We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We need to parse the job posting. The posting includes: - Intro about organization: "Lutheran Community Services NW is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving communities throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho with a wide range of services for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. All LCSNW team members will contribute to our mission of partnering with individuals, families and communities for health, justice and hope" - "WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU: As an employer of choice, we’re deeply committed to supporting our employees—because when you’re empowered, our mission thrives. We provide resources, tools, and care that allow you to focus on what matters most: delivering Health, Justice, and Hope to the communities we serve. We’re proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and peace of mind" Then list of benefits: - A 37.5 per hour work week to ensure work/life balance - Medical, dental, vision, and prescription benefits to keep you and your loved ones healthy - Employer-paid short- and long-term disability insurance - Life insurance coverage at no cost to you - Up to 2 weeks of vacation in your first year (based on hours worked) - Up to 2 weeks of sick leave (based on hours worked) - 12 paid agency recognized holidays - 2 floating holidays to use your way - 403(b) retirement plan with employer matching (eligibility applies) - Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family - Potential eligibility for Student Loan Forgiveness through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status - "HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT: The Multicultural Counseling Department is dedicated to serving culturally diverse populations with outpatient mental health support.

Our goal is to enhance self-efficacy, support family functions and dynamics, reduce social isolation, and foster greater integration within families and the community. This role will vary services to provide engagement support, parenting education, connections to mental health services and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment, case management services, and the recruitment and facilitation of emotional support and cultural adjustment groups within the community." Then list of duties (seems like bullet points but not bullet). Actually after that they list: - Case Management services by coordinating community services, provide referrals, monitor progress, and advocate for clients. - Co-lead adjustment, parenting, and youth-focused support groups. - Guide clients in accessing educational and job opportunities support. - Access to Essential Services – Assist clients in enrolling in Medicaid and other essential services. - Encourage adherence to treatment plans and monitor medication compliance. - Conduct outreach, build connections, and offer culturally responsive support. - Provide mental health education, participate in training, and advocate for client needs. Then "HOW YOU WILL BE A GREAT FIT:" with requirements. - Minimum of 1 year of related experience; working with refugee/immigrant youth and families, coordinating treatment teams, strengths-based planning, or similar - HS diploma or equivalent - Certified Peer Support Specialist (PSS) or Family Peer Support Specialist (FSS) is required upon start - Demonstrated fluency in English and Arabic, Dari, Spanish, or Kurdish - Basic mastery of business applications and productivity suites - Demonstrates resilience, awareness and self-regulation in navigating challenges, conflict and obstacles/barriers. - Thrives in a diverse and multicultural environment; works with cross-functional teams to develop and implement strategies to enhance end-user experiences throughout the service lifecycle - Demonstrates exceptional commitment to serving and advocating for diverse and marginalized populations - Successfully completes tasks in a low / moderately noisy environment - Interacts with others and performs tasks in-person and through the use of technology, with moderate periods of stationary activity and moderate periods of increased physical activity including and not limited to sitting, walking, standing - Moves equipment/materials weighing up to 25 pounds - Travels between worksites regularly; responsible for transporting clients in personal and/or agency vehicle, which requires valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and motor vehicle records clearance - Works in a variety of settings, including and not limited to LCSNW office locations, partner agency and community-based settings, client home/community settings, outdoor settings in varying weather conditions, and faith-based settings such as churches - Meets LCSNW criminal background clearance requirements and other job-relevant clearances as required by the State or program Then "Thank you! We sincerely appreciate your interest..." etc. That's boilerplate to remove. We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine), Benefits (list). Pay: we have "A 37.5 per hour work week" but that's not pay rate; it's hours per week. No explicit pay amount. So we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states pay. It does not state salary/hourly wage. So omit Pay. Schedule: we have work week 37.5 hours; that could be schedule. The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It states "A 37.5 per hour work week to ensure work/life balance". That's schedule info (hours per week). So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: we have list. About the role: we have intro paragraph about organization and mission. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: we have the description of role and duties. Requirements: we have qualifications list. Skills: maybe separate skills like "Basic mastery of business applications and productivity suites", "Demonstrated fluency...", "Demonstrates resilience..." etc. But we could combine into Requirements or Skills. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including requirements and skills), Benefits, Schedule. That's 5 sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting. We need to format using

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus:

    About the role

    But note that the benefits list is separate; we might keep the intro about benefits in About the role but then also have Benefits section. That's okay; we just need to preserve all info. The sentence about benefits is generic; we can keep it in About the role. Then Responsibilities: we need to list duties. The description includes prose plus bullet list. We'll put a

    for the prose description then

    • for each duty. Responsibilities heading:
