We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe not a heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Overview (maybe "Overview" could be considered "About the role"? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Overview is not job title. Could use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Overview (maybe "Overview" could be considered "About the role"? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Overview is not job title. Could use Overview
. However they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use those headings if content matches. Let's map:
- About the role: could be overview description. We'll put overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: we have duties: Provide patient care, support admissions/discharge, comply with safety, observe patients, report changes, work under supervision, etc. We'll list as .
- Requirements: education, certification, experience. We'll list.
- Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements? Could combine. But we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate if distinct. The posting includes Education, Certification/Licensure, Minimum requirements (list of options), Experience (one year preferred). That's requirements. Qualifications maybe not separate; we could skip Qualifications if no distinct content.
- Skills: maybe communication, customer service, compassion, etc. We'll list.
- Benefits: they list many benefits. We'll include.
- Pay: they give base pay range $18.93 - $27.41 hourly, plus mention additional compensation. So we include Pay.
- Schedule: they mention Hours/Shift: Full-time, nightshift. 6pm to 6am. Also Work Shift Third (Nights). So we include Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove "Keywords:" line, "For more information about our employee benefits, CLICK HERE!" etc. Also remove "Sentara Health is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "For positions that are available as remote work..." etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like hospital description, facility details? That's substantive about the employer but not necessarily required sections. Could be part of Overview or About the role. We'll include a paragraph about Sentara Leigh Hospital details.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics: e.g., "American Health Associate BLS Certification required within 90 days of hire." Actually they wrote "American Health Associate BLS Certification required within 90 days of hire." Might be a typo; we keep as is.
Also "Sentara Care Partner Certification Program, or Successful completion of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), or National Certified Medical Assistant (NCMA), or National Patient Care Technician (NCPCT), or Completion of US Navy Hospital Corps School, or Emergency Services to include EMR, EMS, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic, or Current student enrolled in a clinical program (beyond prerequisites) having completed at least one semester of RN, LPN, RT or PT, or Current work experience within last three years as a PCT or Nursing Assistant."
We need to keep that list.
Also "One year of prior health care experience preferred."
Benefits list: Medical, Dental, Vision plans Paid Time Off, Paid Sick Leave, Paid Parental Leave, and Emergency Caregiver Leave Tuition Reimbursement and Student Loan Paydown programs 401k/403B, 401a plans Career Advancement Opportunities Work Perks For more information about our employee benefits, CLICK HERE! Then later they repeat benefits with more detail: Caring For Your Family and Your Career Medical, Dental, Vision plans Adoption, Fertility and Surrogacy Reimbursement up to $10,000 Paid Time Off and Sick Leave Paid Parental & Family Caregiver Leave Emergency Backup Care Long-Term, Short-Term Disability, and Critical Illness plans Life Insurance 401k/403B with Employer Match Tuition Assistance – $5,250/year and discounted educational opportunities through Guild Education Student Debt Pay Down – $10,000 Pet Insurance Legal Resources Plan Colleagues have the opportunity to earn an annual discretionary bonus if established system and employee eligibility criteria is met.
We need to combine benefits without duplication but preserve all specifics. So we need to list all distinct benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision plans; Paid Time Off; Paid Sick Leave; Paid Parental Leave; Emergency Caregiver Leave; Tuition Reimbursement; Student Loan Paydown programs; 401k/403B; 401a plans; Career Advancement Opportunities; Work Perks (maybe vague but we keep); Adoption, Fertility and Surrogacy Reimbursement up to $10,000; Emergency Backup Care; Long-Term, Short-Term Disability, and Critical Illness plans; Life Insurance; 401k/403B with Employer Match (note duplicate but we can mention with employer match); Tuition Assistance – $5,250/year and discounted educational opportunities through Guild Education; Student Debt Pay Down – $10,000; Pet Insurance; Legal Resources Plan; Annual discretionary bonus (if criteria met). Also maybe "Work Perks" is vague but we keep.
We should avoid repeating similar items: we have both 401k/403B and 401k/403B with Employer Match; we can combine as "401k/403B plans with employer match". Also 401a plans.
Pay: base pay range $18.93 - $27.41 hourly. Additional compensation may be available: shift differentials, on-call pay, overtime, shift premiums, extra-shift incentives, bonus opportunities. Compensation within range may vary based on qualifications, experience, location, market conditions, business needs.
Schedule: Full-time, nightshift. 6pm to 6am. Also Work Shift Third (Nights). We'll note schedule: Full-time, night shift (6pm–6am).
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. Use for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not include job title heading. So we will not have heading for "Patient Care Technician". We'll start with maybe
About the role
then paragraphs.
