Patient Care Technician I -Inpatient, 4 East, 32 hours, Evenings
for section headings
2. Use - for lists
3. Use
for prose
4. NOT repeat job title as heading
5. NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings
6. Fold minor metadata into short
or drop it
7. Preserve ALL substantive information
8. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions)
9. Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content
10. Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text
11. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them
12. Output ONLY HTML fragment
Let me identify the sections:
1. **Job Details/Metadata** - There's specific info: Exemption Status, Hiring Range, Schedule Details, Scheduled Hours, Shift, Hours, Cost Center, Union, Signing bonus. This could be a "Job Details" or "Position Details" section.
2. **About the Organization** - The "Everyone Is a Caregiver" paragraph is about UMass Memorial Health. This could be "About UMass Memorial Health" or similar.
3. **About the Role** - The description under "DO NOT POST AS NEW REQ" for PCT I.
4. **Responsibilities** - The "Major Responsibilities" for PCT I.
5. **Standard Staffing Level Responsibilities** - Could be combined with responsibilities or separate.
6. **Qualifications** - "Position Qualifications" for PCT I.
7. **Physical Demands and Environmental Conditions** - For PCT I.
8. **Patient Care Technician II Information** - There's a separate section labeled "For Ta Purposes" with Job Title: Patient Care Technician II, Job Profile Summary, and then Major Responsibilities, Standard Staffing Level Responsibilities, Position Qualifications. This seems like additional info about career progression or a related role. Should I include it? The posting includes it, so I should preserve it. Maybe as a separate section "Patient Care Technician II Career Path" or similar.
But note: The user said "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So I need to include the PCT II info as well.
However, the PCT II section seems to be labeled "For Ta Purposes" which might mean "For Talent Acquisition Purposes" - it could be internal info. But it's in the posting, so I'll include it.
Let me structure:
-

with subsections? But the rule says use for section headings. I could use for each major section, but for PCT II, it has its own responsibilities and qualifications. Maybe I should make it a separate section with sub-headings? But the instruction says use for section headings. It doesn't forbid multiple s. I can have multiple sections.
Better to treat PCT II as a separate section with its own responsibilities and qualifications. But the posting has "Job Profile Summary" then "I. Major Responsibilities", "Standard Staffing Level Responsibilities", "II. Position Qualifications". I could create:
Patient Care Technician II Overview
Job Profile Summary...
Patient Care Technician II Responsibilities
...
Patient Care Technician II Standard Staffing Responsibilities
...
Patient Care Technician II Qualifications
...
But that might be too many headings. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." However, the PCT II info is substantial and distinct. I'll include it as a section with subsections using for each.
Alternatively, I could combine PCT I and PCT II responsibilities if they are similar, but they have differences (e.g., phlebotomy, precepting, IV lines). The posting presents them separately, so I'll keep them separate.
Let me start writing HTML.
First, Position Details: I'll create a
with the metadata.
Exemption Status: Non-Exempt
Hiring Range: $18.92 - $26.96 (based on full time 40 hrs/week), prorated for part-time
Schedule: Holidays - Every Other Holiday, Weekends - Every Other Weekend
Scheduled Hours: 3pm-11:30pm, Shift: 2 - Evening Shift, 8 Hours
Hours: 32
Cost Center: 10020 - 0200 Nurs 4Th Floor East
Union: SHARE (State Healthcare and Research Employees)
Signing bonus may be available (confirm during interview)
I'll put this in a
with line breaks or separate
s. Since it's metadata, maybe a
? But the rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is not duties/requirements/benefits, it's job details. Could be a
with
or a
of details. I think a is fine for a list of details. But the rule says "use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". It doesn't say exclusively. I'll use a
for clarity.
But the instruction: "Fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." This metadata is substantive (pay range, schedule, hours, union). So I'll include as a list.
I'll do:
