for sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing position supports Diversion First within Jail Diversion Team, part of team, etc. Also description of CSB, vision, Fairfax County. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in
. - Responsibilities: Illustrative Duties list. That's a list of duties. Use
- .
- Requirements: Employment Standards Minimum Qualifications? Also Certificates And Licenses Required, Necessary Special Requirements, Physical Requirements, Selection Procedure? Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We need to decide.
We have sections: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Benefits described: foreign language stipend, clinical supervision stipend, license/certification reimbursement, etc. Also mention competitive wage and benefits package earlier but no specific pay amount. So Benefits section with list.
Pay: Not specified specific salary; only "highly competitive wage". That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "highly competitive wage and benefits package" but no number. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not create Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit.
Qualifications: Minimum qualifications (high school/GED + 1 year human services experience). Also certificates/licenses required (CPRS, RPRS, Driver's License, CPR, MANDT). Also Necessary Special Requirements (background checks, TB screening, emergency/essential). Also Physical Requirements. Also Selection Procedure. Could be under Qualifications.
Skills: Required Knowledge Skills And Abilities list. That's a list of knowledge, skills, abilities. Could be under Skills.
We also have "Preferred Qualifications" (current certification as RPRS, at least 1 year experience). Could be under Qualifications as preferred.
We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.

- . For prose paragraphs we use
. Let's extract content precisely. About the role: Combine first paragraphs: "This position supports the efforts of Diversion First within the Jail Diversion Team.

We strive to create a work environment that facilitates professional growth by broadening your skill base with extensive training and development, modeling best practices in employee relations, employee recognition programs and advancement opportunities along with providing a highly competitive wage and benefits package.

More information about CSB Services may be found at Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board Community Services Board (fairfaxcounty.gov)."

Must maintain detailed documentation in an electronic health record meeting state, local and federal performance contract and licensing expectations." That seems more about role/responsibilities. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we already have Responsibilities list. We'll keep About the role as earlier generic description; the Jail Diversion Team description could be part of About the role as well. However to avoid duplication, we can incorporate that into About the role. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include it in About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s) maybe two paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: Illustrative Duties list. We'll extract each duty: - Leads, facilitates, or co-facilitates peer support groups or other education or support groups with a wellness or recovery focus, including preparing materials and developing curriculum; - Assists individuals served in developing a self-directed recovery plan, (including Medicaid billable Recovery, Resiliency, and Wellness (RRW) plans) and enacting their plans; - May collaborate with other service providers including Case Managers, Therapists, Nurses, Psychiatrists, and other partners; - Service locations are varied and may include outpatient program sites, crisis programs, residential treatment programs, in the community, telehealth, and justice system settings; - Provides navigation services for individuals, families, and other concerned persons, identifying and linking them to community resources that support the individual’s goals and interests, including navigating crisis systems of care; - Collaborates as needed with other health care providers in providing coordinated services; - Conducts outreach and engagement activities to connect with individuals that may benefit from behavioral health services; - Provides follow-up support after mental health and/or substance use emergencies, assisting individuals to learn skills, access resources, and receive emotional support to avoid future crises.
