Patient Care Assistant (PCA), Surgical Med Surg, Part Time, Nights
for sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes sections: About West Chester Hospital, Unit Details, Benefits Details, Location, Qualifications, Required Skills And Knowledge, Responsibilities (with subheadings PATIENT POPULATION, Patient Care Provides..., Communication, Environment, Teamwork, Other duties as delegated, Safety Measures). Also there is "About UC Health" but that's likely boilerplate? It's about the organization; we might include as "About UC Health"? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use headings like About West Chester Hospital, Unit Details, Benefits Details, Qualifications, Required Skills And Knowledge, Responsibilities. Also maybe About UC Health? It's not required but could be considered "About the role"? The role description is earlier. The "About UC Health" is more about the organization; could be considered "About UC Health". But we need to include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes details about UC Health; we can include a section "About UC Health". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine some.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is "UC Health is an EEO employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "Join our team as a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) in our Surgical Med Surg unit and work alongside the best and brightest clinical teams collaborating toward our common purpose: to advance healing and reduce suffering. Join our team to BE UC Health. Be Extraordinary. Be Supported. Be Hope. Apply Today!" That's application instruction/motivation; we should remove application instructions. So remove that paragraph.
Also "Learn more at uchealth.com." is boilerplate; remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information: job description, details about West Chester Hospital, unit details, benefits, location, qualifications, required skills and knowledge, responsibilities (including sub-sections). We'll format responsibilities as maybe a with items? The responsibilities are a long prose with bullet-like sentences but not explicitly list. We could keep as paragraphs for each responsibility category. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So if we see a list, we should use ul/li. The responsibilities section includes headings like PATIENT POPULATION - (CLINICAL ONLY): then a paragraph of duties. Could treat each heading as a
? But only allowed for section headings. We could keep responsibilities as a with Responsibilities
and then inside we have subheadings maybe as or just keep as prose. The instruction didn't forbid other headings like but said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It didn't say we cannot use other headings, but to be safe we can just use
for each responsibility subsection, maybe preceded by a for the heading. But better to keep as with the heading text bolded.
Similarly for Required Skills And Knowledge: we can make a
Required Skills And Knowledge
and then a with the content.
Qualifications: we have Education and Experience Requirements, LICENSE & CERTIFICATION, Minimum Required etc. Could format as
- for each bullet.
Benefits Details: list of benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance; Employee Paid Short- and Long-Term Disability; 401K; Tuition Reimbursement Opportunities; Community Discounts. Use
