We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have overview, essential duties, non-essential duties, responsibilities (actually they list required experience etc). We need to parse. We need to avoid repeating job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: "This job description indicates the general nature..." etc. Also remove "Our Commitment To You" maybe benefits? They have benefits description. We need to include Benefits section if there is real content. They list benefits: compensation base, premium pay, opportunity for annual increases, benefits list: PTO, health welfare, HSA/FSA, retirement plans, educational assistance, etc. Also they have separate Benefits - .5 To 1.0 FTE Paid Time Off programs etc. Also Benefits - .001 To .49 FTE Paid Leave Hours accrued as you work. Also Employee Health Requirements etc. That's a lot. We should include Benefits section summarizing those details (but not invent). We need to preserve all substantive info, not summarize away detail. However we can keep details as prose or list. We also have Pay Range: USD $16.49 - USD $19.94 /Hr. So Pay section. Schedule? Not given explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. Skills? Not explicit separate; maybe we can include under Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if no specific content. We need sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (essential duties maybe), Requirements (required experience, licensure/education), Qualifications (preferred experience/education), Benefits, Pay. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract: Overview: The Kitchen Porter at Riverside Senior Living is responsible for ensuring the cleanliness and organization of the kitchen and dining areas. This role is crucial in maintaining a sanitary environment by handling dishwashing, cleaning, and basic food preparation tasks. The Kitchen Porter will work closely with the kitchen and dining room teams to support smooth and efficient operations, contributing to the overall dining experience of our residents. Essential Duties list: Dishwashing, Kitchen Cleaning, Food Preparation Assistance, Inventory Management, Waste Management, Health and Safety Compliance, Team Support. Non-essential Duties: Event Support, Maintenance Assistance, Training Support. Responsibilities section maybe combine essential duties? The posting also has a "Responsibilities" heading later: "Required Experience Strong attention to detail, ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment, good organizational skills, and a strong commitment to cleanliness and safety." That seems like required experience/skills. Then "Preferred Experience Previous experience in a kitchen or cleaning role is preferred but not required." Then "Required Licensure/Education Food Handlers Certification or willingness to obtain one within the first 30 days of employment." Then "Preferred Education High school diploma or equivalent preferred but not required." Thus we can map: About the role: overview paragraph. Responsibilities: list of essential duties (maybe also non-essential? but they are non-essential; we could include them under Responsibilities as well, but maybe better to put essential duties under Responsibilities and non-essential under something else? There's no heading for non-essential. Could include them under Responsibilities as well, but we need to preserve all info. We'll include both essential and non-essential duties under Responsibilities as a combined list. Requirements: Required Experience (strong attention to detail etc) and Required Licensure/Education (Food Handlers Certification). Also maybe Required Experience includes ability to work efficiently etc. Qualifications: Preferred Experience (previous kitchen/cleaning), Preferred Education (HS diploma). Benefits: The "Our Commitment To You" section includes benefits details. We'll capture that. Pay: Pay Range. We must not include boilerplate like "This job description indicates the general nature..." etc. Also remove "Our Commitment To You Riverside Healthcare offers a comprehensive suite of Total Rewards: benefits and nationally rated employee well-being programs, competitive compensation, generous retirement offerings, programs that invest in your career development and so much more so your journey at and away from work is remarkable." That's somewhat fluff but still substantive? It's generic marketing. Might be considered boilerplate but it's describing benefits. We'll keep the specific benefits list after that. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft:

Check we didn't include Schedule. Good. We need to ensure no repeated headings, no empty sections. All content present. Check we didn't include job title heading. Good. Check we didn't include metadata like Job ID. Not present. Check we didn't include boilerplate like "This job description indicates the general nature..." Not present. Check we didn't include "Our Commitment To You" fluff; we omitted that sentence but kept benefits list. That's okay. Check we didn't include "Employee Health Requirements" etc. That's not benefits but maybe could be considered part of benefits? It's about health requirements, not benefits. Should we include? It's substantive info about health requirements (exposure to chemicals, etc.). The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that info somewhere. Where? Could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Health & Safety". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under Requirements or maybe under Responsibilities? It's about health requirements, not duties. Could be under Requirements as additional bullet. Let's incorporate. We have Employee Health Requirements: Exposure to: Chemicals: Refer to MSDS sheets. Video Display Terminals: None. Blood and Body Fluids: Minimal - None. TB or Airborne Pathogens: None. Sensory Requirements (speech, Vision, Smell, Hearing, Touch) Speech: Needed for communication with other team members. Vision: Need to read memos and literature, preparation of food., safety procedures. Vision: Needed handle dishes and equipment. Smell: NA. Hearing: Needed to hear machine for warning signals. Touch: Needed to feel to handle dishes. Activity/Lifting Requirements: percentages etc. Also lifting requirements details. Also repetitive use of hands etc. Environmental Factors & Special Hazards. All that is substantive. We need to preserve it. Where to put? Could be under Requirements (maybe as "Physical & Environmental Requirements") but we only have allowed headings; we could add a new heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings; but we could also add other headings if needed? It says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could create a section for Health & Safety Requirements if we want. But to be safe, we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. However the Requirements heading is for required experience/licensure; but we can expand to include physical requirements. It's still a requirement. So we can add bullets under Requirements for physical demands, lifting, etc. Similarly Environmental Factors & Special Hazards could be under Requirements as well. Thus we will extend Requirements list with those details. We must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all specifics: percentages, times, lifting ranges, etc. Let's extract those details: Activity/Lifting Requirements Percentage of time during the normal workday the employee is required to: Sit: 0% Twist: 10% Stand: 50% Crawl: 0% Walk: 10% Kneel: 4% Lift: 10% Drive: 0% Squat: 10% Climb: 0% Bend: 10% Reach above shoulders: 20% The weight required to be lifted each normal workday according to the continuum described below: Up to 10 lbs: Frequently Up to 20 lbs: Frequently Up to 35 lbs: Occasionally Up to 50 lbs: Occasionally Up to 75 lbs: Not Required Up to 100 lbs: Not Required Over 100 lbs: Not Required Describe and explain the lifting and carrying requirements. (Example: the distance material is carried; how high material is lifted, etc.): May be required to lift up to 50 lbs. Team Lift is encouraged. Maximum consecutive time (minutes
