We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content: POSITION SUMMARY: The Tutor/Literacy Specialist supports students... Provide engaging, individualized, small-group literacy instruction. This position is responsible for helping students strengthen reading, writing, comprehension, and foundational literacy skills while fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. The Literacy Specialist works collaboratively with program staff to support students' academic success and confidence. Essential Functions list: Provide individualized and small-group literacy tutoring to students in grades served by the program. Assess students' literacy strengths and areas for growth and adapt instruction to meet individual learning needs. Plan and implement engaging, age-appropriate reading and writing activities. Support homework completion with an emphasis on literacy skills. Foster a positive, inclusive, and encouraging learning environment. Track student progress and communicate observations with program leadership. Collaborate with afterschool staff to integrate literacy enrichment into program activities. Maintain accurate attendance and tutoring records. Ensure a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants. Participate in staff meetings and professional development as requested. Schedule: Part-time; 2–3 afternoons per week during the school year. Program Hours: 2:30 – 6:00pm, Tutor time would start at 3pm (1-2 hour session) Our Culture: description of mission and values (maybe not needed as separate section? Could be About the role? Might be considered culture but not required. We can include as About the role maybe. YMCA PART-TIME BENEFITS OVERVIEW: list: Complimentary YMCA Membership, Flexible Scheduling, Professional Development, Retirement Benefits, Employee Resource Groups. YMCA COMPETENCIES (Leader): list of competencies (Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth). Could be considered Skills? Might be separate but we can include under Skills or Requirements? The instruction: Use sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. About the role: could be position summary + culture. Responsibilities: essential functions list. Requirements: maybe physical requirements? Or safety requirements? Actually "Requirements" section could include physical requirements, safety requirements, etc. But we also have Qualifications separate. Qualifications: list of qualifications (Bachelor's degree preferred, experience tutoring, knowledge of evidence-based reading instruction, strong communication, ability to build relationships, reliable, CPR/First Aid preferred, background check required). Also Experience: Reading Specialist certification or literacy intervention experience, experience working in afterschool programs, familiarity with state literacy standards, experience with diverse learners and ELL. Skills: maybe the competencies list (Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth). Also maybe communication/interpersonal skills already in qualifications but could be skills. Benefits: list from YMCA PART-TIME BENEFITS OVERVIEW. Pay: Pay Rate: $20.00 $25.00 / Hour (note formatting weird: "$20.00 $25.00 / Hour" likely means $20-$25 per hour). We'll include as "$20.00 - $25.00 per hour". Schedule: Part-time; 2–3 afternoons per week during the school year. Program Hours: 2:30 – 6:00pm, Tutor time would start at 3pm (1-2 hour session). We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Reasonable Accommodation Statement"? That's legal/EEO; we should remove. Also remove "FLSA Status: Non - Exempt Job Type: Part Time". That's metadata maybe minor; we could fold into short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short p for FLSA status and Job Type maybe but not as heading. However we already have Schedule and Pay sections; we could include a brief p for FLSA status and Job Type maybe under About the role? But better to drop as minor metadata. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short p at top maybe: "

FLSA Status: Non‑Exempt | Job Type: Part‑Time

" but not as heading. However we already have Schedule and Pay sections; we could keep that p. But we must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have heading for "LITERACY SPECIALIST". Good. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

About the role

... position summary + culture ...

Responsibilities

  • ... each essential function ...

Requirements

  • Physical Requirements: Ability to actively engage with students in classroom and recreational settings.
  • Safety Requirements: CPR & First Aid – must be able to complete and maintain certification; able to assist individuals in need until professional help arrives.
  • Emergency Response – Ability to quickly identify emergency situations (medical, fire, environmental, etc.) and respond appropriately following established procedures.

  • Physical Readiness – Must be able to perform physical tasks related to safety, including assisting individuals of various ages and physical abilities.

But maybe we should separate safety requirements as part of Requirements. Could also include "Background check required." That is a requirement. Also "CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain) preferred." That's also a qualification. Might be overlapping. We need to decide where to put each piece. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree preferred, experience tutoring, knowledge of evidence-based reading instruction, strong communication/interpersonal skills, ability to build positive relationships, reliable/organized/committed, CPR/First Aid preferred, background check required. Experience: Reading Specialist certification or literacy intervention experience, experience working in afterschool programs or nonprofit youth organizations, familiarity with state literacy standards and evidence-based instructional practices, experience working with diverse learners and English language learners. Skills: Could be the YMCA Competencies list: Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth (each with sub-bullets). Could also include communication/interpersonal skills but already in qualifications. We need to avoid duplication. Let's map: Qualifications section: formal education, experience, certifications. Skills section: competencies (maybe as list). Could also include "Strong communication and interpersonal skills" but that's already in qualifications; we could keep it there. Better: Qualifications: education, experience, certifications, background check. Skills: the YMCA competencies (Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth) each with bullet points. But we also have "Physical Requirements" and "Safety Requirements" maybe under Requirements. Let's decide: - About the role: position summary + culture paragraph. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: physical requirements, safety requirements, background check (maybe), CPR/First Aid? Actually CPR/First Aid is a qualification/preferred. Could be in Qualifications. - Qualifications: education, experience, certifications, background check, CPR/First Aid preferred. - Skills: YMCA competencies. - Benefits: list. - Pay: pay rate. - Schedule: schedule info. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Reasonable Accommodation Statement", "Equal Opportunity Employer", "The YMCA of Southeastern NC does not discriminate..." etc. Remove those. Also remove "Revision Date: 9/9/26". That's minor metadata; could be folded into short p or drop. We'll drop. Now produce HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "The Tutor/Literacy Specialist supports students participating in our afterschool program by providing engaging, individualized, and small-group literacy instruction. This position is responsible for helping students strengthen reading, writing, comprehension, and foundational literacy skills while fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment.
