We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal etc. So we will keep only substantive content: description of duties, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule, location maybe.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
Let's parse:
- Intro sentences: "This position will be required to apply all types and complexities of casts. This position is often required to work under the direct supervision of a physician and/or nurse practitioner. This position is required to provide casting services in the operating room in accordance with operating room procedures and protocols. This position must demonstrate a high level of competency in the areas of cast application, cast removal, traction techniques, and casting protocols." This could be About the role.
- Hours/schedule: "Hours/schedule will fluctuate between 8:00am-4:30pm & 9:00am-5:30pm, Monday-Friday, with on-call Saturday rotation requirements every 6-8 weeks. The hours on the Saturday rotation are 8:00am-12:00pm." That's schedule.
- Location: "Location: this individual will split their time between Burnsville & St. Paul (main campus)." Could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not required heading.
- Compensation & Benefits paragraph: includes pay range and benefits. So we need Pay and Benefits sections.
- Primary Job Responsibilities: list of responsibilities.
- Qualifications: Required: prior experience, CPR certification, travel to offsite clinics.
- Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list of skills.
- Preferred: list of preferred qualifications.
- Culture paragraph: could be About the role or maybe omitted as boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's culture description; could be part of About the role.
We must not include EEO, E-Verify, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as heading (not given). Do not put Job ID etc.
We must include a section only when posting has real specific content; never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role (intro + location + culture maybe)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (maybe required qualifications)
- Qualifications (maybe preferred? but we have both Required and Preferred; could combine under Qualifications with subheadings? But we only have
headings, not subheadings. Could split into Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as separate sections? But headings list includes Qualifications only. Could treat Qualifications as both required and preferred combined. Or we could have Requirements for required qualifications, and Skills for knowledge, skills, abilities. The headings list includes Skills as separate. So we can map:
- About the role: intro + location + culture.
- Responsibilities: list of primary job responsibilities.
- Requirements: required qualifications (prior experience, CPR cert, travel).
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? But we already have Requirements; maybe Qualifications could be "Preferred qualifications". However the heading list includes Qualifications separate from Skills. Could treat Qualifications as the combined required and preferred? But we have Skills heading for knowledge, skills, abilities. So we could put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills section.
Thus:
- About the role: intro + location + culture.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: required qualifications.
- Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities (including interpersonal communication, interest in working with children, medical terminology, professionalism, inclusive environment).
- Benefits: benefits package.
- Pay: hourly wage range, median, factors.
- Schedule: hours schedule.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. All have content.
Now we need to format.
We need to use for each section heading.
Inside each section, we need to use
for prose, and
- for any list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate.
Let's extract each piece precisely.
**About the role**:
Original sentences:
"This position will be required to apply all types and complexities of casts. This position is often required to work under the direct supervision of a physician and/or nurse practitioner. This position is required to provide casting services in the operating room in accordance with operating room procedures and protocols. This position must demonstrate a high level of competency in the areas of cast application, cast removal, traction techniques, and casting protocols."
Location: "Location: this individual will split their time between Burnsville & St. Paul (main campus)."
Culture paragraph: "At Gillette Children’s, we foster a culture where every team member feels a sense of belonging and purpose. We are dedicated to building an environment where all feel welcomed, respected, and supported. Our values are embedded at the heart of our culture. We act first from love, embrace the bigger picture, and work side-by-side with our patients, families, and colleagues to help every child create their own story. Together, we work to ensure patients of all backgrounds and abilities reach their full potential."
We should combine these into a coherent prose paragraph(s). We must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep sentences as is, maybe separate paragraphs.
We need to avoid duplication: The intro sentences already mention competency areas; we keep them.
We should not add any extra info.
Thus About the role could be multiple
elements.
