for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none except maybe the keyword list at end; that's not boilerplate but maybe considered metadata; we should include? It's not a section heading; maybe we can include as a
with keywords? It's not explicitly required to keep but "Preserve ALL substantive information". The keyword list is substantive? It's like tags for search; could be considered metadata but still part of posting. I'd include it as a
maybe under a generic section? But we have no heading for keywords. Could just add a
at end.
But we must not create sections with filler. So we will only create sections where we have content.
Let's draft:

Schedule
Part‑time, 16 hours per week; 12‑hour day shifts (6:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.).
We might also include the career ladder info and location/department/status. That is substantive. Where to put? Could be under About the role or a separate section like Position Details. But we don't have a heading for Position Details; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "Position Details" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes those specific ones; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit location, department, status into existing sections.
We could add a under About the role that includes location, department, status, shift info? But shift already in Schedule. Location/Department/Status could be in About the role.
Let's adjust About the role to include: Position: Patient Care Technician-PCT (but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; but we can mention it in prose). Location: Mercy Hospital Southeast, Cape Girardeau, MO. Department: Medical Telemetry. Status: Part-Time, 16 hours/week. Shift: 12 Hour Days (6:30a - 7:00p). However shift is also in Schedule; we might duplicate. Better to keep shift only in Schedule, and location/department/status in About the role.
But note: Schedule section already includes shift; we might not need to repeat shift in About the role. So About the role: mention position title, location, department, status (part-time, 16 hrs/week). Also mention career ladder info: "This job profile/title may be updated along UAP Career ladder to offer candidate most appropriate role per their individual experience level if additional qualifications are met. UAP Career Ladder positions include Patient Care Associate-PCA, Patient Care Technician-PCT, and Nurse Technician-NT". That's substantive.
Let's incorporate.
Thus About the role paragraph could be long; but we can split into multiple
if needed. The rule: use
for prose. So we can have multiple
under same heading? Probably okay.
We'll produce:
