Parent Educator
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We have description summary, duties and responsibilities, skills, requirements (job requirements, educational requirements & experiences), salary description.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (job requirements + educational), Skills, Pay (salary). Benefits and Schedule not present, so omit. Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with real content. We have summary -> About the role. Duties -> Responsibilities. Requirements -> Requirements (maybe also Qualifications? but we have separate Requirements section; we could put educational requirements under Requirements as well). Skills -> Skills. Pay -> Salary Description.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we include only those.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we should list each duty as
- . For Requirements we should list each requirement as
- . For Skills list each skill as
- . For Pay we can just put
with salary.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties listed, all requirements, all skills, educational requirements, etc.
We must not repeat job title. No markdown fences.
Let's extract duties list from "Duties And Responsibilities" paragraph. It's a long sentence with many duties separated by periods. We need to split into list items preserving each duty. We'll need to parse manually.
Duties text:

We need to keep each as separate
- . Some start with verb, some with "Must". We'll keep as is.
Now Requirements: "JOB REQUIREMENTS:" then list items:
"Must be able to function in a flexible work environment that will include different locations and may require working from home.
Must be able to operate a variety of equipment such as computer, printer, fax machine, copier, calculator, telephone, audio-visual equipment, etc.

We could combine into Requirements section, listing each bullet.
Now Skills: list after "Skills". The text:

Note some duplication: "Must demonstrate a philosophical and value base consistent with the purpose and goals of Clover." appears twice (first and later). We should keep both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplicated lines: we should remove duplicated lines? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate the skill lines. Let's identify duplicates:
- "Must demonstrate a philosophical and value base consistent with the purpose and goals of Clover." appears twice (first and later). Remove one duplicate.
- Also "Must demonstrate a philosophy and value base consistent with the purpose and goals of Clover, utilizing a strengths and empowerment perspective and working towards increasing the capacities of program participants and their families." is similar but not identical; it's a longer sentence. Keep both? The first is short, the second is longer with extra detail. Not duplicate.
- "Must have knowledge of early childhood education and developmental milestones." appears once.
- "Ability to assess student needs and perform accordingly." once.
- "Ability to respond effectively to changes and challenges and make effective adjustments where and when necessary." once.
- "Demonstrate an ability to create actionable strategies based on the work." once.
