Requirements: Could combine Qualifications (education, license, age, background) and Physical/Environmental Demands? But we have separate heading Requirements and Qualifications. Perhaps we put license/education/age/background under Qualifications, and physical demands under Requirements? Or we could put all under Requirements and skip Qualifications. But we have both headings available; we need to avoid empty sections. We could use Qualifications for education/license, and Requirements for age/background check and physical demands. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's just examples; we can choose which to include. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have content for each. Let's split:

Requirements: Age 21+, Criminal/Child Abuse Clearance, Physical/Environmental Demands.
Skills: Abilities/Skills list (including clinical assessment, counseling, addiction education, cultural competence, trauma-informed care, self-motivated, teamwork, communication, values, First Aid/CPR certification, driver license).

We must ensure we don't lose any detail: The values list (Faith, Integrity, Relationship, Stewardship) is under Demonstrate the following values. We need to keep that as part of Skills section.
Also note "Demonstrate being self-motivated, self-disciplined, and diligent with forward thinkings." Keep as is.
Also "Demonstrate the ability to think of their team over self and define success collectively rather than individually."
Also "The ability to effectively interact and communicate with others. These skills are essential for building and maintaining relationships, collaborating with colleagues, resolving conflicts, and navigating various social situations."
