We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when there is real content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From description: There's a "Position Description" paragraph: "Personal Care Attendant is responsible for providing personal care..." That's about the role. So we can have
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From description: There's a "Position Description" paragraph: "Personal Care Attendant is responsible for providing personal care..." That's about the role. So we can have About the role
with that paragraph.
Then "Primary Responsibilities" list: we can put under Responsibilities
with - items.
Then "Qualifications" section: includes "Will Demonstrate the following Skills/Qualifications:" then bullet list of skills/qualifications. Also "Education/Experience Requirements" list. Also "Physical Demands & Environment". Also "Exclusion from Federal Programs". Also "As term of employment..." etc. We need to decide which sections to create: Qualifications, Skills, Requirements? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we can have Qualifications, Skills, Requirements separate if content exists.
We have "Will Demonstrate the following Skills/Qualifications:" list: Strong organizational skills..., ability to read..., accepting attitude..., professional attitude. That's skills. So we can put under
Skills
with list.
Then "Education/Experience Requirements" list: Successfully complete training courses, competency exam, HS diploma or GED preferred, Healthcare experience preferred, CNA: 1 year preferred, Provide or obtain current CPR certificate required, Meets state compliance requirements. That's requirements. So Requirements
with list.
Then "Physical Demands & Environment" could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in the list of allowed headings, but we could incorporate into Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Physical Demands & Environment into Requirements or maybe into Qualifications? Probably better to add a section "Requirements" that includes education/experience and physical demands. But we already have Requirements for education/experience; we could add physical demands as part of that same list. That seems okay.
Then "Exclusion from Federal Programs" and "As term of employment..." maybe not needed as separate heading; could be part of Requirements or maybe omitted? It's substantive but not fitting headings. Could include as a paragraph under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably better to add a paragraph under Requirements after the list.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. The description includes "Blessings4Ever Home Care Agency is an Equal Opportunity Employer" and the acknowledgment statement. Those are boilerplate/EEO; we should remove them. Also the statement about job description not all-inclusive etc. That's boilerplate; remove.
We must preserve all substantive information; we need to keep the exclusion from federal programs and the acknowledgment? The acknowledgment "As term of employment, I acknowledge that I have reviewed and am able to perform the essential functions of the position listed above." That's like a signature statement; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a standard acknowledgment. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This acknowledgment might be considered legal boilerplate; but it's not EEO. However it's a statement that employee acknowledges ability to perform essential functions. Might be considered legal. Safer to remove? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The acknowledgment is substantive? It's basically a statement that the employee acknowledges they can perform essential functions. Might be considered part of job description but could be considered boilerplate. I'd keep it as a paragraph under Requirements or maybe under About the role? It's not about role. Might be better to keep as a paragraph under Requirements (or maybe under a separate section like "Acknowledgement") but we don't have a heading for that. Could just include as a after the lists without a heading.
We also have "Primary Responsibilities" list includes many items; we need to turn each sentence into
- . Need to ensure we capture all responsibilities.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Supports organization’s mission by striving for excellence in all aspects of the job with a focus on positive interpersonal relationship with consumers
- Provides personal care services as established in the consumers plan of care
- Communicates with patients and their families on a regular basis
- Submits required documentation as per agency policy and procedures
- Ensures compliance of agency infection control and safety policies
- Adheres to the organization’s policy regarding absenteeism and appearance
- Performs functions including some or total assistance with the following: bathing of patient in the bed, the tub or in the shower; dressing; grooming, including care of hair, shaving and ordinary care of the nail’s teeth and mouth; toileting; this may include assisting the patient on and off the bed-pan commode or toilet walking, beyond that provided by durable medical equipment within the home and outside the home transferring from bed to chair or wheelchair; preparing of meals in accordance with modified diets, including low sugar, low fat, low salt and low residue diets; feeding; administration of medication by the patient, including prompting the patient as to time, identifying the medication for the patient, bringing the medication and any necessary supplies or equipment to the patient, opening the container for the patient, positioning the patient for medication and administration, disposing of used supplies and materials and storing the medication properly; providing routine skin care; Using medical supplies and equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs; and changing of simple dressings
- Observes, records and reports information about client’s condition and home environment
- Recognizes emergencies and follows agency procedures appropriately
- Complies with agency confidential policies; demonstrates and understanding of patients’ rights and maintains respect for patient privacy and personal property
- Documents hours worked by utilizing Electronic Visit Verification protocols
- Perform other specific tasks related as assigned
We need to split the long bullet about functions into separate list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities section currently has a paragraph that includes a list within it. We could break out each duty as separate
- . The long sentence includes many items separated by semicolons. Better to split into separate
- for each distinct duty. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep as one
- with the whole description, but that might be less readable but still preserves. The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't require splitting compound sentences. So we can keep as one
- containing the whole sentence. That's fine.
Similarly for Skills list: "Will Demonstrate the following Skills/Qualifications:" then bullet list: Strong organizational skills that reflect ability to perform and prioritize multiple tasks seamlessly with excellent attention to detail; Possesses the ability to read, write, and follow written and verbal directions and work with limited supervision.; Demonstrates an accepting and therapeutic attitude towards the sick, disabled, and the elderly and possess the maturity to deal effectively with the demands of the job.; Reflects a professional and positive attitude
We can make each as
- .
Education/Experience Requirements list: Successfully complete the training courses; Successfully complete the competency exam; High School diploma or GED preferred; Healthcare experience preferred; CNA: 1 year preferred; Provide or obtain a current CPR certificate required; Meets the state compliance requirements
Physical Demands & Environment: "Primarily working indoors with client/customer contact; use of specific equipment as braces, bedpan, crutches, electrical bed, Hoyer lift, walker, wheelchair, household appliances, vacuum cleaner etc. Employee may be required to sit, bend, stoop, use keyboard, see, talk, and hear. Ability to perform tasks involving physical activity, which may include heavy lifting and extensive bending and standing. Ability to deal effectively with stress. In compliance with applicable law, reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position."
We can incorporate that into Requirements as a paragraph after the list, or as a separate
Physical Demands
but not in allowed headings. Better to add as a paragraph under Requirements.
Exclusion from Federal Programs: "Employee may not at any time have been or be excluded from participation in any federally funded program, including Medicare and Medicaid. This is a condition of employment. Employee must immediately notify his/her manager or the Human Resource Director, if he/she is threatened with exclusion or becomes excluded from any federally funded program."
We can add as a paragraph under Requirements as well.
The acknowledgment sentence: "As term of employment, I acknowledge that I have reviewed and am able to perform the essential functions of the position listed above." Could be a paragraph under Requirements or maybe under About the role? I'd put under Requirements as a final note.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown.
We'll have:
