for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job description.

We need to extract sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, About Us, About The Team. Possibly also Pay? There's mention of Pay transparency and salary range but not a specific range. The posting says "Pay transparency: St. Joseph’s Health provides a salary range to comply with New Jersey Law. The rate of pay for each position will be determined based on a variety of factors including the candidate's relevant experience, qualifications, skills, etc.” The salary range does not include incentives, differential pay or other forms of compensation." This is not a specific numeric range; it's a statement about pay transparency. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does mention pay transparency but not a specific range; it's not a concrete salary figure. The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay transparency, but not a specific range. However, the instruction says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The phrase "Pay transparency: St. Joseph’s Health provides a salary range to comply with New Jersey Law." This is stating that they provide a salary range (though not given). It's still stating they provide a salary range. But the rule also says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". The statement about pay transparency is somewhat generic but not filler like "commensurate with experience". It says they provide a salary range to comply with NJ law. That is substantive? It's not a specific range but it's a statement that they provide one. I'd consider it substantive enough to include a Pay section? However, the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to include Pay section with that statement. But we also have Benefits section already. Could combine Pay and Benefits? The instruction says use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule etc. It's okay to have both.
We also have no Schedule info.
Thus sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, About Us, About The Team.
We need to format responsibilities as a list (
- ). Qualifications also list. Benefits list. Pay maybe a paragraph.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Responsible for assisting patients with activities of daily living
- provides basic care to acutely ill patients
- Assists in the maintenance of a safe and clean environment
- Performs EKG's and Venipuncture as directed by the Registered Nurse
We need to keep punctuation as is? Probably fine.
Qualifications: It's a long block with many OR conditions. Need to list each qualification option as list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list each qualification as separate
- . However, the qualifications block includes many OR statements; we can break them into items.
Let's parse qualifications text:
"Qualifications High School diploma or equivalentBasic Life Support certification within 6 months of hire PCA/PCT (Patient Care Associate/Patient Care Technician) diploma with 6 months to 1 year of previous work experience within the last 6 months in an healthcare setting ORCertified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification OR PCA/PCT diploma with National Health Career Association certification OR EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification OR Enrolled in an accredited nursing school program and has completed Nursing Fundamentals level coursework in lieu of PCA/PCT diploma/certification OR Provides evidence of completion in Nursing Fundamental level coursework OR Evidence of Completion in of a Nursing Assistant training program OR PCA/PCT, Home Health Aide or CMA experience Effective January 2019, St. Joseph’s Health requires certifications for Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) to be granted through the American Heart Association"
We need to separate items. The text is messy with missing spaces. Let's try to reconstruct:
- High School diploma or equivalent
- Basic Life Support certification within 6 months of hire
- PCA/PCT (Patient Care Associate/Patient Care Technician) diploma with 6 months to 1 year of previous work experience within the last 6 months in an healthcare setting
- Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification
- PCA/PCT diploma with National Health Career Association certification
- EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification
- Enrolled in an accredited nursing school program and has completed Nursing Fundamentals level coursework in lieu of PCA/PCT diploma/certification
- Provides evidence of completion in Nursing Fundamental level coursework
- Evidence of Completion in of a Nursing Assistant training program (typo)
- PCA/PCT, Home Health Aide or CMA experience
- Effective January 2019, St. Joseph’s Health requires certifications for Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) to be granted through the American Heart Association
We should keep the last item as a requirement about certifications.
Now Benefits: The text:
"Benefits Eligibility: (Full-time and Part-time Employees-over 20 hours a week) Competitive salary*Robust benefits with health, dental, Rx and vision plans403b retirement plan options with company match**Health & Wellness*Non-Profit Health System – eligible for Federal Student Loan ForgivenessPTO, and paid holidaysTuition reimbursementEmployee Assistance ProgramLTD : Long Term DisabilityLife Insurance OptionsOnsite Day care ProgramAvailable for Per Diem Employees and Part-time Employees working under 20 hours per week.403b Company Match not applicable for Per Diem Employees and Part-time Employees working under 20 hours per week."
We need to parse into list items. There are some asterisks and double asterisks indicating maybe footnotes. We'll keep the substance.
Let's split:
- Competitive salary
- Robust benefits with health, dental, Rx and vision plans
- 403b retirement plan options with company match
- Health & Wellness
- Non-Profit Health System – eligible for Federal Student Loan Forgiveness
- PTO, and paid holidays
- Tuition reimbursement
- Employee Assistance Program
- LTD : Long Term Disability
- Life Insurance Options
- Onsite Day care Program
- Available for Per Diem Employees and Part-time Employees working under 20 hours per week.
- 403b Company Match not applicable for Per Diem Employees and Part-time Employees working under 20 hours per week.
We could combine the last two as separate items.
Now Pay section: The text:

The rate of pay for each position will be determined based on a variety of factors including the candidate's relevant experience, qualifications, skills, etc.” The salary range does not include incentives, differential pay or other forms of compensation."
We need to keep that as a paragraph.
About Us: paragraph.
About The Team: paragraph.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

We should not include any extra text like "Job Description
