include that.
