Also maybe "Status: Part-Time" but schedule covers.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay and schedule.
We must not invent details.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's structure:
About the role
The Personal Care Assistant / 1:1 Paraeducator (School Age) is assigned to provide instructional, behavioral and personal care support as outlined in the student's Individual Education Plan. The assistant will be directed by the classroom teacher and is under the general supervision of the designated program supervisor.

Responsibilities
Provide instructional, behavioral, and personal care support to students per their IEP; follow direction from classroom teacher; work under general supervision of program supervisor.
But we need to ensure we don't repeat same content. The purpose already includes that. Could combine responsibilities as bullet list: Provide instructional support; Provide behavioral support; Provide personal care support; Follow teacher direction; etc. But we need to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list responsibilities as
- .
Similarly for Requirements: Education Required: High School Diploma or High School Equivalency Effective July 1, 2010 – Also must meet one of the following four qualifications: ... plus staff development requirement.
We could separate Qualifications and Requirements. The instruction says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where.
"Requirements" could be education requirement (HS diploma). "Qualifications" could be the four options plus staff development.
"Skills" could be verbal communication, ability to follow directions, computer skills, certification required, physical requirements.
But we also have "Essential Physical Requirement" which is a skill/requirement.
We need to preserve all info.
Let's extract:

No benefits mentioned.
Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education), Qualifications (the four options + staff dev), Skills (verbal communication, computer skills, certification, physical requirement), Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Benefits section because no info.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities we can list bullet points. For qualifications we can list bullet points. For skills we can list bullet points.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include the exact text where possible, but we can rephrase slightly as long as we keep meaning. Safer to copy the sentences.
