Mental Health Program Assistant
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Job ID etc.
We need to preserve substantive info: Working Title, Agency, Location, Telework Eligible, Full/Part Time, Regular/Temporary, Who May Apply, Date Posted, Closing Date, Work Shift/Hours, Days of Work, Travel Required, Salary Range, Classified Status, Bargaining Unit, Work Area, FLSA Status, Designated in Connect 700 Program, etc. But we need to format into sections.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (description), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe abilities), Benefits (benefits listed), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work shift/hours, days, travel). Also maybe "About the agency" but not required.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add for Mental Health Program Assistant.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, equal opportunity, veteran-friendly, etc. Also remove "How To Apply", "Contact", "About Direct Care And Treatment" maybe considered boilerplate? It's somewhat descriptive of agency; but could be considered part of "About the role"? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Direct Care And Treatment" is not exactly legal/EEO; it's description of agency. Might be okay to keep as part of "About the role" or separate section? But we should keep substantive info about agency? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that description but maybe incorporate into "About the role" or a separate "About the agency". However we only have headings list; we could add "About the agency" but not in list. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to those. So we could add "About the agency" if needed. But better to incorporate into "About the role". The role description includes: "Direct Care & Treatment (DCT) is unable to provide sponsorship...". That's substantive. Also "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." etc. That's also substantive. So we can put that in About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties: provide direct patient care, assist with ADLs, ensure patient needs met, facilitate group programming, participate in multidisciplinary team, complete other duties as assigned, develop positive rapport, structured play time, maintain safe environment, take lead role in providing support and mentoring to peers on incorporating Evidence Based Practices into daily work.

Preferred Qualifications: Patient care experience within mental health/behavioral health setting; Experience working with children and adolescents in a treatment setting.
Additional Requirements: resume details, reference/background checks, TB documentation, etc. Those are also requirements but maybe we can include under Requirements or a separate "Additional Requirements". But we can incorporate into Requirements as additional notes.
Skills: maybe the abilities list could be considered Skills. But we already have Requirements covering knowledge and abilities. Could split: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Skills = abilities? But we can keep Requirements covering both knowledge and ability. Skills maybe not needed.
Benefits: list of benefits: Paid vacation and sick leave, 12 paid holidays each year, Low-cost medical, dental, vision, prescription drug plans, Fertility care including IVF, Diabetes care, Dental and orthodontic care for adults and children, 6 weeks paid leave for parents of newborn or newly adopted children, Pension plan, Employer paid life insurance, Short-term and long-term disability insurance, Tax-free expense accounts for health, dental, dependent care, Resources that provide support and promote physical, emotional, social, financial well-being, Support to help reach career goals: Training, classes, professional development, Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Daily Living/Convenience Services: Chore services, home repair, trip planning, child/elder care, Programs, resources and benefits eligibility varies based on type of employment... That's a lot. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can list them as - .

Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Rotating Shift / 6:45am-3:15pm; 2:45pm-11:15pm; Days of Work: Varies and every other weekend; may include holidays; Travel Required: Yes; less than 5% for off-site meetings and to transport clients according to their treatment plans.

We could include some of these in a "Job Details" section but not in headings list. However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could incorporate into "About the role" or a separate "Job Information". Since headings list is not strict, we can add a heading like "Job Details". But instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those headings and put other info within those sections as appropriate.
We can put location, telework, full/part time, etc. under "About the role" as prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
