Licensed Psychologist (NY HELPS)

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes duties description, minimum qualifications, additional comments (telecommuting, salary, geographic pay, etc.), background investigation requirements, EEO boilerplate (to remove). We need to extract substantive info. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info: duties description (the long paragraph about responsibilities). Minimum qualifications (transfer, open to public, NY HELPS, license requirement). Additional comments: telecommuting availability, starting salary $121,413, geographic pay $20,000, preference for experience with adolescents with developmental/intellectual disabilities, NY HELPS non-competitive appointment details, conversion to competitive status after one year, promotion exam eligibility. Background investigation requirements: CBC, fingerprinting, fees, SCR, SEL, etc. Also maybe "Benefits" not mentioned explicitly; but we have salary and geographic pay (Pay). No explicit benefits, schedule, etc. So we can have sections: Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Pay (salary + geographic pay), Additional Info (telecommuting, NY HELPS details), Background Check (investigation). Could also have Qualifications but we already have Requirements. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which are appropriate. We have Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, maybe Additional Info not in list but we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Could also have "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications. But we need to avoid filler. Let's map: - Responsibilities: duties description. - Requirements: minimum qualifications (license, NY HELPS, transfer, etc.) - Pay: starting salary and geographic pay. - Additional Info: telecommuting, NY HELPS appointment details, conversion, promotion exam eligibility. Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we already used Requirements for minimum qualifications. Could add a section "Qualifications" for preferred experience (adolescents with developmental/intellectual disabilities). But that's also a qualification. Might be better to have "Qualifications" for preferred experience, and "Requirements" for minimum qualifications. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine minimum qualifications and preferred experience into one "Requirements" section. Then we have Pay, Responsibilities, Background Investigation (maybe as "Requirements"? but it's separate). Could have "Background Check" as a section but not in list; but we could put under "Requirements" as well. However the instruction says use headings from the list; but we can also use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. So we can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay. Possibly also "Benefits" if any benefits mentioned; none. "Schedule" none. "About the role" maybe we could use for a brief overview, but we already have responsibilities. Could use "About the role" for a summary of role, but we have duties description that covers that. Might be redundant. Better to use Responsibilities for duties, Requirements for qualifications (including license, NY HELPS, transfer, preferred experience), Pay for salary and geographic pay. Background investigation could be part of Requirements (as it's a requirement for appointment). So we can include that under Requirements. Thus output:

Pay

Starting salary for Licensed Psychologists is $121,413, with an approved geographic pay supplement of $20,000.

We need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed that. Check for any duplicated lines: we condensed. Make sure we didn't invent or summarize away detail: we preserved all substantive info: duties description (we kept the essence but we paraphrased? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Paraphrasing might be considered summarizing? It says do NOT summarize away detail. We need to keep the detail, not omit. We can keep the original sentences but maybe we can keep them as is within

. Better to copy the duties description exactly as given (maybe trimmed of extra spaces). Let's extract the duties description from the posting: "Duties Description The Licensed Psychologist reports to the CMSO Regional Supervisor and BBHS Chief of Treatment Services and provides clinical case management services to youth and their families or caregivers. The CMSO clinician plays a critical role as a member of the youth’s support team. As such, the clinician works to assist the team in understanding youth holistically; conceptualizing those behaviors directly related to the youth’s placement in the context of familial, community, cultural and developmental experiences. The clinician continually assesses and draws upon the strengths and assets of youth and their caregivers to facilitate insight, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and spiritual growth/wellness. Serve as an active member of a multidisciplinary team; attend meetings, present clinical information and observations, provide consultation and assistance to staff in other disciplines; coordinate the care and treatment planning of individuals served by the team. While the CMSO Clinician primarily engages in clinical case management, the practitioner might be called on to conduct clinical assessments using standardized instruments and evaluation protocols; develop person-centered and goal-oriented treatment plans. Where indicated, recommend a higher level of care and complete referrals for specialized services. While the CMSO Clinician primarily engages in Clinical case management, the practitioner might be called on to provide direct mental health counseling and psychotherapy to individuals and families, including using tele-health technologies. Conduct risk assessments and provide crisis intervention when indicated. Document and maintain youth records, including contact notes, treatment plans, assessments, clinical recommendations, and collateral contacts, in accordance with state regulations and DJJOY policies. Collaborate with other clinical and community staff to develop and support discharge and aftercare service plans. The CMSO clinician might be called upon to assist facility clinicians with identifying community providers and scheduling appointments for continuity of care services for youth coming out of OCFS facilities." We need to keep that as is. We'll put inside

. Ensure we don't include the heading "Duties Description" as separate heading; we can start paragraph directly. Now for Requirements: we need to include all details from Minimum Qualifications, Additional Comments, Background Investigation Requirements, etc. Let's extract them precisely. Minimum Qualifications section: "Minimum Qualifications Transfer: One year of permanent competitive or 55b/c service in this title or in a title eligible for 70.1 transfer. Open to the Public: This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).* To be considered for appointment through NY HELPS, candidates must meet the open-competitive minimum qualifications for this position. The minimum qualifications for this position are: Licensed and currently registered to practice psychology in New York State. Must maintain a valid New York State license and registration." Additional Comments: "Telecommuting is available for this position, however, it is at the sole discretion of the assigned supervisor and the Office of Community Partnerships when a candidate may be considered. Telecommuting applications will be reviewed and approved on a case by case basis in accordance with the OCFS Telecommuting Pilot Program Policy. A starting salary rate increase for staff hired into the Licensed Psychologist titles is in effect. The starting salary for Licensed Psychologists is now $121,413. Staff in these titles have also been approved to receive geographic pay of $20,000. An individual with experience and the necessary skill sets to provide crucial behavioral and mental health services to adolescents with developmental and intellectual disabilities is preferred. For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non- competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified." Background Investigation Requirements: "All prospective employees will be investigated through a Criminal Background Check (CBC), which includes State and federal Criminal History Record Checks. All convictions must be reported; conviction of a felony or misdemeanor, or any falsified or omitted information on the prospective appointee’s employment application, may bar appointment or result in removal after appointment. Each case will be determined on its own merits, consistent with the applicable provisions of State and federal laws, rules, and regulations. Prospective employees will be fingerprinted in order to obtain a record of their criminal history information, and may be required to pay any necessary fees. All prospective employees will be screened against the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR). Prospective employees will be required to pay any necessary fees. For Division of Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY) prospective appointees will be checked against the Staff Exclusion List (SEL) maintained by the Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs. Prospective employees whose names appear on the SEL as having been found responsible for serious or repeated acts of abuse or neglect will be barred from appointment and may have their names removed from the eligible list(s) for the title(s) if applicable." We need to include all that. We'll put in

• items, each representing a distinct requirement. Ensure we don't lose any detail.
