We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes duties description (responsibilities), minimum qualifications, additional comments (salary, geographic pay), NY HELPS details, background investigation requirements, equal opportunity boilerplate (to be removed). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out the equal opportunity paragraphs and any repeated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: duties, qualifications, salary, geographic pay, NY HELPS program details, background investigation requirements (CBC, SCR, SEL). Also mention that starting salary is $114,444 and geographic pay $20,000. Also mention that staff have approved to receive geographic pay. Also mention that a starting salary rate increase is in effect. We need to decide sections: Could have

The instruction: only include section when posting has real specific content. There is mention of "DJJOY provides numerous clinical trainings with accompanying NYS Department of Education approved Continuing Education Units (CEU’s)." That's a benefit (training/CEU). Could put under Benefits. Also mention supervision: monthly state-wide psychology supervision, reports to Facility Assistant Director for Treatment, etc. That could be under Responsibilities or maybe under Requirements? It's part of role. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

We could put these under a section "Background Check" but the allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No explicit "Background Check". Could fold into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably under Requirements. We also have NY HELPS program details: maybe under About the role or Qualifications. Could be under About the role (description of program). But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide sections: -

    : brief description: The Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS), Division for Juvenile Justice and Opportunities for Youth (DJJOY) is seeking a licensed psychologist to work as a member of a multidisciplinary treatment team.

    We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. The equal opportunity paragraphs removed. Also we removed duplicated lines like "NY HELPS This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS)." We kept a concise version. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The phrase "All prospective employees will be investigated through a Criminal Background Check (CBC), which includes State and federal Criminal History Record Checks." We kept that as part of background check. We removed "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." We omitted that line; but is that substantive? It's part of background check requirements. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that detail. We omitted it inadvertently. We need to include that line. Also we omitted "Each case will be determined on its own merits, consistent with the applicable provisions of State and federal laws, rules, and regulations." Also need to keep. We also omitted "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." We have fingerprinting line but omitted the fee part; we included "applicants may be required to pay associated fees." That's okay. We omitted "All prospective employees will be screened against the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR)." We
