Patient Care Technician/Nursing Assistant - Psychiatry Day Part Time

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Summary, Job Duties & Essential Functions, Required Experience & Qualifications, Preferred Experience & Qualifications, Physical Demands, Special Notes (pay rates), Anticipated Pay Range, Company Overview, Primary Location, Schedule, Posting dates, Salary range. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have: - Position Summary: could be "About the role". - Job Duties & Essential Functions: "Responsibilities". - Required Experience & Qualifications: "Requirements" (maybe also Qualifications). Preferred Experience & Qualifications could go under "Qualifications" or "Skills". We need to decide. We have Physical Demands: could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings; we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe "Skills"? But we must only use allowed headings. So we need to fit content into those headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put: - About the role: Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Job Duties & Essential Functions. - Requirements: Required Experience & Qualifications (current BLS provider certification, PCT certification required within first year). - Qualifications: Preferred Experience & Qualifications (high school diploma, prior experience). - Skills: maybe Physical Demands and other skill-like items (ability to stand, etc.) Could also include phlebotomy competency etc. But we have pay rates etc. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed; there is mention of smoke-free environment, essential position, etc. Not really benefits. Could skip Benefits if no real content. - Pay: Anticipated Pay Range and Special Notes about rates. Include pay details. - Schedule: Primary Location US-NY-Greenport, Schedule Part-time, Posting dates maybe not needed. Also mention shifts etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove "Special Notes: Resume/CV should be included with the online application." That's application instruction; remove. Also remove "Stony Brook Medicine is a smoke-free environment..." maybe not boilerplate? It's a policy but could be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO. Might keep? It's not a benefit. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's a workplace policy. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Smoke-free is not exactly those; but could be considered legal? Might keep? I'd keep it under maybe "About the role" or "Company Overview"? Not needed. Could omit. Also remove "All Hospital positions may be subject to changes in pass days and shifts as necessary." That's schedule info maybe relevant. Could keep under Schedule. Also remove "This position may require the wearing of respiratory protection, which may prohibit the wearing of facial hair." That's a requirement maybe under Requirements. Also "This function/position maybe designated as “essential.” ..." That's maybe a note but could be under About the role. Also "Prior to start date, the selected candidate must meet the following requirements: ..." That's application instructions/pre-employment requirements; could be considered part of Requirements? Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to hiring process; but it's not application instructions like "apply here". Might keep under Requirements. But we must remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Thus we need to include details like pay rates: starting rate $24.793, PCT certification leads to $27.185, after 2-month probation $27.718, after 1 year $29.177 for PCT; for NA: after 2-month $25.326, after 1 year $26.659. Also mention that if no PCT cert at start, hired as NA at $24.793 and can obtain cert via training. Also mention Anticipated Pay Range $24.793- $29.177 Per Hour. We need to include that. Schedule: Part-time, Primary Location US-NY-Greenport, maybe mention shifts may change, essential position may require staying. Physical Demands: list many abilities. We need to format as HTML with

headings and

• for lists,

  for prose. We must not output markdown code fences. Let's craft:

  Posting start date: Aug 14, 2026 (ongoing).

  We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those. Also removed "Special Notes: Resume/CV should be included..." etc. Also removed "Stony Brook Medicine is a smoke-free environment..." maybe we removed. Also removed "All Hospital positions may be subject to changes in pass days and shifts as necessary." we kept a version about shifts may change. That's okay. Check for duplicated lines: we didn't repeat. Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" - none. Check for any missing substantive info: we included position summary, duties, required certifications, preferred qualifications, physical demands (as skills), pay rates, schedule, location. We omitted company overview description (the paragraph about Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital). That's substantive; we should include it maybe under About the role or a separate section? Not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role as additional prose. Let's add to About the role after the summary. Add a paragraph: "As part of Stony Brook Medicine, Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH) combines the best in academic and community medicine, improving access to advanced medical care for residents of the North Fork and Shelter Island. With 70 beds, SBELIH is Suffolk County’s first hospital, serving the North Fork since 1905. SBELIH provides care to 25,000 year‑round residents and expanding to 60,000 summer residents with comprehensive healthcare solutions, including behavioral health, medical‑surgical, orthopedics and general surgery, wound care, interventional pain management and GI, advanced ambulatory care, diagnostic, and physical therapy services. The hospital is also a clinical campus and training site for Stony Brook Medicine, with its first SBELIH Psychiatry resident having graduated in 2022." We can add that to About the role. Also we omitted StaffCo details; that's maybe not essential for job description; could be considered boilerplate? It's about employment arrangement; maybe not needed. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but StaffCo details are about employer arrangement; could be considered substantive but not typical job description. However it's part of the posting. Might be considered boiler
