We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the description and extract relevant content. Let's identify sections: - About the role / Position Summary: The description includes "Position Summary The role of the WM/MAT Peer Mentor is to provide mentoring, guidance and support for patients..." Also "Program Operations Guidance..." etc. Could be under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll need to decide. - Responsibilities: list of duties: many bullet-like sentences. We'll extract them as
  • . - Requirements: includes QUALIFICATIONS Education And Experience Required, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required, Other Requirements, Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe part of Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. - Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits described. So we should not include Benefits section. - Pay: Not mentioned. So omit. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is mention of flexible shifts, early morning, late night, weekends, overtime, etc. That's schedule info. Could be under Schedule or Working Conditions. Since we have a Working Conditions section maybe we can include schedule details there. But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put schedule info under Schedule heading if present. The posting mentions "Be flexible to work a variety of shifts including early morning, late night, and weekends" and "Position requires some overtime, including evening and weekend work. Adjustment of work schedule may be required." So we have schedule specifics. So we can include a Schedule section. - Qualifications: we have Education And Experience Required etc. Could be separate from Requirements. But we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for those categories. We can have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct. Let's separate: Requirements could be general eligibility (certification, sobriety, background checks). Qualifications could be education/experience and preferred qualifications. Skills could be knowledge, skills, abilities. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. First, About the role: maybe a brief summary: "The Mission Of Fora Health Is To Work With Individuals, Families, And Communities To Create Freedom From Addiction..." That's organization summary, not role. Position Summary: "The role of the WM/MAT Peer Mentor is to provide mentoring, guidance and support for patients in two settings: those discharging from our 24-bed inpatient Withdrawal Management unit and those enrolled in our outpatient Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) and Ambulatory Withdrawal Management Programs. The Peer Mentor works closely with WM Case Coordinators and MAT Case Coordinators and is part of a larger interdisciplinary team that includes outreach coordinators, techs, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians. The peer also benefits from supervision and integration with the Fora Peer Mentor team. Program Operations Guidance is provided by the Medical Operations Director. Tasks are to be completed with little follow up from the Peer Mentor Supervisor or Medical Operations Director. Support takes the form of teamwork, weekly team meetings, and bi-weekly supervision (group or individual) from the Peer Mentor Supervisor with additional program specific meetings with the Medical Operation Director." We can put that under About the role. Responsibilities: list of duties from "The Primary Role Of The WM/MAT Peer Mentor Is To ..." and subsequent bullet-like sentences. Let's extract each duty: - serve as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking both to discontinue their substance use and to reduce harms from their substance use. - Recognizing the need for human connection and support in all stages of change, the Peer provides emotional support; - assisting with setting both recovery & harm reduction goals, - restructuring life and daily schedule to accommodate goals; - developing healthy support networks; - gaining access to services and community resources as needed. - To meet patients as time and schedule allow in Inpatient Withdrawal Management Unit. - To help patients connect with Fora outpatient SUD services - To connect individuals to self-help community supports and provides encouragement to develop lasting relationships in such settings. - To connect individuals to walk-in mental health or medical services as needed. - To follow up by phone/text with patients in the community who are missing MAT medication appointments & provide support & coordination with MAT team members. - To make home or phone visits to patients enrolled in the Ambulatory (OP) WM program and collaborate with AWM providers on care plans. - To accompany patients carrying their methadone take-out doses to Fora WM, who are referred by OTPs for management of withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or stimulants. - To attend community meetings and promote program awareness and outreach. - Working collaboratively with WM & MAT case coordinators, Residential Admissions team, and Outreach workers to facilitate smooth and pleasant transitions among all levels of care at Fora Health. - To collaborate with IMPACT and Emergency Department peers at OHSU Hospitals to support smooth transitions for patients between Fora inpatient hospital stays. - Additional Essential Job Functions: Work under the supervision of the Peer Mentor Supervisor and in conjunction with the Medical Operations Director, the department liaison for this position. - Attend weekly Withdrawal Management & MAT Operations Meetings. - Chart care coordination planning as appropriate in electronic medical record. - Follow agency policies and procedures provided by Fora Health, including but not limited to: Fraud, Waste and Abuse, Conflict of Interest, Boundaries, Ethics, Confidentiality, Drug-Free Workplace and Harassment Policies. - Attend training and meetings as scheduled and required by supervisor. - If deemed eligible to drive a company car, do so responsibly, with safety being the priority and maintain your clean driving record to continue in this capacity. - Special projects and other duties assigned. We'll put these as list items. Requirements: maybe includes Supervisory Functions (none) and other requirements like certification, sobriety, background checks, drug test, DMV, cell phone, flexibility. Let's extract: - Certification through a recognized certification board that may include and is not limited to MHACBO, or the State of Oregon including CRM, PSS and THW. - Internal hires have 6 months to attain this certification, and external hires will need to be certified upon hire. - All hires must maintain certification as required by the role. - Other Requirements: For employees with a history of substance use disorder, Fora Health’s policy requires certification of a minimum of two years of sobriety for this position. - Ability to pass a pre-employment or for cause drug tests. - Ability to pass DHS criminal background and DMV checks. - Position will require some amount of regular connection to work via cell phone to answer questions and respond to internal and external contacts. - Be flexible to work a variety of shifts including early morning, late night, and weekends (but that's schedule; maybe we move to Schedule). - Supervisory Functions: This position has no supervisory responsibilities. We could put schedule items under Schedule heading. Qualifications: Education And Experience Required (same as certification). Might be overlapping with Requirements. But we can treat Qualifications as education/experience and preferred qualifications. Let's extract: - Education And Experience Required: Certification through a recognized certification board that may include and is not limited to MHACBO, or the State of Oregon including CRM, PSS and THW. Internal hires have 6 months to attain this certification, and external hires will need to be certified upon hire.

We'll put these as list items under Skills. Schedule: includes flexible shifts, early morning, late night, weekends, overtime, evening and weekend work, adjustment of work schedule may be required. We'll list as bullet points. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    and sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. No markdown. We'll output something like:

    We should not include Benefits, Pay. Check that we have real content for each. Now craft the content. About the role paragraph: combine position summary and program operations guidance. Let's write:

    The WM/MAT Peer Mentor provides mentoring, guidance and support for patients discharging from the 24‑bed inpatient Withdrawal Management unit and for those enrolled in the outpatient Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) and Ambulatory Withdrawal Management programs. The role works closely with WM and MAT Case Coordinators, is part of an interdisciplinary team that includes outreach coordinators, techs, nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians, and receives supervision and integration with the Fora Peer Mentor team. Program operations guidance is provided by the Medical Operations Director, with tasks completed with minimal follow‑up from the Peer Mentor Supervisor or Medical Operations Director. Support includes teamwork, weekly team meetings, and bi‑weekly supervision (group or individual) from the Peer Mentor Supervisor, plus additional program‑specific meetings with the Medical Operations Director.

    That seems good. Responsibilities list: we need to capture each duty as separate
  • . We'll condense but preserve all substantive info. Let's list: - Serve as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking to discontinue substance use and reduce harms from substance use. - Provide emotional support, assist with setting recovery and harm‑reduction goals, restructure life and daily schedule to accommodate goals, develop healthy support networks, and help gain access to services and community resources as needed. - Meet patients as time and schedule allow in the Inpatient Withdrawal Management Unit. - Help patients connect with Fora outpatient SUD services. - Connect individuals to self‑help community supports and encourage lasting relationships in those settings. - Connect individuals to walk‑in mental health or medical services as needed. - Follow up by phone/text with community patients who miss MAT medication appointments, providing support and coordinating with MAT team members. - Make home or phone visits to patients enrolled in the Ambulatory (OP) WM program and collaborate with AWM providers on care plans. - Accompany patients carrying methadone take‑out doses to Fora WM for those referred by OTPs for management of withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or stimulants. - Attend community meetings and promote program awareness and outreach. - Work collaboratively with WM & MAT case coordinators, Residential Admissions team, and Outreach workers to facilitate smooth transitions among all levels of care at Fora Health. - Collaborate with IMPACT and Emergency Department peers at OHSU Hospitals to support smooth transitions for patients between Fora inpatient hospital stays. -
