Mental Health Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description with many details. We need to parse. We have "Description:" then content. There's no explicit sections like About the role, but we can infer sections: maybe "About the role" from general objective? Could treat "General Objective" as about the role. "Essential Functions" as responsibilities. "Secondary Functions" maybe also responsibilities. "Program Participation and Team Member" maybe responsibilities or qualifications? Could be part of responsibilities. "Job Qualifications" includes Education and Experience, Skills and Abilities, Working Conditions, Requirements (duplicate). So we can create sections: About the role (general objective), Responsibilities (essential functions + secondary functions + program participation), Qualifications (education and experience), Skills (skills and abilities), Working Conditions (maybe part of requirements). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all content from description except boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). There's no such boilerplate in given text. There's repeated essential functions block appears twice (once in description and again under Requirements). We should not duplicate content; we need to preserve all substantive information but avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't explicitly forbid duplication, but we should avoid repeating same content unnecessarily. However the duplicate is exactly same text; we could include once. Probably better to include once. We need to format using

for section headings,

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what is list vs prose. Many items are sentences separated by periods. Could treat each duty as list item. For readability, we can convert each sentence into

• . But we must preserve all info; using list is okay. We need to identify sections: - About the role: could be the GENERAL OBJECTIVE paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions + Secondary Functions + Program Participation and Team Member (maybe also Training). Could combine. - Qualifications: Education and Experience (including bullet-like list). Could be list. - Skills: Skills And Abilities (list). - Working Conditions: maybe part of Requirements but we can include as its own section? Not in allowed headings list but we could treat as part of Qualifications or Skills? The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule only; but we can also have other headings? The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive; we can use other headings if needed? It says use

  for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings; but we can also use "Working Conditions" as a heading if needed, but not in list. Safer to incorporate working conditions into Qualifications or Skills? Might be better to have a "Requirements" section for things like driver's license, background registry, CPR, etc. The allowed headings include Requirements. So we can put working conditions and other requirements under Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as they are not present. Now we need to extract content. Let's copy the description text and parse. Description: "GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To provide direct service and support to children and families through staff consultation and capacity building in the area of Mental Health. Support compliance in all facets of Federal Performance Standards and Oregon Pre-kindergarten regulations within the Mental Health component." That's about the role. Then "REPORTS TO: Health Services Manager SUPERVISES: No direct reports CLASSIFICATION: Exempt; Non-Represented PAY GRADE:" This is metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Probably drop or include as short paragraph. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with that info. Then "ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:" followed by a long list of duties (sentences). We'll treat as responsibilities. Then "SECONDARY FUNCTIONS:" more duties. Then "PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AND TEAM MEMBER:" more duties. Then "Training:" bullet. Then "JOB QUALIFICATIONS:" then "Education and Experience:" list. Then "Skills And Abilities:" list. Then "Working Conditions:" list. Then "Requirements:" repeated essential functions (duplicate). We'll ignore duplicate. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose any details. So we need to include all the duties from Essential Functions, Secondary Functions, Program Participation and Team Member, Training, Education and Experience, Skills And Abilities, Working Conditions. We must not include the duplicate essential functions under Requirements. Now format. We'll create:

  About the role

  Now Requirements (maybe for Working Conditions). But we already included driver's license, background registry, CPR under Skills. However those are more like requirements. Could move them to Requirements section. But we already used Skills for abilities; we could keep them there. The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put those under Requirements. But we already have Skills section for abilities. Might be okay to have both. We still have Working Conditions: "Frequent work with physically active infants, toddlers, and three to five-year old children Some bending, stooping, kneeling, and sitting on the floor Frequent computer use Frequent travel from center to center for site visits and staff consultation appointments". We'll put under Requirements or maybe a separate section but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into Requirements. Let's create a Requirements section for working conditions and any other remaining items not covered. We have not yet included: "Frequent work with physically active infants, toddlers, and three to five-year old children Some bending, stooping, kneeling, and sitting on the floor Frequent computer use Frequent travel from center to center for site visits and staff consultation appointments". Also maybe "Ability to possess and maintain a valid driver’s license..." etc we already put under Skills but could move to Requirements. To avoid duplication, we need to decide. Better: Keep
