We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content from posting. Let's parse the posting: Title: JOIN OUR TEAM AS A MENTAL HEALTH TECHNICIAN (MHT)! Per Diem Your Work Matters How will you make a difference?

Here you will be a crucial member of our dynamic and compassionate healthcare team, where your dedication as a Mental Health Technician (MHT) will positively impact the overall treatment experience for our diverse patient population.

Then "Your Experience Matters What We’re Looking For Education: High School Degree or equivalent preferred; or Certified Nursing Assistant preferred; Degree from an accredited college or university in social work, recreational therapy or appropriate therapeutic discipline. Experience: One year of related experience, with a knowledge of psychiatric patient care techniques with understanding of mental illness, preferred. Additional Skill Requirements: May be required to work overtime and flexible hours." Then "Your Care Matters What We Provide For Our Team" list of benefits: - 401(k) + matching - Health insurance - 100% company-paid life insurance coverage up to 2x your annual salary - Vision insurance - Dental insurance - Short-term and long-term disability insurance - Paid time off - Paid holidays - Cafeteria on site - Employee engagement events - Employee assistance program - Employee recognition program - Free parking Then "What Sets Us Apart Career & training development opportunities Dynamic and inclusive work environment Engaged management team dedicated to your success A guiding mission and set of values that serve as both our northstar and yours, anchoring our collective purpose and aspirations" Then disclaimer about benefits. Then "Compensation This is a Per Diem role and the expected compensation range is $21.00 - $25.00 hourly. We’re eager to engage with all qualified candidates, and consideration will be provided to experience and skill level." Then "Join us as our Mental Health Technician (MHT)!

Individuals Maintaining Positive Attitude and Commitment To Service" Then EEO boilerplate etc which we must remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Could combine. Skills maybe additional skill requirements (overtime/flexible hours). Benefits list. Pay (compensation range). Schedule maybe not given (Per Diem indicates schedule but not explicit). We should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states schedule details. It says "Per Diem" but no schedule specifics; we might not include Schedule because not explicit. Benefits we have. Pay we have. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Mental Health Technician. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could be the introductory paragraphs describing role, impact, etc. That's prose. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: education and experience. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could combine but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements covering education/experience, and Skills covering additional skill requirements (overtime/flexible hours). Benefits separate. Pay separate. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Let's extract prose for About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to before the bullet list? Let's capture: "JOIN OUR TEAM AS A MENTAL HEALTH TECHNICIAN (MHT)! Per Diem Your Work Matters How will you make a difference? Are you an empathetic and dedicated professional seeking to positively impact the mental well-being of individuals? Your opportunity awaits at South Sound Behavioral Hospital! As a Mental Health Technician (MHT), you'll be an integral part of our treatment team, providing continuous care, supervision, and positive role modeling to patients across various age groups from preschool to geriatrics. Working under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll contribute to creating a therapeutic environment that fosters patient support and well-being. If you are passionate about mental health care and ready to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, join us! Here you will be a crucial member of our dynamic and compassionate healthcare team, where your dedication as a Mental Health Technician (MHT) will positively impact the overall treatment experience for our diverse patient population." That's a bit repetitive but we keep. Then Responsibilities list. Then Requirements: Education and Experience. Education: "High School Degree or equivalent preferred; or Certified Nursing Assistant preferred; Degree from an accredited college or university in social work, recreational therapy or appropriate therapeutic discipline." Experience: "One year of related experience, with a knowledge of psychiatric patient care techniques with understanding of mental illness, preferred." We could combine into a single Requirements section with both education and experience as prose or list? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have a list of requirements, we should use list. But we have two items: Education and Experience. Could make a list. Then Skills: "May be required to work overtime and flexible hours." That's a skill requirement. Benefits list as given. Pay: "This is a Per Diem role and the expected compensation range is $21.00 - $25.00 hourly." Also maybe mention consideration to experience and skill level but that's not specific numeric; we keep the range. We should not include Schedule. We must not include duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove the disclaimer about benefits? The disclaimer: "Disclaimer: Select benefits are available to full-time positions only. Benefits are subject to change at the discretion of South Sound Behavioral Hospital." That's boilerplate? It's about benefits but it's a disclaimer; maybe we should keep as part of Benefits? It's substantive about benefits eligibility. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This disclaimer is legal-ish but it's about benefits. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a disclaimer. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. This is a legal disclaimer about benefits. I'd remove it to be safe. Also remove the "What Sets Us Apart" section? That's prose about career development etc. Could be included under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the organization". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "What Sets Us Apart" could be part of About the role or maybe we could add a section like "About the organization" but not in allowed headings. So we should incorporate that content into About the role (since it's about the organization). The About the role section can include description of the hospital, mission, etc. So we can merge the later paragraphs about SSBH into About the role. Thus About the role will include the initial role description plus the later paragraph about SSBH (mission, facility, etc.) and the "What Sets Us Apart" bullet points (career & training development opportunities, dynamic inclusive work environment, engaged management team, guiding mission). We'll keep them as prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. Now produce HTML. Structure:

      About the role

      ... prose ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...
      • ...

      Requirements

      • Education: High School Degree or equivalent preferred; or Certified Nursing Assistant preferred; Degree from an accredited college or university in social work, recreational therapy or appropriate therapeutic discipline.
      • Experience: One year of related experience, with a knowledge of psychiatric patient care techniques with understanding of mental illness, preferred.

      Skills

      May be required to work overtime and flexible hours.

      Benefits

      • 401(k) + matching
      • Health insurance
      • 100% company-paid life insurance coverage up to 2x your annual salary
      • Vision insurance
      • Dental insurance
      • Short-term and long-term disability insurance
      • Paid time off
      • Paid holidays
      • Cafeteria on site
      • Employee engagement events
      • Employee assistance program
      • Employee recognition program
      • Free parking

      Pay

      This is a Per Diem role and the expected compensation range is $21.00 - $25.00 hourly.

      We should not include Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not included the EEO boilerplate. Check for any content we omitted: The "Your Experience Matters" heading we turned into Requirements. The "Your Care Matters" heading we turned into Benefits. The "What Sets Us Apart" we incorporated into About the role. The disclaimer removed. The "Compensation" we turned into Pay. The "Join us as our Mental Health Technician (MHT)!" is a call to action; maybe we should include that in
