Ministry/Facility Information: Mercy Care Atlanta, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and comprised of 300 plus colleagues, is a healthcare organization that provides a range of health services to underserved and vulnerable populations in the Atlanta, Georgia area. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to individuals across all demographics. Rooted in the Mercy Philosophy, we prioritize respect, integrity, compassion, and excellence in all aspects of care delivery.
Our Commitment Rooted in our Mission and Core Values, we honor the dignity of every person and recognize the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents each colleague brings. By finding common ground and embracing our differences, we grow stronger together and deliver more compassionate, person-centered care. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So remove the last paragraph about equal opportunity.
Also remove "Ministry/Facility Information:" maybe we keep as prose? It's substantive about organization. Could be part of About the role? The "About the role" heading is for description of role. Could include the purpose paragraph. The "Ministry/Facility Information" is about the organization, could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the organization". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put organization info under About the role (maybe as a brief description). Or we could omit if not fitting. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop it. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include it under About the role as a paragraph after the purpose.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications? The headings: Requirements and Qualifications both allowed. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be mandatory qualifications; Qualifications could be preferred or additional. But we have both. We need to avoid empty sections. We have Minimum Qualifications list (including certification, CPR, driver's license, transportation, 2 years experience, experience with homelessness preferred). Also we have "Strong understanding of recovery-oriented care..." etc. Those are qualifications.
We could put the mandatory items under Requirements: Georgia Certified Peer Specialist certification or eligibility within 6 months, CPR and First Aid certification, Valid Georgia driver's license, Reliable transportation, Minimum of two years peer support experience. Also maybe "Strong understanding of recovery-oriented care..." could be under Qualifications (preferred). Also "Experience working with individuals experiencing homelessness with complex social and healthcare needs preferred." could be under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we could list skills like communication, advocacy, documentation, etc. But we don't have explicit skills list; we could infer from responsibilities but we shouldn't invent. Better to omit Skills section if no specific content.
Benefits: we have Position Highlights and Benefits list. So we will create Benefits section with those items.
Pay: we have "Opportunity to get paid daily – through DailyPay". That's about pay frequency. Also maybe no explicit salary. We could include Pay section with that detail. However the rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Opportunity to get paid daily – through DailyPay". That's about pay. So we can include Pay section with that line.
Schedule: we have Employment Type: Full time, Shift: Day Shift. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with Full time, Day Shift.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with

Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills omitted.
Let's craft content.
About the role: combine Position Purpose paragraph and Ministry/Facility Information paragraph (maybe also Our Commitment? but that's EEO-ish; we removed EEO but the Commitment paragraph is about mission and values, not EEO. It says "We are an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's EEO line; we need to remove that line. The preceding sentences about honoring dignity etc are okay. We'll keep the Commitment paragraph except the EEO line. Let's extract: "Our Commitment Rooted in our Mission and Core Values, we honor the dignity of every person and recognize the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents each colleague brings. By finding common ground and embracing our differences, we grow stronger together and deliver more compassionate, person-centered care." Then after that there is the EEO line. We'll drop the EEO line.
Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: purpose and organization/commitment.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You Will Do". Use

Requirements: list of mandatory qualifications: Georgia Certified Peer Specialist certification or eligibility within six months; CPR and First Aid certification; Valid Georgia driver's license with legal ability to drive in Georgia; Reliable transportation to and from worksite; Minimum of two years peer support experience. Possibly also "Strong understanding of recovery-oriented care and psychosocial rehabilitation principles." Could be considered requirement but it's more knowledge. We'll put it under Qualifications.
Qualifications: list: Strong understanding of recovery-oriented care and psychosocial rehabilitation principles; Experience working with individuals experiencing homelessness with complex social and healthcare needs preferred.
Benefits: list from Position Highlights and Benefits.
Pay: list: Opportunity to get paid daily – through DailyPay.
Schedule: list: Full time; Day Shift.
We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Also ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Ministry/Facility Information:" heading; we just include prose.
Now produce HTML.

Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO line. Also removed "Ministry/Facility Information:" label but we kept the sentences. Good.

Check for any duplicated lines: we didn't duplicate.
Now ensure we didn't include any heading with empty content. All sections have content.
Now produce final HTML.
Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed.
Let's craft the paragraphs.
Paragraph 1 (purpose): "Mercy Care Atlanta is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Peer Support Specialist to join our mission-driven team.
