Part Time Overnight Youth Care Worker
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content: - Intro: "Join our team today! At Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, we are dedicated to empowering Youth, fostering hope, and creating brighter futures. Our mission is to be advocates, educators, coaches, and role models for the Youth we serve. We strongly believe that every young individual deserves a chance to thrive and reach their full potential. As one of the Top 100 Places to Work in Chicago according to the Chicago Tribune since 2012, Mercy Home prides itself on prioritizing the growth and well-being of our team. We provide comprehensive training as well as ongoing professional development opportunities throughout your time here. Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to Diversity and Inclusion. If you're passionate, driven, and dedicated to making the world a better place, then we want you on our team. The committed workers at Mercy Home provide healing, guidance, and opportunity to young men and women in need." That's about the organization, mission, etc. 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 accordingly. - "How You’ll Make An Impact Nothing brings greater life satisfaction than helping others. As a Youth Care Worker, you will act as an advocate, role model and coach for the Youth who live in our residential programs. You can change the trajectory of their lives! As one of their primary support figures, you will work with others to assist the Youth at Mercy Home in re-establishing themselves in a secure environment that will empower them to pursue their goals with confidence. If you're compassionate and willing to serve, we invite you to join our team. Together, we can cultivate positive relationships and engage in meaningful activities and interventions that will help Youth in need." That's more about role impact. - "In This Role, You Will Remain awake and aware of milieuPosition chair/ workstation in order to ensure a clear view of the youth bedrooms at all times.Conduct bedroom checks at a minimum of every 30 minutes, with visual sight of each youth to ensure their safety. Check on a more frequent basis (i.e. every 15 minutes) based on program needs or supervisor request.Log accurately and timely, in the program logbook, all bed checks as well as any other/ youth activityBe responsible for timely and accurate communication (e.g. incident reports, contact with Youths’ families, log entries, e-mail, and contacts with on-call supervisor).Engage with youth in daily routines and activities.Build a therapeutic relationship with Youth and their familiesDevelop and implement each Youth’s individual Treatment PlanWork collaboratively with School Resources, Career Resources and After-School Program co-workers to support Youth in those areasCommunicate timely and accurately (e.g. contact with Youths’ families, log entries, incident reports, email, contact with on-call supervisor)Provide supportive supervision, guidance, and role modeling for the Youth, as well as engage with Youth in daily routines and activities in the milieuDevelop and support creative interventions for YouthParticipate in supervision meetingsWork with assigned advocate(s) including weekly Advocate meetings, as well as weekly family contactsEmploy all aspects of de-escalation and behavior management techniques as outlined in Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) protocolProvide transportation for Youth and their family systems as necessaryLearn, align with, and execute the treatment philosophies, modalities, and practices of the Agency" That's responsibilities. - "What We Need From You Be at least 21 years old High School diploma or GED required; Bachelor’s degree preferred.Ability to stay awake and alert during hours of rest for the Youth.At least two years of experience working with youthA valid Illinois driver’s license (or ability to get one upon hire), ability to drive a van, maintain a clear driving record and retain driving approval through the Department of Children and Family ServicesGood interpersonal, oral, and written communication skillsMaturity and sensitivity to cultural and individual differencesAbility to maintain confidentialityExperience with Microsoft Office, as well as the willingness to become proficient in other software packages and programsAbility to attend required Agency trainings and maintain necessary training complianceAbility to lift and/or move up to 40 pounds, and with proper training, physically restrain youthCommitment to the mission, values, and goals of the Agency" That's requirements/qualifications/skills. - "Basics Information / Schedule Details This is a part-time position. The schedule is Fridays and Saturdays 11pm-7am. Pay range is between $23-$24/hour Location: Walsh Girls Campus- 11600 S. Longwood Dr Chicago, IL 60643 For information on benefits please follow this link- https://www.mercyhome.org/working-mercy-home-2/benefits/" We have schedule, pay, location, benefits link. Benefits: we have a link but not details. According to rule: do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only gives a link, not actual benefits description. So we should not create a Benefits section. However we could include a short paragraph referencing benefits link? The rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading ... and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location could be folded into a paragraph. Pay and Schedule we have explicit content, so we can create Pay and Schedule sections. - "Why You Will Love Working Here At Mercy Home, our commitment to providing the best care for the Youth we serve extends to ensuring our team receives top-of-the-line training and professional development. We are a Top Workplace as awarded by the Chicago Tribune. Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to Inclusion and Diversity Visit us at www.mercyhome.org/jobs" That's more about benefits/training but again generic. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Why You'll Love Working Here" but not in allowed headings. We could incorporate into About the role or maybe a "Benefits" but we don't have specifics. So better to incorporate into About the role. Thus sections we will have: - About the role (or maybe "About the organization") containing mission, Top 100 Places to Work, training, professional development, commitment, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the big block). Use
- for each duty.
- Requirements: maybe combine "What We Need From You" into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills. But we have separate headings allowed: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide how to split. The content includes: age, education, experience, driver's license, communication skills, maturity, confidentiality, Microsoft Office, training compliance, physical ability, commitment to mission. Could be split: Requirements (minimum qualifications) like age, education, experience, driver's license, ability to stay awake, etc. Qualifications (preferred) like Bachelor's degree preferred. Skills (specific skills) like interpersonal communication, Microsoft Office, etc. But we must not create sections with filler. We have real content for each.
Let's parse:
Requirements (must have):
- Be at least 21 years old
- High School diploma or GED required
- Ability to stay awake and alert during hours of rest for the Youth
- At least two years of experience working with youth
- Valid Illinois driver’s license (or ability to get one upon hire), ability to drive a van, maintain a clear driving record and retain driving approval through DCFS
- Ability to lift and/or move up to 40 pounds, and with proper training, physically restrain youth
- Commitment to the mission, values, and goals of the Agency
Qualifications (preferred):
- Bachelor’s degree preferred
Skills:
- Good interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills
- Maturity and sensitivity to cultural and individual differences
- Ability to maintain confidentiality
- Experience with Microsoft Office, as well as the willingness to become proficient in other software packages and programs
- Ability to attend required Agency trainings and maintain necessary training compliance
That seems reasonable.
Pay: $23-$24/hour.
Schedule: part-time, Fridays and Saturdays 11pm-7am.
Location: Walsh Girls Campus- 11600 S. Longwood Dr Chicago, IL 60643. Could be a short paragraph.
We should not include benefits section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove those lines.
We must not include application instructions or link to benefits (except maybe we could mention link but it's not substantive). Better to drop the link.
We must not repeat job title as heading.

Optionally location paragraph after schedule or within About the role? Could be a separateafter schedule. We must ensure we don't include any empty sections. Now craft the About the role paragraph: combine mission, Top 100 Places to Work, training, professional development, commitment to growth and well-being, healing, guidance, opportunity, etc. Also include "Why You Will Love Working Here" content about training and professional development, Top Workplace award. Let's write: At Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, we are dedicated to empowering youth, fostering hope, and creating brighter futures. Our mission is to be advocates, educators, coaches, and role models for the youth we serve, believing every young individual deserves a chance to thrive and reach their full potential. As one of the Top 100 Places to Work in Chicago (Chicago Tribune, since 2012), we prioritize the growth and well‑being of our team, providing comprehensive training and ongoing professional development opportunities. The committed workers at Mercy Home provide healing, guidance, and opportunity to young men and women in need, and we strive to cultivate positive relationships and meaningful activities that help youth pursue their goals with confidence. That seems good. Now Responsibilities: need to split the long block into sensible bullet points. Let's extract each duty: - Remain awake and aware of milieu; position chair/workstation to ensure a clear view of the youth bedrooms at all times. - Conduct bedroom checks at a minimum of every 30 minutes, with visual sight of each youth to ensure their safety. - Check on a more frequent basis (i.e., every 15 minutes) based on program needs or supervisor request. - Log accurately and timely, in the program logbook, all bed checks as well as any other youth activity. - Be responsible for timely and accurate communication (e.g., incident reports, contact with youths’ families, log entries, e‑mail, and contacts with on‑call supervisor). - Engage with youth in daily routines and activities. - Build a therapeutic relationship with youth and their families. - Develop and implement each youth’s individual treatment plan. - Work collaboratively with School Resources, Career Resources, and After‑School Program co‑workers to support youth in those areas. - Provide supportive supervision, guidance, and role modeling for the youth, as well
