NOVA SOCIAL WORKER

We need to output HTML fragment with 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, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Applicants must be permanent in the Social Worker Civil Service Title. If hired provisionally, must take and pass civil service exam when available to be eligible for continued employment. - Description of DSS, HRA, DHS, DVS, etc. This is about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the department". We'll put "About the role" with description of DVS and NoVA program. - Responsibilities: list of duties for NoVA/PATH Social Workers: bullet points. - Requirements: maybe "Must be available to work weekends and holidays", "Hours/Schedule: 10-6 (Sunday through Thursday)", "Applicants must be permanent in the Social Worker Civil Service Title..." etc. - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: Master's Degree in Social Work from accredited school. License Requirements: LMSW or LCSW within one year, etc. Also Special Note about child abuse maltreatment report, 55a Program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency Requirement. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could infer counseling, crisis intervention, assessment, referrals, case management, advocacy, record keeping. However we should not invent. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section. So we should not create Skills section unless there is real specific content. There's no explicit skills list. So we omit Skills. - Benefits: Not mentioned except maybe Public Service Loan Forgiveness (that's a benefit). Also maybe 55a Program? That's a program for persons with disability. Could be considered benefit. But we need to see if posting actually states them. It mentions Public Service Loan Forgiveness as a prospective employee may be eligible. That's a benefit. Also maybe 55a Program is a program for persons with disability. Could be considered a benefit. We'll include Benefits section with those items. - Pay: Not mentioned. So omit Pay. - Schedule: Hours/Schedule: 10-6 (Sunday through Thursday) Must be available to work weekends and holidays. So we include Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes an "Additional Information" about equal opportunity etc. That's boilerplate; we must remove it. Also remove "APPLICANTS MUST BE PERMANENT..." etc? That's substantive, keep. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the civil service permanent requirement, provisional hiring note, etc. We need to format sections with

headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide what goes where. Let's outline:

  About the role

  ... description of DSS, HRA, DHS, DVS, NoVA program, etc.

  Responsibilities

  • Individual crisis intervention, short term trauma counseling and ongoing safety planning
  • Conduct screening and assessment to determine eligibility for DV shelter placement
  • Provide on-site counseling services to clients
  • Formulate an evaluation and treatment
  • Assess service needs and provide individual counseling services to clients
  • Make appropriate referrals to social/other services as needed
  • Follow-up to ensure receipt of services
  • Participate in case conferences and providing DV consultation for DHS social worker staff
  • Participation in training for DHS staff on domestic violence and related issues
  • Assist with domestic violence shelter placement when appropriate
  • Provide advocacy services, as required
  • Maintain case records for each client with required information
  • Maintain statistical and written records, as required
  • Provide services in centrally based or out‑stations HRA and DHS facilities
  Note: Some bullet points may be redundant; we keep as given.

  Requirements

  • Applicants must be permanent in the Social Worker Civil Service Title
  • If hired provisionally, must take and pass the civil service exam when it becomes available to be eligible for continued employment
  • Must be available to work weekends and holidays
  But schedule also includes hours; maybe schedule separate.

  Qualifications

  • Master's Degree in Social Work from an accredited school of social work
  • Valid Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) license issued by the New York State Department of Education within one year of appointment (must be presented at appointment or when obtained); must be maintained for duration of employment
  • Failure to obtain license within one year extends probationary period six months; failure to obtain by end of 18 months results in termination
  • Special Note: Section 424‑a of NY Social Services Law requires inquiry about child abuse/maltreatment report; agency may assign to position with no child‑care responsibilities
  • 55‑a Program: open to qualified persons with a disability eligible for the 55‑a Program; indicate interest on resume/cover letter
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness: prospective employees may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness and state repayment assistance programs
  • Residency Requirement: NYC residency generally required within 90 days of appointment; after 2 continuous years may be eligible to reside in Nassau, Suffolk, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, or Orange County
  We could also include "Minimum Qualifications" as part of Qualifications.

  Benefits

  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility
  • Eligibility for the 55‑a Program for qualified persons with a disability
  But note we already listed those in Qualifications; maybe better to keep them only once. However we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in the original? The original mentions them in separate sections; we could keep them under Qualifications and Benefits. But we might be duplicating. It's not prohibited to duplicate, but we should aim to avoid redundancy? Not explicitly forbidden. However "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Duplication may create thin sections. Better to keep each piece once. So we could put the license, degree, etc under Qualifications; the 55a and loan forgiveness under Benefits; residency maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? It's a requirement. We'll put residency under Requirements. Let's decide: - About the role: description of DVS, NoVA, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: civil service permanent/provisional, weekend/holiday availability, residency requirement. - Qualifications: degree, license requirements, special note about child abuse, etc. - Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness, 55-a Program. - Schedule: hours 10-6 Sunday-Thursday, weekend/holiday availability (but we already have weekend/holiday in Requirements; maybe we move schedule to Schedule section and keep weekend/holiday there). Actually schedule includes hours and weekend/holiday availability. So we can put schedule there and remove from Requirements. Thus: Requirements: civil service permanent/provisional. Schedule: hours/Schedule: 10-6 (Sunday through Thursday) Must be available to work weekends and holidays. Qualifications: degree, license, special note. Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness, 55-a Program. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: The civil service permanent requirement, provisional note, etc. The description of DSS/HRA/DVS/NoVA network etc. The responsibilities list. The license details, special note, 55a, loan forgiveness, residency. Check if any other substantive info: "The NoVA program consists of the Assessment Units located at the DHS PATH Family Intake Center and the DHS Adult Family Intake Center (AFIC) and the NoVA/MRT-Consultation Unit." That's part of description; we should include in About the role. Also "Clients are referred to NoVA when presenting issues of domestic violence that could be contributing to the need for homeless services." Include. Also "The Office of Domestic Violence (ODV) is recruiting two (2) Social Workers to function as NoVA/PATH Social Workers who will:" then list responsibilities. Already captured. Also "Hours/Schedule: 10-6 (Sunday through Thursday) Must be available to work weekends and holidays" captured. Also "SOCIAL WORKER - 52613" is job ID; we drop. Also "Minimum Qualifications Qualification Requirements" etc. Also "License Requirements" etc. Also "Special Note Section 424-a..." etc. Also "55a Program" etc. Also "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" etc. Also "Residency Requirement" etc. Also "Additional Information" EEO etc - remove. Now we need to format. We'll produce HTML fragment:

  About the role

  The Department of Social Services (DSS) comprises the administrative units of the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) and the Department of Homeless Services (DHS). HRA fights poverty and income inequality by providing essential benefits such as Food Assistance and Emergency Rental Assistance. DHS prevents and addresses homelessness through innovative strategies to help families and individuals exit shelter and return to self‑sufficiency. Domestic Violence Services (DVS) provides comprehensive immediate and long‑term support services to survivors of domestic violence and their families, overseeing the nation’s largest domestic shelter system (more than 55 emergency shelters) that serves over 17,500 victims and children annually. DVS operates the 24‑hour domestic violence hotline, administers the No Violence Again (NOVA) program at the DHS intake center and the Domestic Violence Liaison Unit at Job Centers, partners with community‑based organizations for counseling, legal, financial development, and job readiness services, and leads the Teen Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (RAPP). The NOVA program provides assessments, crisis counseling, referrals to shelters, information about entitlements, advocacy, group counseling, legal intervention, and related services through Assessment Units at the DHS PATH Family Intake Center and the Adult Family Intake Center (AFIC) and the NOVA/MRT‑Consultation Unit. Clients are referred to NOVA when domestic‑related issues contribute to their need for homeless services. The Office of Domestic Violence (ODV) is recruiting two Social Workers to serve as NOVA/PATH Social Workers.
