We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. We removed many.
We must preserve all substantive information. Need to ensure we don't lose any important details.
Let's extract details precisely.
About the role:
From "Description Of Job": "You are required to work at your assigned work location during your scheduled work times. Monday- Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please note: Work arrangements are subject to change at any time." That's schedule but also part of description.
Then: "The BHA will provide oversight and coordinate service standards across the hundreds of behavioral health programs currently administered by multiple state agencies and the Judicial Branch. The BHA will also work to ensure the recommendations that resulted from the work of the Behavioral Health Task Force (BHTF) and multiple ancillary projects evolving out of the work of the BHTF are honored and implemented, to ensure and meet our vision of having a comprehensive, equitable, effective continuum of behavioral health services that meets the needs of all Coloradans. The Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) is responsible for policy development, service provision and coordination, program monitoring and evaluation, and administrative oversight for the public behavioral health system. BHA funds, supports, and monitors numerous mental health and substance abuse community programs and providers, and reviews and designates the State’s 27-65 providers and licenses substance use disorder service providers. BHA executes the State’s federal responsibilities as the State Mental Health Authority and the State Substance Abuse Authority for the purposes of administering federal mental health and substance abuse block grant funds."
That's about the role.
Also "What You'll Be Doing The purpose of the Program Assistant II position is to serve as the primary operational and administrative lead, providing comprehensive support to the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) executive leader and their units. This role is responsible for managing confidential information, ensuring the executive leader is organized and on schedule, coordinating meetings and travel, and serving as the first point of contact for all key stakeholders, including citizens and legislators. Furthermore, the position oversees general office procedures, acts as a liaison to other departmental offices (OIT, HR, Payroll), manages inter-office relations, develops timelines and tracks projects, and handles all budget and expense coordination, including P-card purchases and invoice processing. The incumbent functions with a high degree of independence, analyzing complicated data and designing operational workflows to manage the executive's strategic priorities."
That's also about role but could be responsibilities. We'll split: About the role = BHA description and purpose. Responsibilities = detailed duties.
Now Responsibilities: We have bullet-like paragraphs under Executive Leadership/Team Support, Behavioral Health Administration Liaison, Project & Budget Management, Administrative Support. We'll convert each bullet point to under a
- . Might need to group under heading Responsibilities with subheadings? The instruction only says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. It doesn't forbid subheadings inside? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should not create additional headings beyond those. So we can have a single Responsibilities section with a
- containing all duty items. We'll need to extract each duty as a list item.
Let's list duties from the text:
