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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have wage range: "Wage 39,100.00-$46,000.00 annually". So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: we have info about irregular hours, evenings, holidays, weekends, on-site, full-time attendance, remote/hybrid not available, ad hoc telework possible. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: not explicitly listed; there is mention of TB test, Hepatitis immunization, vaccine-preventable diseases proof, background checks, physical demands, work environment. Those are not benefits. No explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement, etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not. So omit Benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also "Physical Demands" and "Work Environment" but those are not in the list of allowed headings; we could incorporate them into Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those specific section names; we should not create other headings. So we must fit content under allowed headings. Could put physical demands and work environment under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements (since they are job requirements). Or we could create a separate section but not allowed headings; better to incorporate into Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract: About the role: first paragraph: "As an Unaccompanied Children (UC) Transitional Foster Care (TFC) Licensing Specialist, this position is primarily responsible for assessing and licensing foster home applicants and maintaining those homes for the placement of foster children. Trains, prepares, and supports foster parents. Responsible for coordinating with foster care program staff during the placement of foster children referred to refugee and immigrant services TFC program. This position is expected to function effectively with moderate supervision while following the guidelines given on procedures, along with agency, federal, and state regulatory requirements.

If you’ve got what it takes to support us in our mission to provide help and create hope through innovative, collaborative, and diverse programs within the community, then we’ve got the right opportunity for you." That's more motivational; could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we can include in About the role. Also description of Catholic Charities West Michigan: that's about the organization; could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we don't have a heading for Organization. Could include under About the role as well. Responsibilities: list of duties: many bullet-like sentences: "Participates in recruitment and retention activities.Attends and coordinates foster parent events.Orients prospective foster families through individual and group processes.Trains Pressley Ridge and/or PRIDE and provides other training to foster parents.Licenses all TFC foster parents according to the Office of Refugee Reinstatement (ORR) and state requirements.Certifies and maintains foster homes in accordance with the policies and procedures.Maintains accurate and current information on foster children in care, while ensuring ORR and Catholic Charities West Michigan (CCWM's) internal documentation practices and reporting requirements are met.Attends, facilitates, and assists with providing on-going education and support services to foster parents.Assesses unlicensed relatives as needed.Participates in on-call placements, day-in, and emergency services.Attends supervision and staff meetings.Provides child-facing services on-site.Assists in transporting clients when needed.Drives for Agency business.Performs other special assignments at supervisor’s request."

Professional Certificates, Licenses, and Registrations: "None Required." Supervisory Responsibilities: "This position does not have supervisory responsibilities." Mission, Vision, Values: maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal but still organizational description. Might keep as part of About the role. We must not include EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate: there is a line: "CCWM is an equal opportunity employer, subject to all federal and state laws as applicable to a religious Agency." That's EEO; remove. Also remove duplicated lines. Now craft HTML. We'll have sections:
