Mental Health Professional II - JDC
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Responsibilities (duties), Minimum and Additional Requirements (requirements), Preferred Qualifications (qualifications/skills?), Additional Comments (benefits, application instructions etc). There's no explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create those sections. Also we need to remove boilerplate: application instructions, EEO, etc. We need to preserve substantive info: mission, job purpose, duties, requirements, preferred qualifications, benefits (list). Also maybe "About the role" could be derived from mission and job purpose? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. So we can have:
About the role
with mission and job purpose paragraphs.
Responsibilities
with list of duties (the bullet list from Job Duties). Use - .
Requirements
with minimum and additional requirements (maybe combine). Use - .
Qualifications
with preferred qualifications (maybe also skills). Use - .
Benefits
with list of benefits from Additional Comments.
We should not include Skills separate if covered in Qualifications. Could combine but instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. That's five sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must not include application instructions etc. So we strip out lines about applications incomplete, background investigation, etc. Those are boilerplate? They are substantive? They are about application process; instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop those lines. Also drop EEO etc (not present). Also drop "Sign-On Bonus" maybe considered benefit? It's a benefit but it's about sign-on bonus; could include in Benefits? It's specific content. However it's about agencies may give sign-on bonuses; it's not a guaranteed benefit. Might be considered boilerplate? It's somewhat specific but maybe we keep as part of Benefits? The instruction: include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Sign-on bonus is mentioned but it's conditional. Might still be considered specific content. I'd include it in Benefits as a bullet.
We also need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like mission statement, job purpose, duties list exactly as given (but we can rephrase? Must preserve all substantive information; we can keep the same sentences but maybe we can keep them as is. We should not omit any duty. We need to include all duties from Job Duties paragraph. That paragraph is long with many sentences; we need to convert each duty into list items. Must ensure we capture each duty.
Let's parse duties:
"Meets with youth within 24 hours of their detainment and completes the required admission documentation, which is to be uploaded in Medicat in a timely manner."
"Ensures the youth’s understanding of the detainment process."
"Reviews court orders and ensures court mandates are implemented."
"Disseminates information regarding the youth to JDC staff, as needed and appropriate."
"Upon youth’s arrival, uploads information in the Securus Nextgen phone system for the youth to utilize the unit phone to maintain contact with family and supportive individuals as identified in JJMS."
"Updates the youth’s minutes based on the Legacy level system."
"Coordinates amongst departments to ensure that youth on Contribute Honors status receive earned monthly in-person contacts with family." Actually text: "Coordinates amongst departments to ensure that youth on Contribute Honors status receive earned monthly in-person contacts with family."
"Provides clinical services, to include brief/short-term solution focused counseling and engagement, psychoeducational individual and/or group services, and case management to ensure the emotional stability of the youth throughout the detainment process and documents all services in Medicat."
"Serves as the chief advocate for the youth and assists professionally with family/individual/legal needs."
"When needed, completes risk assessments and immediately informs staff (verbally and in writing) if mental health precautions are warranted."
"Per policy, ensures that all required documentation regarding the youth is uploaded in Medicat and/or JJMS."
"Completes clinical isolation check-ins with isolated youths, as well as participates in the IMDT meetings (as needed) and submits required documentation (notes and isolation forms) in JJMS and the JDC Youth Isolation email thread."
"Attends and participates in scheduled interagency staffings, as well as internal staff meetings (i.e., housing and MDT), and consults with other agencies/disciplines as directed or needed."
"Attends weekly community meetings in assigned unit(s)."
"Submits psychiatric referrals and/or sick call requests forms, as needed."
"Completes all documentation required regarding PREA allegations."
"Provides on-call services for JDC on a rotating basis and completes and disseminates the required documentation (i.e., Suicide Risk Assessment, Daily Suicide Risk Assessment, Suicide Precautions Observation Documentation, and Youth Safety Plan), within the required time mandates, as well as uploads documents in Medicat and provides relevant information in the Mental Health MDT chat."
"If needed, on the weekends and/or the holidays will provide on-call assistance to the MEDC on-call clinician."
"Completes any other related job duties as assigned by supervisor(s)."
We need to keep each as list item.
Now Minimum and Additional Requirements:
"STATE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: A master's degree in guidance, counseling, the social sciences or a related field, and professional experience in mental health, human services or social services program."
"Additional Requirements Requires thorough knowledge of clinical/counseling, addiction, and social work principles/practices/techniques, personality principles, group dynamics, and diagnostic and suicide assessment. Knowledge of laws/regulations pertaining to clinical/counseling, addiction, and social service programs, psychological disorders, and adolescent development. Ability to integrate/coordinate specialized services with those of other disciplines, treatment planning, individual, and group therapy services, and risk assessment. Must have excellent written and oral communication skills. Must be able to communicate effectively and professionally with youth, staff, and other entities. Ability to engage youth and families from varied backgrounds, lived experiences, and cultural perspectives. Ability to identify need for technical assistance/consultation and develop resources to meet those needs. This position performs job duties relating to the custody, control, transportation, or recapture of youth within the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice and the employee may have direct and indirect contact with youth within the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice. Training applicable to these duties will be provided. MHP-II's participate in a rotating on-call schedule which may require coming to the facility after business hours and/or during holidays. This position requires flexibility, advanced stress-management/self-regulation skills, ability to problem-solve and manage unexpected crises, ability to work independently, and familiarity with working with high-risk, youthful offender populations. In addition, this individual must be capable of effectively handling a large work output. Agency policies and procedures will be provided."
We need to preserve all that. Could break into list items for each requirement? Might be long but we can keep as paragraphs? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for requirements we should use list. We can split each sentence into list items. But we must preserve all substantive information; splitting into list items is okay as long as we don't lose info. We'll create
- for each distinct requirement.
Similarly for Preferred Qualifications:
"PREFERRED AGENCY REQUIREMENTS: A master’s degree in counseling, counseling psychology, applied psychology, or social work with at least one year of direct clinical experience; state licensure as an LMSW or LISW-CP by SCBSWE; LPC-A; LPC; or LMFT."
We can list each.
Benefits: from Additional Comments:
"The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice offers an exceptional benefits package for FTE positions that includes: Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Health, dental, and life insurance 15 days annual (vacation) leave per year 15 days of sick leave per year 13 paid holidays State retirement plans and deferred compensation programs Discount Programs such as TicketatWork and WeSave"
Also maybe Sign-On Bonus line: "Sign-On Bonus: Agencies may give sign-on bonuses to individuals recruited to critical needs jobs at the beginning of their employment with the agency. Bonuses cannot be offered or given to employees moving from other agencies by transfer, promotion or demotion. Sign-on bonuses are limited to one per employee, per year."
We could include that as benefit but it's conditional. Might still include.
We need to exclude application instructions etc. So we will not include paragraphs about incomplete applications, transcripts, background investigation, medical exam, drug testing, gaps in employment, resume, etc.
Now About the role: we can combine Mission and Job Purpose into prose paragraphs.
Mission: "It is the mission of the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) to impact and transform young lives, strengthen families, and support safer communities through targeted prevention and rehabilitation."
Job Purpose: "Under general supervision, provides clinical and case management services and support to youth assigned to the detention center.

We can put these in
