HealthcarePart-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about organization, mission, etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have: - Description of The Home for Little Wanderers, mission, programs. That could go under "About the role" (or maybe "About the organization"). - Then: "The Home’s Therapeutic After School Program (TASP)... is seeking a Part-Time Residential Counselor." That's also about role. - Then details: program utilizes strength-based, family-centered model, referrals, interdisciplinary program works to ensure youth have positive after-school experience integrating therapeutic, recreational, educational, family services working towards achieving each child’s goals based on individualized treatment plans. - Then "Position Description Under the direction of the supervisor, they will be primarily responsible for providing a safe and secure environment for clients. The Residential Counselor is expected to be knowledgeable of the program’s mission, treatment philosophy, and policies and procedures and to implement this understanding in their direct care and supervision of clients. In this position, the beneficiary will counsel, observe, and provide behavioral training, outreach support, advocacy and treatment to children and their families to facilitate reunification and/or long-term out of home placement. Additional case management duties include ensuring that the individuals served are supported to lead emotionally and physically healthy lifestyles in preparation for long-term placement. This may include, but is not limited to, exercise and nutrition training, community integration, psycho- educational therapeutic counseling, human rights advocacy, medical advocacy, medication administration, social and life-skills training, as well as educational and life planning." - Then "How You'll Be Making a Difference" bullet list (actually sentences). This is responsibilities. - Then "Qualifications" list: High school diploma or equivalent, One year childcare experience in a residential setting with similar population of children, Computer literate, including Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer, with the ability to learn new software applications. - Then "Driving Requirements" maybe part of qualifications? Could be separate but we can include under Qualifications or Requirements. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Driving Requirements content: "May be required to operate a vehicle May be required to have a valid driver’s license and a “satisfactory” driving recordIf required to transport clients, must maintain the minimum amounts of liability insurance as required by The Home and/or other regulatory requirements and vehicle registration must be current". That's specific. Could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. Since we have a Qualifications section, we can include driving requirements there as bullet items. - Then "Pay Range Positioning Summary" includes description of pay range but not actual numbers. It says "The pay range listed represents the company’s good faith estimate of the salary or wage range for this position at the time of posting, as required under applicable law. Actual compensation will be based on a variety of factors...". No actual numbers given. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since no actual pay range numbers are given, we should not include a Pay section. The text is generic; it's not a specific range. So we omit Pay. - Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits. - Schedule: Not mentioned (part-time mentioned but no schedule details). So omit Schedule. - Skills: Not explicitly listed separate from qualifications; we could put computer literacy etc under Qualifications or Skills. But we have Qualifications section already; we could also have Skills if there are specific skills like counseling, behavior training, etc. Those are in responsibilities. Might be better to put them under Responsibilities. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. That's three sections. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the intro paragraphs about organization, mission, etc. That's prose. We need to include the description of TASP and program. We need to include Position Description paragraphs. We need to include "How You'll Be Making a Difference" list as responsibilities (maybe bullet list). The text currently is sentences separated by line breaks but not bullet list. We can convert to

    • each. We need to include Qualifications bullet list: high school diploma, one year childcare experience, computer literate etc. Also driving requirements. We must not include the YouTube link? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The YouTube link is not boilerplate; it's a link to learn more about impact. Might be considered part of "About the role"? It's a supplemental resource. Should we keep? It's not explicitly prohibited. It's not boilerplate. It's a link to a video. I'd keep it as part of About the role maybe as a

      with link. We must not include "Valuing Diversity" section? That's EEO/diversity statement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove the "Valuing Diversity" paragraph. Also remove any other EEO statements. So we will omit that. Also remove "Learn more about the incredible impact our employees have on the lives of children and families, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXedSArtYbg." That's not EEO but it's a link to a video; it's not boilerplate but it's maybe considered promotional. The instruction didn't say to remove promotional links. It said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those. So we can keep. But we need to ensure we don't include any application instructions. There's none. Now produce HTML. Structure:

      About the role

      ... intro paragraphs about organization, mission, TASP, YouTube link.

      But note some sentences are long; we may split them into separate bullets as appropriate. The original "How You'll Be Making a Difference" list includes many items; we can keep them as separate bullets. We need to ensure we didn't lose any substantive info from Position Description paragraphs that are not covered in responsibilities. The Position Description includes: providing safe environment, knowledgeable of program mission, etc., counseling, observe, provide behavioral training, outreach support, advocacy and treatment to children and families to facilitate reunification and/or long-term out of home placement. Additional case management duties include ensuring that individuals served are supported to lead emotionally and physically healthy lifestyles in preparation for long-term placement. This may include, but is not limited to, exercise and nutrition training, community integration, psycho- educational therapeutic counseling, human rights advocacy, medical advocacy, medication administration, social and life-skills training, as well as educational and life planning. These are somewhat covered in responsibilities bullets but we may need to ensure they are included. The responsibilities list we derived from "How You'll Be Making a Difference" includes many but not all. Let's map: - Provide safe and secure environment: we have bullet "Maintain a safe and supportive environment. Manage living, dining, educational, recreational areas to provide a clean, organized environment for students. Insure adequate supervision of students through coordination of care with other staff." That's covered. - Knowledgeable of program’s mission, treatment philosophy, policies and procedures and implement in direct care and supervision: maybe not explicit. Could add bullet: "Be knowledgeable of the program’s mission, treatment philosophy, and policies and procedures and implement this understanding in direct care and supervision of clients." - Counsel, observe, and provide behavioral training, outreach support, advocacy and treatment to children and their families to facilitate reunification and/or long-term out of home placement: we have bullet "Provide group and individual behavior support and intervention as trained, including the use of TCI appropriate physical restraint as necessary." but counseling, outreach support, advocacy maybe not explicit. Could add bullet: "Counsel, observe, and provide behavioral training, outreach support, advocacy, and treatment to children and their families to facilitate reunification and/or long-term out-of-home placement." - Additional case management duties: ensuring individuals served are supported to lead emotionally and physically healthy lifestyles in preparation for long-term placement. This may include exercise and nutrition training, community integration, psycho-educational therapeutic counseling, human rights advocacy, medical advocacy, medication administration, social and life-skills training, educational and life planning. We have bullets for exercise and nutrition training? Not explicitly. We have "Teach age appropriate life skills and social skills through modeling, counseling, and other techniques." Might cover life skills. We have "Participate in off-campus recreational/educational activities" maybe community integration. We have "Provide group and individual behavior support and intervention" maybe counseling. We have "Maintain a safe and supportive environment" etc. But we may need to explicitly list those case management duties. Given instruction to preserve ALL substantive information, we should include those details. So we need to incorporate them into responsibilities bullets. Thus we need to create a comprehensive responsibilities list that includes all items from both Position Description and How You'll Be Making a Difference. Let's extract all substantive duties: From Position Description: - Provide a safe and secure environment for clients. - Be knowledgeable of the program’s mission, treatment philosophy, and policies and procedures and implement this understanding in direct care and supervision of clients. - Counsel, observe, and provide behavioral training, outreach support, advocacy and treatment to children and their families to facilitate reunification and/or long-term out of home placement. - Ensure that the individuals served are supported to lead emotionally and physically healthy lifestyles in preparation for long-term placement. This may include: * exercise and nutrition training *
