We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Keep all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Activity Therapist - Sonora Behavioral Health Shift: Monday to Friday
- Mission statement: "Our mission is to provide superior behavioral healthcare..."
- Services description: includes inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs. Recognized by Optum as Platinum in-patient provider.
- Join our team as an Activity Therapist and make a meaningful impact... (description of role)
- "Why Join" bullet list: Competitive compensation with industry leading annual performance-based bonus opportunity; Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) with company match; Stock-based awards; Generous paid time off; Professional development & leadership training; Career mobility within Acadia’s nationwide network of 250+ facilities
- Essential Functions: list of duties (multiple bullet-like sentences). Should be a list.
- Other Functions: "Perform other functions and tasks as assigned." Might be minor; could be omitted? It's a line but not substantive? Could be included as a list item maybe.
- Education/Experience/Skill Requirements: Bachelor's Degree in Therapeutic Recreation, Recreational Therapy or related field required. Master’s degree preferred. Three or more years’ experience in recreation in a healthcare setting with knowledge of patient population served by the facility required. Previous experience in recreation in a healthcare setting is preferred.
- Licenses/Designations/Certifications: Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) or currently in the process of obtaining national certification; OR certified in the area of specialty (Art, Dance, Music, etc.) OR clinical professional licensure (LCPC, LPC, etc.) with certification in expressive therapy area required. CPR and de-escalation and restraint certification required (training available upon hire and offered by facility). First aid may be required based on state or facility requirements.
- Then a sentence about management reserves right to add or remove duties... (boilerplate? Might be considered generic but still substantive? It's a disclaimer; maybe we can drop as it's generic. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This sentence is not exactly those but could be considered generic boilerplate. Safer to drop.
- Then EEO statement: "We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities..." Should be removed.
- "AHMKT" maybe a code; drop.
Thus sections:
- About the role: could include mission and description of role? The posting includes mission statement and description of role. Could be under "About the role". Or we could have "About the role" containing mission and role summary.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: Education/Experience/Skill Requirements plus Licenses/Certifications.
- Benefits: Why Join list (compensation, benefits, 401k, stock, PTO, professional dev, career mobility). Also note shift Monday to Friday (schedule). So we could have Schedule section: Monday to Friday.
- Pay: The posting mentions "Competitive compensation with industry leading annual performance-based bonus opportunity". That's compensation info, so we can include Pay section with that detail.
But we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation, benefits, schedule. So we can include those.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Keep all substantive info.

. Good.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's craft sections:
About the role
Sonora Behavioral Health’s mission is to provide superior behavioral healthcare to the people and communities we serve. Children (5-11), adolescents (12-17), and adults in crisis situations can benefit from our broad scope of programs. Our services include inpatient hospitalization for crisis stabilization, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. We have been recognized by Optum as a Platinum in‑patient provider of behavioral health services for our achievements in clinical excellence. Join our team as an Activity Therapist and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives through therapeutic recreation and engagement. In this role, you will assess patient needs, develop individualized treatment plans, and lead a variety of therapeutic activities designed to support mental, physical, emotional, and social well‑being. Through creativity, compassion, and clinical expertise, you will help patients build skills, achieve treatment goals, increase independence, and enhance their overall quality of life in a safe and supportive environment. If you are passionate about empowering others and creating positive, engaging experiences, we encourage you to apply.
That's prose.
Responsibilities
- Complete activity assessment through patient observation and patient/family interview, obtaining information on the patient’s needs, skills, interests and limitations for the development and implementation of the treatment plan.
- Plan, organize, direct and implement the activities within the treatment program to facilitate patient progress with treatment goals.
- Plan and implement an activities program including but not limited to therapeutic leisure skills and activities, leisure education and leisure awareness.
- Facilitate and lead activity sessions to improve patient mental and physical well‑being.
- Instruct patients in activities and techniques, such as sports, dance, music, art or relaxation techniques designed to meet their specific needs.
- Develop treatment plans and implement activity interventions that meet patient needs and interests and help the patient achieve his/her treatment goals.
- Engage patients in therapeutic activities, such as exercise, games and community outings.
- Help patients learn social skills needed to become or remain independent.
- Modify activities to suit the needs of specific groups.
- Demonstrate a positive, empathetic and professional attitude towards customers always. When patient needs are not met, acknowledge and work to resolve complaints.
- Recognize that patient safety is a top priority.
- Perform other functions and tasks as assigned.
Note: "facilitate" spelled correctly; original had "facility patient progress". We'll correct to "facilitate". Must preserve info; slight correction maybe okay but better to keep original wording? Original: "Plan, organize, direct and implement the activities within the treatment program to facility patient progress with treatment goals." That seems a typo; but we should preserve as is? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing a typo could be considered altering. Safer to keep original text exactly. So keep "facility". We'll keep as is.
Similarly other sentences: keep original.
Let's copy each bullet exactly as in text:
- "Complete activity assessment through patient observation and patient/family interview, obtaining information on the patient’s needs, skills, interests and limitations for the development and implementation of the treatment plan."
- "Plan, organize, direct and implement the activities within the treatment program to facility patient progress with treatment goals."
- "Plan and implement an activities program including but not limited to therapeutic leisure skills and activities, leisure education and leisure awareness."
- "Facilitate and lead activity sessions to improve patient mental and physical well-being."
- "Instruct patients in activities and techniques, such are sports, dance, music, art or relaxation techniques designed to meet their specific needs." Note original: "such are sports". We'll keep that.
- "Develop treatment plans and implement activity interventions that meet patient needs and interests and helps the patient achieve his/her treatment goals."
- "Engage patients in therapeutic activities, such as exercise, games and community outings."
- "Help patients learn social skills needed to become or remain independent."
- "Modify activities to suit the needs of specific groups."
- "Demonstrate a positive, empathetic and professional attitude towards customers always. When patient needs are not met, acknowledge and work to resolve complaints."
- "Recognize that patient safety is a top priority."
- "Perform other functions and tasks as assigned."
We'll keep them.
Requirements
We could combine Education/Experience/Skill Requirements and Licenses/Designations/Certifications into one Requirements section, or split into Qualifications and Skills. The instruction: use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. Probably best to have:
Education and Experience
(but not in allowed list? Allowed list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can use Requirements for education/experience, and Qualifications for licenses/certs, or Skills for skills. Let's do:
Requirements
for education/experience.
Qualifications
for licenses/certs.
We could also have Skills
if there are specific skills listed; not really.
Thus:
Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in Therapeutic Recreation, Recreational Therapy or related field required. Master’s degree preferred. Three or more years’ experience in recreation in a healthcare setting with knowledge of patient population served by the facility required. Previous experience in recreation in a healthcare setting is preferred.

- CPR and de-escalation and restraint certification required (training available upon hire and offered by facility).
- First aid may be required based on state or facility requirements.
Now Benefits:
Benefits
- Competitive compensation with industry leading annual performance-based bonus opportunity

Pay: Actually compensation already included in Benefits list; but we could separate Pay section for compensation detail. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could keep compensation inside Benefits. But we also have a separate Pay heading maybe redundant. Since we already have compensation in Benefits, we can omit Pay section.
Schedule: The posting says Shift: Monday to Friday. So we can have Schedule section.
Schedule
Monday to Friday
Now we must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed EEO, management reserves right, AHMKT.
Check for duplicated lines: none.
Now output only HTML fragment.
