Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits (maybe "What We Offer" maps to Benefits). Also maybe "About the role"? Not present. The posting includes responsibilities, qualifications, and what we offer (benefits). Also maybe "Pay" not given. "Schedule" not given. So only include sections with real content. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, navigation, cookie, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to extract responsibilities list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll turn each responsibility into

• . Possibly group them under
  . Qualifications: list items: Clinical Expertise, Experience, Communication. Also maybe "Associates level degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant (licensed required)" etc. We'll list each bullet. What We Offer: list items: Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, Generous PTO, 401(k) with company match and discounted stock plan, Education Assistance, Opportunities for professional development and career growth, A supportive and collaborative work environment, Access to ongoing training and educational opportunities. Also maybe mention "One of the nation’s largest..." but that's about UHS; could be considered part of benefits? It's more company info. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not a benefit per se but could be considered part of "What We Offer"? The instruction: include section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "What We Offer" is specific benefits. The UHS description is more company overview; could be considered part of benefits? Might be considered extra but not a benefit. Safer to omit that paragraph as it's not a direct benefit. However it's substantive info about employer; but not requested as a section. Could be placed under a paragraph maybe under "About the role"? Not requested. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include a short paragraph about UHS under maybe "About the role"? But we don't have that heading. Could we create a section "About the Company"? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should stick to those. The UHS description could be considered part of Benefits? Not really. Might be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. Safer to omit it, as it's not a benefit, pay, schedule, qualifications, responsibilities, skills. It's extra company info; but we must preserve ALL substantive information. However the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we omit the UHS description, we lose substantive info. But maybe it's considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal; it's company description. Might be considered relevant. But we don't have a heading for it. Could we put it under a

  without a heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /. It didn't say we must wrap everything in headings. We can have

  elements outside headings. So we can include a paragraph about UHS after the benefits section, without a heading. That would preserve info. Similarly, the initial description about North Star Behavioral Health (mission, vision, principles) is substantive. Could be placed as a paragraph before Responsibilities. No heading needed. Thus structure: maybe a

  for the intro about North Star, then

  Responsibilities

  for UHS description. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not include Pay/Schedule sections. We must not include placeholder text. Now extract responsibilities precisely as given.

We need to preserve that. It's a bit messy with missing spaces after principles list. We'll keep as is. We'll put that as a

    before responsibilities. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, Notice, etc. Now output HTML fragment. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes punctuation but fine. Let's craft:
