Lead Residential Counselor (Mental Health Services)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph: "Provides direct service in a GLE/SIE residential setting. Helps Persons Served (PS) in residence overcome barriers to, and prepare for, living independently. Implements PS Treatment Plan support interventions as coached and supported by Team LPHA Clinician. Assumes administrative officer roles in the program to support the Program Director in performance of their duties and responsibilities. Liaisons with families as needed. Supports PS in obtaining and understanding medical and psychiatric care as needed. Administers PS medications following Medication Administration Program (MAP) policies and procedures. Provides crisis interventions to PS when needed. Provides physical site maintenance. Ensures a safe, comfortable and clean environment." That's a description; could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Then there is a heading "Responsibilities" with a list of duties. Then "Knowledge And Skills" section with bullet-like sentences. Then "About Vinfen" paragraph. Then "Qualifications" with typical requirements. Then "Driving Requirements" (maybe part of Qualifications or separate). Could be part of Qualifications. Then "Physical Effort" (maybe part of Qualifications or Requirements). Might be "Requirements". Then "Additional Certifications Required". Then "Pay Range USD $24.00 - USD $24.00 /Hr." That's pay. No schedule or benefits mentioned. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, etc. Remove. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role (intro paragraph) - Responsibilities (list) - Knowledge and Skills (maybe as Skills) - Qualifications (including education, experience, driving requirements, physical effort, certifications) - Pay (pay range) We could also have "About Vinfen" as maybe "About the organization" but not required; but we could include as "About Vinfen" under maybe "About the organization". However the instruction says use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. "About Vinfen" could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Might be better to include as a separate
under About the role? But the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we can use those headings; we can also include "About Vinfen" as a paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate but not as heading? Safer to follow examples: we can include "About the role" for intro, "Responsibilities" for duties list, "Skills" for knowledge and skills, "Qualifications" for qualifications, experience, driving, physical effort, certifications, "Pay" for pay range.
We should not include Benefits or Schedule as they are not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to format lists with - .
We need to use
for prose.
Let's extract content.
