Physical Therapist Assistant, Home Health (FT, Days)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting.

The PTA must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served by his/her department.

( E) Communicates and collaborates with supervising therapists regarding patient progress, issues, and goals. Communicates with the Scheduling Coordinator regarding scheduling needs. (E) Participates in team conferences/staff meeting. (Contractual staff shall maintain contact with supervisory staff as necessary) The above statements reflect the general duties considered necessary to describe the principle functions of the job as identified and shall not be considered as the detailed description of all the work requirements that may be inherent in the position. We need to produce sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (characteristic duties), Requirements (education, experience, licensure, clearances, CPR, driver license, flexibility), Skills (communication, interpersonal, conflict resolution, maybe physical demands?), Benefits (none given), Pay (none), Schedule (none). So we should only include sections with real content: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills maybe. Physical demands could be part of Requirements or maybe separate but not a standard heading. The instruction says use headings for those specific section names; we can include Skills if we have content. Physical demands could be part of Requirements or maybe we could add a separate section like "Physical Demands" but not in list; we should stick to allowed headings. So we can put physical demands under Requirements or maybe under Skills? Probably Requirements includes licensure, education, experience, clearances, driver license, etc. Physical demands could be part of Requirements as well (job requirements). We'll include it there. Skills: communication, interpersonal, conflict resolution. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule if not present. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for duties we list bullet points. For requirements we list bullet points. For skills we list bullet points. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each piece of info. Let's extract details. About the role (General Summary): - Under supervision of Manager of Rehabilitation Services and Physical Therapists. - Provides physical therapy treatment for assigned patients. - Must demonstrate knowledge and skills to provide care appropriate to age of patients. - Must demonstrate knowledge of principles of growth and development over life span. - Possess ability to assess data reflective of patient's status. - Interpret appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to age-specific needs. - Provide care as described in Physical Therapy Department's policies and procedures. Responsibilities (Characteristic Duties & Responsibilities): - Assists with implementing and documenting Physical Therapy treatment and progress for assigned caseload. (E) - Consults with Physical Therapists regarding patient progress. (E) - Maintains productivity standard expectation. (E) - Communicates and collaborates with supervising therapists regarding patient progress, issues, and goals. (E) - Communicates with the Scheduling Coordinator regarding scheduling needs. (E) - Participates in team conferences/staff meeting. (E) (Contractual staff shall maintain contact with supervisory staff as necessary) – we can include that note. Requirements: Education: - Associate's degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited Physical Therapy Assistant program required. Work Experience: - At least two (2) years experience as a Physical Therapy Assistant necessary. Special Employment Requirements: - Current licensure as a Physical Therapy Assistant by the PA State Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs required. - Must have indirect supervision licensure by the PA State Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. - Clearances required: - PA State Police criminal history check - PA Department of Public Welfare Child Abuse Central Register (Childline) - PA Department of Human Services FBI fingerprint clearance - PA Department of Aging FBI fingerprint clearance (if applicable) - CPR Certification must be obtained and maintained. - Good written and verbal communication skills; and interpersonal and conflict resolution skills required for effective communication with staff, patients, and families. - Valid PA driver’s license and available transportation during all working hours required. - Must exhibit flexibility in managing multifaceted requirements of position and ability to function independently in home setting. Physical Demands: - Moderate Work: duties require exerting up to twenty-five lbs. of force occasionally, and/or up to ten lbs. of force frequently, and/or a negligible amount of force constantly to lift, carry, push, pull, and move objects (i.e., occasional patient transfers). - Position involves bending, reaching, and stooping (occasionally in strained position) throughout shift. - Ability to transport self throughout facility is required. - Must be able to travel to patient’s homes as required. Accident or Health Hazards: - Occasional exposure to blood and body substances. Working Conditions: - Works in a well-lit office environment and in varying conditions in patient homes (where conditions may be less than desirable). We could incorporate Physical Demands, Accident/Health Hazards, Working Conditions into Requirements or maybe separate but not allowed headings. Probably best to include them under Requirements as they are job requirements/conditions. Skills: - Good written and verbal communication skills. - Interpersonal skills. - Conflict resolution skills. We might also include ability to assess data, interpret information, etc. But those are more about knowledge/skills; could be under Skills as well. However the instruction says use Skills heading for skills. We could include those under Skills as well. But we already have communication etc. Might be redundant. Let's include knowledge/skills under Skills as separate bullet points: ability to assess data reflective of patient's status; ability to interpret appropriate information to identify patient's requirements relative to age-specific needs; knowledge of principles of growth and development over life span; ability to provide care appropriate to age of patients; ability to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to age of patients served. But we already have many details; we need to preserve all substantive info. So we should include those under Skills or maybe under Requirements as knowledge requirements. The instruction says we can have Skills section; we can put those there. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Now produce HTML. We need

  for each section heading. Inside each section, we can have

  for prose, and

  • for lists. We need to decide what to put as prose vs list. For About the role: we can have a

    summarizing the general summary. Could also bullet but it's prose. We'll put a

    containing the summary sentences. For Responsibilities: we can have a

    • for each duty. For Requirements: we can have a
      • for each requirement item, possibly nested lists for clearances. For Skills: we can have a
        • for each skill. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now craft HTML. Let's write:
