Part-Time Senior Substitute
for sections: maybe "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Must include only sections with real content.
We have:
- Statement of Duties: description of role: cheerful, enthusiastic, flexible, strong attention to detail, join team providing excellent library services.
- Essential Functions: list of duties (staff desks, reference, readers advisory, assist patrons with computers, assist staff with programs, interact with public, other duties as assigned). That's responsibilities.
- Recommended Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience: Master's degree from ALA-accredited LIS program preferred (students currently enrolled... encouraged). Knowledge, Abilities And Skill: list of skills: excellent reference and customer service skills, ability to communicate effectively orally and in writing required; ability to follow oral and written instructions accurately and thoroughly; knowledge of principles and practices of public library operations; must be available evenings and weekends, up to 19 hours per week; must be flexible concerning schedule; multilingual ability preferred.
- Work Environment: description.
- Physical And Mental Requirements: subsections: Physical Skills, Motor Skills, Visual Skills.
- Hours: Part-time. Must be able to work weekdays, weeknights, and Saturdays. Up to 19 hours per week. Must be flexible concerning schedule.
- Salary: $29.14/hour; not a benefits-eligible position.
- FLSA: Non-Exempt
- Date Posted: September 23rd, 2026 (metadata, can be short p or drop)
- Benefits: There's a long "Overview of Total Rewards" but note: "Benefits listed are for benefits-eligible positions and the above information is meant to be a general overview..." The position says not a benefits-eligible position. So we should not create a Benefits section because the posting says not benefits-eligible. However the overview is generic; but we should not include benefits if not eligible. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Salary (pay) and Hours (schedule). It does not state benefits for this position (explicitly says not a benefits-eligible position). So we should not include Benefits section.
- Pay: Salary $29.14/hour.
- Schedule: Hours: Part-time, weekdays, weeknights, Saturdays, up to 19 hours per week, flexible.
We also have "FLSA: Non-Exempt" maybe could be included in Pay section or as a short p.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Remove the long EEO paragraph, ADA contact, Pre-Employment Requirements, Overview of Total Rewards (since not benefits-eligible), Powered by JazzHR.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we keep the description, essential functions list, qualifications, skills, work environment, physical requirements, hours, salary, FLSA.
We need to format using for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections: Perhaps "About the role" (combining Statement of Duties and Essential Functions?), but we could have separate sections: "Responsibilities" (Essential Functions), "Qualifications" (Education and Experience + Knowledge, Abilities And Skill), "Skills" maybe separate? But we can combine knowledge/abilities as qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have sections: "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Work Environment & Physical Requirements", "Hours & Schedule", "Pay". That's 5 sections.
But we need to use headings exactly from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose any of those that have content. We must not create sections with filler. So we can use: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Maybe also About the role? The Statement of Duties could be About the role. That's substantive. So we could have About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list), Pay (p), Schedule (p). That's 5 sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Good.
We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.

Pay
Salary: $29.14/hour; not a benefits-eligible position. FLSA: Non‑Exempt.
Schedule
Hours: Part‑time. Must be able to work weekdays, weeknights, and Saturdays. Up to 19 hours per week. Must be flexible, particularly concerning schedule.
We should also maybe include Work Environment & Physical Requirements? But we have not used a heading for that. Could we incorporate into Qualifications? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could add a section "Work Environment" if we have content. But we have not used that heading yet. However we have to decide if we want to include it. The posting includes Work Environment and Physical And Mental Requirements sections with substantive info. Should we include them? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. It does have content. So we could add a section "Work Environment". But we need to decide which headings to use from allowed list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Work Environment" is not in the list. So we cannot create a heading not in list. The allowed headings are those eight. So we must map content to those headings. We could put Work Environment content under "About the role" or "Qualifications" or maybe "Skills"? But better to keep within allowed headings.
We have "Requirements" heading available. Could put Physical And Mental Requirements under "Requirements". Also "Skills" heading for skills. But we already used Qualifications for education/experience and knowledge/abilities. Could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for knowledge/abilities. Then Requirements for physical/mental requirements. Let's see.
We have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to assign content:
- About the role: Statement of Duties (cheerful, enthusiastic, etc.)
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Qualifications: Education and Experience (Master's degree preferred, students encouraged).
- Skills: Knowledge, Abilities And Skill (reference/customer service, communication, follow instructions, knowledge of library operations, availability evenings/weekends up to 19 hrs, flexible schedule, multilingual preferred).
- Requirements: Physical And Mental Requirements (Physical Skills, Motor Skills, Visual Skills) plus maybe Work Environment? Could also include Work Environment under Requirements? But Work Environment is separate; maybe we could incorporate into About the role? But we already used About the role for statement. Could add Work Environment as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay but could be thin. However we have to avoid filler. The Work Environment description is substantive: "The work environment involves everyday discomforts typical of offices, with occasional exposure to outside elements. Noise or physical surroundings may be distracting, but conditions are generally not unpleasant. Employees will be required to work nights and weekends, as the library is a public building open in the evenings and on weekends." That's substantive. Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay but then About the role would have two paragraphs: statement and work environment. That's fine.
Alternatively we could put Work Environment under Requirements as well. But Requirements heading is for requirements; work environment is not a requirement but could be considered. However we have Physical And Mental Requirements which is definitely requirements. So we can put both under Requirements: a paragraph about work environment, then a list of physical/mental requirements.
Thus:
Requirements
The work environment involves everyday discomforts typical of offices, with occasional exposure to outside elements. Noise or physical surroundings may be distracting, but conditions are generally not unpleasant. Employees will be required to work nights and weekends, as the library is a public building open in the evenings and on weekends.
Physical And Mental Requirements: ...
Then we can break into subpoints maybe for physical skills, motor skills, visual skills.
But we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract Physical And Mental Requirements details:
- Physical Skills: Few physical demands are required to perform the work. Work effort principally involves sitting to perform work tasks, with intermittent periods of stooping, walking, and standing. May also be some occasional lifting of objects such as books and office equipment, as well as pushing book carts.
- Motor Skills: Duties are largely mental rather than physical, but the job requires minimal motor skills for activities such as moving books, using a personal computer, telephone, and/or most other office equipment.
- Visual Skills: Visual demands require constantly reading both a computer screen and printed documents for general understanding and analytical purposes.
Also note: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the position’s essential function.
We should include that.
Thus Requirements section could have:
