Mental Health Employment Supported Specialist
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. From posting: We have description, job summary, key responsibilities, benefits, requirements, about COMHAR (maybe About the role? Actually "About COMHAR" is about organization, not role. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. We have: - Job Summary (maybe About the role). Could use "About the role" heading with job summary paragraph. - Key Responsibilities: list of duties. - Benefits: paragraph about benefits. - Requirements: educational requirements, driver's license, orientation, etc. - Qualifications: maybe "Qualifications" could include preferred qualifications (Associate's degree, experience, ACRE certification). Could combine with Requirements? But we need separate sections only if content. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; could infer from responsibilities? But we should not invent. If no explicit skills, we skip Skills section. - Pay: Rate $18.00/HR. - Schedule: Scheduled Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. - Also location: Full-Time | Available In the Philadelphia, PA 19124 Area. Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate meta but not required. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: Job Summary paragraph: "COMHAR is seeking a motivated and compassionate Mental Health Employment Supported Specialist to join our team. In this role, you will support individuals living with mental health challenges in finding, securing, and maintaining meaningful employment. By providing individualized coaching, job development, and ongoing support, you will play a key role in helping participants build confidence, independence, and long-term vocational success." Key Responsibilities: list items (many sentences). We need to convert each bullet into
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings exactly; we can also add others? Probably stick to those. So we need to fit all content under those headings.
Thus we need to place organization info somewhere; maybe under "About the role" we can include a brief about COMHAR as context. That's acceptable.
Let's craft:
