NVCLC - 19th Rd - Direct Support Professional (Sun - Thurs 3P - 11P) (69825)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections where there is real specific content.
We have content: description of duties (Principle Activities list). That's responsibilities. Also qualifications (Requirements). Also physical requirements. Also effect on end result (maybe could be part of purpose). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create those sections.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include sections: About the role? Could be a brief intro paragraph before responsibilities. The posting starts: "Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are responsible for supporting activities of people enrolled in programs and living in homes operated by Volunteers of America Chesapeake (VOAC). DSPs will teach independent living skills to the people and provide support with all activities of daily living. Additionally, the DSP will facilitate community integration, maintain the person’s safety and well-being in accordance with the Scope of Work and VOAC policies and procedures while contributing to the upkeep of the program environments." That's a good overview. Could be placed under About the role.
Then Responsibilities: list of principle activities (the bullet list). We'll convert each sentence into
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Then Requirements/Qualifications: The posting has "Qualifications REQUIREMENTS:" then list. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have both requirements and qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section. But we have separate "Qualifications REQUIREMENTS:" heading. We'll treat as Qualifications.
We also have Physical Requirements and Effect On End Result. Those could be separate sections: Physical Requirements and Purpose/Effect. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements not in list, but we can still use
with that heading? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed, but better to stick to given ones if possible. Physical Requirements could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be better to have a separate section Physical Requirements as it's substantive. We'll include Physical Requirements
.
Effect On End Result could be placed under About the role or a Purpose section. Could be a
after responsibilities.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract details.
