- This position is located in the Kalaupapa Settlement in Kalawao County, on the Island of Molokai. Kalaupapa is a small peninsula on the north shore of Molokai. It is a severely isolated community surrounded by the ocean on three sides and 2,000 foot cliffs on the fourth side. Access into the Settlement is by a small 5-8 passenger commuter airplane; or on foot or mule down a 26-switchback trail down the sea cliffs. Ocean access is limited to only a few months in the summer when the sea is calm enough to allow boats to dock. Kalaupapa is a closed community. By law, only persons authorized by the State may enter the Settlement, and minors are not allowed. This means, no one can live in the Settlement unless they are employed by the Settlement, the State or Federal Government, or if they are an official volunteer in the Settlement. The Settlement is a self-contained community which includes a care home, grocery store, gas station, airport, motor pool, carpenter shop, landfill, State library, U.S. Post Office and over 150 homes and buildings, many on the historic building registry.
- Minimum Qualification Requirements: No training and experience required.

We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "CLICK HERE for further information about Equal Employment Opportunity..." etc. Also remove "PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS (PSLF) PROGRAM" maybe? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered benefits? It's a program description; could be considered a benefit? The instruction says include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. The PSLF program is a benefit description. So we could include a Benefits section with that content. Also "Other Information" about disability accommodations could be considered a benefit or maybe a note. Could be placed under Benefits or maybe under a generic section? The allowed headings are limited; we can use Benefits for that.
We also have "Minimum Qualification Requirements: No training and experience required." That's a qualification but says none required. Should we include a Qualifications section? The instruction: 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. For Qualifications, "No training and experience required." is substantive? It's a statement that there are no minimum qualifications. It's not filler like "N/A". It's a real statement. So we can include a Qualifications section with that content.
Responsibilities: Duties Summary list. Use - .
About the role: maybe a brief description of the role? The posting includes location description and duties. Could put location and general description under About the role.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not present). Also avoid Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The recruitment number and immediate vacancy note could be placed in a short paragraph maybe under About the role? Or we could drop it as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with recruitment number and note about open until 20 applications.
We also need to remove application instructions like "PLEASE APPLY IMMEDIATELY..." etc. That's application instruction; should be removed.
Also remove "NOTE: Employees appointed to temporary positions may also gain membership..." That's not boilerplate; it's about benefits of temporary position. Could be included under Benefits? It's about civil service membership benefits. Could be part of Benefits.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: include location description and maybe general role summary (assist cooks, etc). Could also include recruitment number note as a short p.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications: "No training and experience required."
- Benefits: include civil service membership benefits, PSLF program, disability accommodation info? The disability accommodation is more about equal opportunity; but it's a benefit/right. Could include.
We must not create Pay or Schedule sections because not stated.
We must not create Skills section unless there is specific content; none.
We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
