We need to produce HTML fragment with headings for sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary ranges for trainee levels and full performance level. That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with those numbers. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "Employment with New York State offers unmatched benefits..." includes pension, medical etc. So Benefits section can be included. Schedule: posting says "Specific scheduled hours and telecommuting availability for this position will be discussed during the interview process." That's vague; not specific. It says not to create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. This is not specific; it's placeholder. So we should omit Schedule section. Also "About the role": we have description of duties and purpose. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes duties description (list of duties). That's responsibilities. Also qualifications (minimum qualifications). Also maybe "Skills" not explicitly listed; but we could infer from duties but we shouldn't invent. Better to not include Skills if no explicit list. Could include "Requirements" maybe same as qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with real content. Likely we will have: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties list), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Requirements could be same as Qualifications; but we can combine? Better to have Qualifications and maybe Requirements separate if there is distinct content. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications" section with details. That's qualifications. There's also "Additional Comments" about benefits etc. No separate "Requirements". So we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We'll not include Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
Now we need to format:
for sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.

So we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We'll not include Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
Now we need to format: About the role
then
prose summarizing the role? The instruction: Use
for prose. For list of duties/requirements/benefits use
- . So we need to extract duties list into
- . The duties description includes many sentences; we can break into list items each duty. Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as separate
- preserving the text. Must not lose any detail. Let's parse duties paragraph:
"The Mental Health Program Specialist I will work under the supervision of Mental Health Program Specialist 3 and the Mental Health Program Specialist 4 (Regional Lead). The Mental Health Program Specialist 1 will provide hospital coordination, guidance and technical assistance to Article 31 and Articles 28 mental health emergency departments, CPEPS, and inpatient units around patient transport, evaluation, treatment, disposition, admission, and discharge. In addition, incumbents will provide technical assistance to the community mental health system providers on the development and maintenance of high quality programming to help improve outcomes for individuals with complex needs served in these programs. Incumbents will support local community operations within the geographic regions assigned, and a majority of the work with be field based at various provider agencies. Specifically, under the close supervision of a higher-level Mental Health Program Specialist, incumbents may perform the following: Clarify standards of care for existing hospital activities/ protocols regarding psychiatric admission and discharge and modifying or establishing new policies/processes/ checklists as needed to create equity, systemic accountability, and standards for evaluation. Facilitate communication between various provider agencies. Assist in providing program and operational information. Assist higher level staff in providing guidance to hospital and community providers/programs, responding to provider inquires on service and programs, responding to provider inquires and requests for assistance. Assist higher level staff in providing technical assistance, case consultation and support to licensed or designated providers on complex cases. Support programs in identifying and navigating resources, providing assistance with systems navigation. Identify and report on systems barriers, challenges, and problem areas.

May identify or review programs for compliance issues, and communicate findings to the appropriate departments. Work with providers and other stakeholders, as well as coordinate efforts with other OMH divisions to address issues related to service delivery and implementation. Assist and support on specific special projects as assigned."
We need to keep all that. We'll create
- with each sentence as
- . Ensure we keep the content exactly. Might need to preserve punctuation.
Now About the role: we can give a brief prose summarizing the role: maybe first two sentences? But we must preserve all substantive information; we cannot omit details. However About the role is a section; we can put a prose summary that captures the role but we must not lose details; details will be in Responsibilities list. So About the role can be a short overview: "The Office of Mental Health (OMH) is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a Mental Health Program Specialist 1 (G18) as part of a new unit focused on improving care and care transitions for individuals with complex needs throughout the continuum of care (inpatient psychiatry, CPEP, and within the community)." That's from the posting. Keep that as prose.
Now Qualifications: we need to list the minimum qualifications details. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications Non-Competitive Minimum Qualifications Under the NY HELPS Program: ..." plus details about trainee levels, qualifying degree fields, transfer opportunity, 55b/c, PCO opportunity, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll put that as
- list items each distinct point. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We'll break into logical items: maybe each sentence as
- . Let's extract:
- Under the NY HELPS Program: This position includes an opportunity to serve in a traineeship and applicants will be appointed to the appropriate level based on their education and/or experience.

- Candidates with clinical background and/or prior hospital experience are preferred for these roles.
We also have "Additional Comments Employment with New York State offers unmatched benefits..." that's benefits.
Now Benefits: we need to list benefits as
- . The paragraph: "Employment with New York State offers unmatched benefits, individual support, and career mobility for motivated individuals including: NYS pension and retirement programs; annual cost of living and performance advance increases; comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans; flexible spending accounts for health and dependent care; paid time off, including thirteen paid holidays per year, and paid personal leave, vacation leave, and sick leave."

Pay: we have salary ranges for trainee levels and full performance level. Also note: "The starting salary for this position will vary based on the selected candidate’s education and/or experience. Candidates appointed at a trainee level will be required to successfully complete the traineeship to advance to the full performance level title and salary: $60,183 (Mental Health Program Specialist Trainee 1) $66,694 (Mental Health Program Specialist Trainee 2) $73,964 (Mental Health Program Specialist 1, full performance level) For current New York State employees, the starting salary is based on the candidate’s salary at the time of hire."
We'll put that as
- maybe each bullet.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. The posting includes lines like "OMH is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer." etc. Must remove.
Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Not present.
Now produce HTML fragment.
