Valley Health · Winchester, VA · 1 mo ago
Healthcare$18.96–$25.59/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections using
for headings: 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. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about Valley Health: "As one of the nation's Top 15 Health Systems..." This is about the organization, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and organization. We can put that in
under About the role. - Then "Department WMC EmPATH Unit-206180 Worker Sub Type Regular Work Shift Third Shift (United States of America) Pay Range $18.96 - $25.59". This includes department, shift, pay range. Pay range is specific, so we need a Pay section. Schedule maybe from shift: Third Shift. So we can include Schedule section. - Then "Job Description Mental Health Associate collaborates..." This is description; we can put under About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role includes overview; Responsibilities list duties. - Then "Duties May Include, But Are Not Limited To" followed by a long list of duties. That's responsibilities. Use
- .
- Then "Assists Nurse in Providing and Coordinating Patient Care:" continues duties; still responsibilities.
- Then "Completes Leading Groups:" responsibilities.
- Then "Demonstrates Accountability, Personal and Professional Growth:" responsibilities.
- Then "Education Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Sociology, Social Science or related field preferred, or five years of experience in psychiatric care preferred". That's Qualifications/Education.
- Then "Experience Experience in a hospital setting preferred." That's also Qualifications/Experience.
- Then "Certification & Licensures BLS Certification (Basic Life Support) - American Heart ‘Healthcare Provider’ (HCP) - AHA approved required * New hires must have American Heart Association (AHA) appropriate certification prior to completion of orientation." That's Qualifications/Certifications.
- Then "Qualifications Successful completion of unit orientation checklist within six weeks of hire required. Understands basic principles of human growth and development required Record clear of sexual misconduct or abusive behavior toward others required. Competent to successfully interact with patients according to their special needs which may apply based on the age of the patient served required. Must be 18 years of age or older. FLSA Classification Non-exempt". That's also Qualifications.
- Then "Physical Demands 18 A Mental Health Associate, Counsellor, Therapist". Not sure; maybe ignore.
- Then "Benefits At Valley Health, we believe everyone is a caregiver..." This is benefits section.
Thus sections:
- About the role: include intro paragraph and maybe job description overview.
- Responsibilities: list duties (the big list). Could split into multiple
- but one is fine.
- Requirements: maybe combine Education, Experience, Certification & Licensures, and other qualifications (like orientation, etc.) Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have content for Requirements (education, experience, certifications). Also Qualifications (orientation completion, etc.) Might be overlapping. We could combine into Requirements section, or have both Requirements and Qualifications if distinct. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine all qualification-like content into a single "Requirements" section. Or we could have "Qualifications" for the education/experience/certifications and "Requirements" for the orientation etc. But risk of thin sections. Better to have one "Requirements" section covering all mandatory/preferred qualifications.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer skills like de-escalation techniques, communication, etc. But we should not invent. If no explicit skills list, we should not create Skills section.
- Benefits: we have content.
- Pay: we have pay range.
- Schedule: we have shift (Third Shift). So include Schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check each for real specific content.
About the role: we have intro paragraph about Valley Health and job description overview (first paragraph). That's specific.
Responsibilities: we have the long duties list.
Requirements: we have education, experience, certification, orientation, etc.
Benefits: we have paragraph.
Pay: we have pay range.
Schedule: we have Third Shift.
Now we need to format.
We must not include any boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can format into HTML.
We need to be careful to not lose any detail. For responsibilities, we need to capture the list items. The original list is long with many sentences; we need to break into
- items. The original text includes headings like "ASSISTS IN MAINTAINING THERAPEUTIC MILIEU:" then bullet-like sentences but not actual bullet markers. We need to convert each sentence or clause into list items. We must preserve all substantive information; we can split by sentences that start with a capital letter after a period? But we need to be careful not to lose meaning.
Simplify: we can keep the responsibilities as a single
with the text? But instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to make a list. We'll need to parse the duties into items.
Let's extract duties section:

We need to split into list items. Could treat each sentence as an item. However some sentences have multiple clauses separated by semicolons; we could keep them as one item.
We'll produce
- with each sentence ending in a period as
- . Ensure we keep the content. Let's copy the duties text and split manually. I'll create items: 1. Reports changes in physical/psychological status. 2. Identifies patient situations where restrains or seclusion are may be necessary; demonstrates correct application of wrist, vest and four-point leather restrains; in an actual or role playing situation demonstrates seclusion team member role. 3.
