Parole Agent 1 - SCI Waymart
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when there is real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract core content: description of duties, qualifications, work schedule, salary info, benefits, etc. Let's parse the posting: THE POSITION: intro paragraph about role, training, promotion, mission. NOTE: Senate Bill 411 merged... This is metadata maybe minor; we can fold into short
or drop. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: paragraph about advising inmates, role contributes... Then list of duties (Interview Preparation, Case Review, Report Writing, Hearing Coordination, Inmate Education, Public Interaction). Then "Interested in learning more? Additional details regarding this position can be found in the position description ." That's a link reference; we can drop as boilerplate? It's not essential maybe but it's a pointer; we could drop as it's not substantive. Then "Work Schedule and Additional Information:" then bullet list: Full-time employment, 40 hours per week; Work schedule and hours are to be determined. You will work holidays and weekends as required. You must be willing to travel. This position is eligible for full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55. This posting may be used to fill multiple positions at SCI Waymart, 11 Farview Drive , Waymart, PA 18472. Telework: You will not have the option to telework in this position. Salary: In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable. You will receive further communication regarding this position via email. Check your email, including spam/junk folders, for these notices. QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY: Minimum Experience and Training Requirements: list of options. Special Requirements: driver's license, CLEAN certification, etc. Other Requirements: completion of basic training, PA residency, essential job functions. Legal Requirements: medical exam, drug screening, background investigation, CJIS compliance, review of prior law enforcement employment records per Act 57 of 2020. Then "How to Apply:" etc. That's application instructions; we need to remove application instructions per instruction. So we drop everything from "How to Apply:" onward. Also "EXAMINATION INFORMATION" etc is also application/exam info; we should drop as it's instructions. Thus we keep: THE POSITION intro, DESCRIPTION OF WORK (including duties list), Work Schedule and Additional Information (including schedule, travel, retirement benefits, location, telework, salary note). Possibly also include "NOTE: Senate Bill 411 merged..." as minor metadata maybe in a short p. We need sections: About the role (maybe corresponds to THE POSITION intro). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (qualifications). Benefits (maybe retirement benefits). Pay (salary note). Schedule (work schedule). Skills? Not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills. We should not create sections with filler. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to use
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact wording? We should preserve the substance but can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Safer to keep the original sentences/phrases. We'll copy them.
Let's extract:
About the role: From THE POSITION paragraph:
"The POSITION Would you like to begin a public safety career that makes a difference in the lives of others? As a Parole Agent 1, you will advise inmates in a state correctional institution (SCI) and prepare them for parole hearings. This hands-on trainee role will teach you how to guide and encourage inmates as they become ready to re-enter their communities. Successful completion of the 12-month training period will result in a promotion to Parole Agent 2 with an increase in salary. Apply today to join the Department of Corrections in their mission to promote public safety and reduce recidivism!"
We should not include "Apply today" maybe it's application instruction? It's a call to apply; but it's part of the role description. Might be considered application instruction? It's encouraging to apply; but it's not about the role itself. However it's part of the "THE POSITION" block. The instruction says remove application instructions. This sentence "Apply today to join the Department of Corrections..." is an application instruction. So we should drop that sentence. Also "NOTE: Senate Bill 411 merged the Department of Corrections and the Board of Probation and Parole. This position is within the Department of Corrections." This is minor metadata; we can fold into short p.
Thus About the role content: "Would you like to begin a public safety career that makes a difference in the lives of others? As a Parole Agent 1, you will advise inmates in a state correctional institution (SCI) and prepare them for parole hearings. This hands-on trainee role will teach you how to guide and encourage inmates as they become ready to re-enter their communities. Successful completion of the 12-month training period will result in a promotion to Parole Agent 2 with an increase in salary."
We could also include the note about Senate Bill 411 as a short p.
Responsibilities: list of duties from DESCRIPTION OF WORK after the paragraph. The paragraph: "This position focuses on advising inmates and preparing them for parole. The role contributes to the smooth operation of parole services across the institution. As a Parole Agent 1, you will perform the following duties:" Then list items.
We need to keep that introductory sentence as prose (
) then list.
Duties list items exactly as given:
- Interview Preparation: Conduct interviews and provide guidance to inmates to help them create parole plans

- Inmate Education: Conduct orientation and parole classes to inform offenders about parole processes and policies

We should keep colon and text.
Requirements: from QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & ELIGIBILITY. We need to keep all substantive info: Minimum Experience and Training Requirements (options), Special Requirements, Other Requirements, Legal Requirements. We should not include "How to Apply" etc.
We need to format as a list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for each bullet point? Could combine into one list with subitems? Probably each requirement as a list item. But there are multiple sub-bullets within Minimum Experience and Training Requirements (four options). We could treat each option as a list item. Then Special Requirements as separate items, etc.
We need to preserve all detail, not summarize. So we need to include the exact wording.
Let's extract:
Minimum Experience and Training Requirements:
"Four years of paraprofessional experience which includes two years of paraprofessional social services, human services, corrections, or law enforcement experience; or
Two years of paraprofessional social services, human services, corrections, or law enforcement experience, and an associate’s degree; or

We should keep the note about residency link maybe as is; it's a reference; we can keep.
Benefits: from Work Schedule and Additional Information: "This position is eligible for full retirement benefits at age 50 or 55." Also maybe other benefits? Not mentioned. So we can have Benefits section with that sentence.
Pay: from Salary: "In some cases, the starting salary may be non-negotiable." Also maybe note about increase after training? Already mentioned in About the role. But we can include that sentence.
Schedule: from Work Schedule and Additional Information: "Full-time employment, 40 hours per week", "Work schedule and hours are to be determined.", "You will work holidays and weekends as required.", "You must be willing to travel.", "Telework: You will not have the option to telework in this position." Also location: "This posting may be used to fill multiple positions at SCI Waymart, 11 Farview Drive , Waymart, PA 18472."
