We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — 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 posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have content: About The Team, About The Position, Key Responsibilities, Qualifications, Amazing Benefits. Also location, schedule info: "Schedule: Full-time; variable hours including evenings and occasional weekends. Community events as needed." So we have schedule info. Pay not mentioned. So we should not create Pay section. We need sections: maybe About the Team (could be About the role? but we have About The Team and About The Position). Could combine? But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections to include based on content. We have About The Team (description of team). Could map to About the role? Or maybe we can have About the role (maybe combine About The Team and About The Position). But we must not invent headings not in list? The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying we can use those headings, but not required to use exactly those? Probably we should use those headings where applicable. We can also use other headings if needed? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings for sections. So we should map content to those headings. We have: - About the role: could include About The Team and About The Position combined? Or we could have About the role (description of role) and maybe About the team separate? But we only have those headings list; we could also include About the team as part of About the role. Probably better to have About the role (summary of role and team). Then Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Then Requirements (maybe Qualifications). Then Qualifications (maybe separate? but we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings; we could treat Requirements as the list of required qualifications, and Qualifications as maybe preferred? But we have qualifications list includes required and preferred. Could split: Requirements = required qualifications; Qualifications = preferred experience? But we have also Skills heading; we could list skills under Skills. However we have no explicit skills list besides maybe "trauma-informed, culturally responsive, data-driven" etc. Could treat those as skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Qualifications (or Requirements). But we need to follow instruction: use those headings for sections; but we can omit sections if no content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. That's five sections. That seems reasonable. We need to ensure we don't create Pay section (no pay info). Schedule we have. Now we need to extract substantive content and format. Let's gather content: About The Team: "The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh provides comprehensive and holistic services for children with autism and related disorders between the ages of 18 months to 21 years old. We offer a range of programs, including both individual and Group Therapy to best meet the needs of each child. We provide individual and group ABA services in a clinical setting. Parent training is a key part of our program and can occur in person in the clinic or via telehealth. The ABA program collaborates directly with in-house speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral health, and nutrition/feeding programs where appropriate." About The Position: "The Lead Board Certified Behavior Analyst (Lead BCBA) provides clinical leadership and oversight for the development, implementation, and monitoring of individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment plans for children, adolescents, and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and related developmental needs. This role delivers advanced, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and data-driven IBHS services; conducts behavioral assessments; supervises and mentors direct care staff; supports program quality; and ensures services meet clinical, regulatory, payer, and ethical standards. The Lead BCBA is accountable for achieving meaningful client outcomes through interdisciplinary collaboration, treatment fidelity, family engagement, staff development, and continuous quality improvement across clinic, community, school, home, and telehealth settings as clinically appropriate." Key Responsibilities: list bullet points (starting with "Conduct advanced, trauma-informed, culturally responsive functional behavioral assessments..." etc). We'll need to turn each into
  • . Qualifications: list of required and preferred. Let's extract: - Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Special Education, Social Work, Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, or a related human services or behavioral health field required. - Must hold an active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credential in good standing. Certification must be maintained. - Must hold or be eligible for Pennsylvania licensure as a Licensed Behavior Specialist (LBS) or other qualifying designation per IBHS or payer requirements. - Minimum of five years of relevant experience in ABA, IBHS, BHRS, outpatient behavioral health, or related clinical settings preferred. - Minimum of two years of experience providing ABA services to clients ages 2–21 with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or related behavioral health needs required. - Prior experience supervising behavior technicians, registered behavior technicians, or other direct care staff under BACB supervision standards required. - Valid Pennsylvania driver's license, reliable transportation, and active automobile insurance required. - Act 33/34 Clearances and FBI Clearance required. - Current CPR and First Aid certification required (training provided upon hire). - Completion of crisis de-escalation training during onboarding. We could separate required vs preferred but we can just list all as qualifications. Benefits: list: - Medical and Prescription insurance – Choice of two health plans and networks - Dental and Vision – Free coverage for team members. - Paid Time Off (PTO) and Holidays - Medical, Bereavement, Educational, & Personal Leaves - Parental leave (birth & adoption) paid – 6 weeks - 403b Retirement Plan – pre-tax & Roth options; employer match after 1 year - Student Loan Refinancing Program - Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program – CI qualifies as non-profit - Education Assistance/Tuition Reimbursement - Professional Development/CEU’s - Life and Short- & Long-Term Disability insurance - Credit Union - Team Member Recognition Events - Referral bonus - CPR – employer paid - Travel mileage reimbursement at federal rate Schedule: "Full-time; variable hours including evenings and occasional weekends. Community events as needed." Location: "1405 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15217" and Work Setting: "Onsite – Clinic-based". Could include location in a paragraph maybe under About the role? But we should preserve all substantive information. We can include location and work setting in a

    under About the role or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for location; we could just include it in a paragraph. We must not include boilerplate: EEO statements, equal opportunity, etc. Remove those at end. Now construct HTML. We'll have:

    About the role

    ... combine About The Team and About The Position plus location and work setting?

    Maybe better: About the role includes description of role and team. Then location and work setting could be separate

    after that? But we need to preserve all info; we can put them in same

    or separate

    . It's okay. Then

    Responsibilities

    with
    • ... each responsibility. Then

      Qualifications

      with
      • ... each qualification. Then

        Benefits

        with
        • ... each benefit. Then

          Schedule

          with

          ... schedule info. We should not include Pay section. Check for any filler: none. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Now ensure we don't include duplicated lines. We'll avoid duplication. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: "The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh provides comprehensive and holistic services for children with autism and related disorders between the ages of 18 months to 21 years old. We offer a range of programs, including both individual and group therapy to best meet the needs of each child. We provide individual and group ABA services in a clinical setting. Parent training is a key part of our program and can occur in person in the clinic or via telehealth.

Position is located at 1405 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, onsite – clinic-based." That seems comprehensive. Now Responsibilities list: we have multiple sentences each starting with a verb. We'll split each as separate

        • . List: - Conduct advanced, trauma-informed, culturally responsive functional behavioral assessments, functional analyses, and other evidence-based evaluations for clients with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and complex behavioral or safety needs. - Develop, implement, monitor, and revise individualized ABA treatment plans aligned with assessment results, family priorities, clinical best practices, payer requirements, and IBHS regulations. - Design and oversee ABA interventions using evidence-based approaches such as discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, verbal behavior, precision teaching, and other developmentally appropriate strategies. - Maintain complete, timely, and audit-ready documentation across assessments, treatment plans, progress reports, supervision notes, discharge planning, and electronic health record entries. - Review and synthesize behavioral data to track client outcomes, guide treatment revisions, and inform supervision and clinical decision-making.
