Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to parse the job posting.

Mental Health Aide

. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, union, etc. Also remove "This position description is not intended to be an all-inclusive list..." maybe that's boilerplate but it's part of responsibilities intro; we could keep it? It's a generic disclaimer; maybe remove as boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The line "This position description is not intended to be an all-inclusive list..." is a legal disclaimer; likely considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Cascadia is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "If you need assistance or accommodation due to a disability, contact us at ..." etc. Also remove "This position is represented by a labor union." etc. Also remove "Employees are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses..." etc. Also remove "Candidates are encouraged to familiarize themselves..." etc. Also remove "Benefits We offer generous benefits..." we keep that as Benefits section. Also remove "Starting Rate Range in USD ($) $21.90 - $22.56" maybe part of Pay. We need to preserve all substantive information: location, schedule, position, mission/vision, program description, position summary, responsibilities, qualifications (education, certification), experience, specialized skills, working conditions (environmental, operating hours, additional compensation differentials, physical/mental demands), benefits, pay. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like numbers, names. We'll structure:

About the role

Location: Portland House, a residential treatment facility in Gladstone, OR. Position: Mental Health Aide I or II, Clackamas Co. Licensed Residential program. Mission: Cascadia Health delivers whole health care – integrated mental health and addiction services, primary care, and housing – to promote hope and support the well-being of the communities we serve. Vision: We envision a community where everyone benefits from whole health care, experiences well-being, and has a self-directed, connected life. Program Description: Cascadia operates several licensed residential treatment homes for adults experiencing mental health challenges.

Position Summary: As a Mental Health Aide at Cascadia Health, you will play a vital role in supporting individuals with mental health challenges within our residential settings. Your responsibilities include assisting with daily living activities, implementing individualized care plans, and fostering a safe, supportive environment for our residents. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to promote recovery and enhance the overall well-being of those in your care. This position requires compassion, patience, and a commitment to providing high-quality, trauma-informed care.

That seems okay.

• Promote a strengths-based, client-centered approach to help residents achieve their goals and transition to a less restrictive setting.
• Provide individual and group-based therapeutic interventions as directed by the mental health treatment plan.

Requirements

Maybe combine Education and Experience? But we have Qualifications and Skills separate. Let's follow the instruction: Use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need Requirements, Qualifications, Skills separate. Thus:

Requirements

Education: Mental Health Aide I requires a high school diploma or equivalent. Mental Health Aide II requires a bachelor’s degree in an approved behavioral science field from an accredited college or university or three years of mental health work experience, and current certification compliant with MHACBO (Qualified Mental Health Associate).

Experience: Experience in a residential mental health setting and providing skills training services is preferred but not required.

But we also have Qualifications heading; maybe Qualifications includes certification details? However we already put certification in Requirements. Could shift certification to Qualifications. Let's think: Requirements could be education and experience; Qualifications could be certification and maybe other qualifications like CPR? But CPR is under Specialized Skills And Knowledge. Actually CPR Certification (training provided post-hire) is under Specialized Skills And Knowledge. So Qualifications could be education and maybe other qualifications like "Must meet the requirements and demonstrate the competencies to be credentialed as a Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA)". That's basically certification. Let's allocate: Requirements: Education and Experience. Qualifications: Certification (QMHA) and maybe other qualifications like "Must meet the requirements and demonstrate the competencies to be credentialed as a Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA). Required: Certification must be current and in compliance with MHACBO." Skills: Specialized Skills And Knowledge list. Let's do that.
