Program Coordinator (4th R)
City of Sacramento · Sacramento, CA · 4 wk ago
OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse the job posting.
The posting includes:
- THE POSITION description: overview of role: Program Coordinator for 4th "R" responsible for overseeing a program that provides care and enrichment for children ages 5 to 12 outside of regular school hours, including before and after school, during holidays, and over the summer. This position involves planning and managing age-appropriate activities, supervising and training staff, ensuring the program complies with state licensing and safety regulations, and maintaining effective communication with families. Additionally, this position handles administrative tasks such as accounting, enrollment, and maintaining necessary records. Their primary goal of the Program Coordinator is to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment that fosters children's social, emotional, and academic growth.
- IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT: description of ideal candidate: dedicated and experienced leader with strong background in school-age education, excellent organizational and communication skills, proven ability to manage and mentor staff, deep understanding of child development, licensing regulations, best practices in out-of-school-time programming, passionate about creating safe, inclusive, enriching environment, strong administrative skills including budgeting, scheduling, maintaining program compliance, building positive relationships with families, staff, community. Also includes a line: "To coordinate and direct recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, or other special community programs and activities in a facility or site, or to coordinate and direct a City-wide program or service in a special programming area."
- SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED: description of supervision.
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities: a long list of duties.
- Qualifications: Knowledge of: list of topics; Ability To: list; Experience And Education: two years leadership experience, college-level courses substitution, proof of education, special qualifications (driver license), assessments (physical, background check, drug test, TB), training (Mandatory Reporter), Physical Demands And Work Conditions, Probationary Period.
- THE SELECTION PROCEDURE: details about application process, etc. This is boilerplate/application instructions; we need to remove application instructions. The instruction says: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the selection procedure section entirely (application instructions). Also drop "THE SELECTION PROCEDURE" and everything under it.
We need to keep substantive info: role description, ideal candidate, supervision, duties, qualifications, knowledge, abilities, experience, education, special qualifications, assessments, training, physical demands, work conditions, probationary period.
We need to map to sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe knowledge/abilities?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info in posting. So we should not create those sections unless posting actually states them. There's no mention of benefits, pay, schedule. So we omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also "Qualifications" and "Skills" could be separate. The posting has "Qualifications" section with Knowledge of, Ability To, Experience And Education, Special Qualifications, Assessments, Training, Physical Demands, Probationary Period. Could split into Requirements (maybe experience/education) and Qualifications (knowledge/abilities) and Skills (maybe abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections.
We could combine: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (knowledge, abilities, experience, education, special qualifications, assessments, training, physical demands, probation). That seems enough. Could also include a "Skills" section if we extract skills from abilities list. But we can incorporate abilities into Qualifications.
We must not create headings with filler text. So we need to ensure each heading has substantive content.
Thus output:
preserving the text exactly (or close). Must not lose details.
We need to be careful not to include duplicated lines. The posting has some duplicated lines? Not obvious.
We need to remove boilerplate like "THE POSITION", "IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT", etc. But we keep the content.
We need to format as HTML fragment only.
Let's extract the substantive content.
First, About the role: combine THE POSITION paragraph(s). The text:
"The Program Coordinator for 4th "R" is responsible for overseeing a program that provides care and enrichment for children ages 5 to 12 outside of regular school hours, including before and after school, during holidays, and over the summer. This position involves planning and managing age-appropriate activities, supervising and training staff, ensuring the program complies with state licensing and safety regulations, and maintaining effective communication with families. Additionally, this position handles administrative tasks such as accounting, enrollment, and maintaining necessary records. Their primary goal of the Program Coordinator is to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment that fosters children's social, emotional, and academic growth."
We should keep that as a paragraph.
Second, IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT could be part of About the role or Qualifications? It describes ideal candidate traits. Could be part of About the role or Qualifications. Since we have Qualifications section, we could incorporate ideal candidate statements there as part of qualifications (skills/attributes). But we already have Qualifications with knowledge, abilities, experience, etc. The ideal candidate statement includes: dedicated and experienced leader with strong background in school-age education; excellent organizational and communication skills; proven ability to manage and mentor staff effectively; deep understanding of child development, licensing regulations, best practices in out-of-school-time programming; passionate about creating a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment that supports children's growth and learning; strong administrative skills, including budgeting, scheduling, and maintaining program compliance, while building positive relationships with families, staff, and the broader community. Also includes line: "To coordinate and direct recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, or other special community programs and activities in a facility or site, or to coordinate and direct a City-wide program or service in a special programming area." That seems like a duty/responsibility.
We could treat that line as part of Responsibilities.
Thus we need to parse Essential Duties And Responsibilities list.
Let's extract the duties list:
- Plan, organize, coordinate, and direct various recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, youth development, youth employment, or other community service activities and programs at neighborhood recreation, sports, or community facilities.
- Design, evaluate, and recommend continuance, modification, or cancellation of recreation, educational, child care, special events, and community service activities and programs.
- Determine facility, equipment, scheduling, and staffing requirements for programs and events.
- Coordinate departmental activities with related activities of other departments or outside agencies and groups.
- Determine needs and priorities of neighborhoods/customers and plan programs consistent with those needs and priorities.
- Provide information and referrals to the neighborhoods/customers concerning available programs, including the development and distribution of brochures, flyers, and other promotional materials.
- Provide workshop instruction and in-service training for lower-level staff.
- Prepare and maintain written reports, records, and memorandums related to assigned programs or facilities.
- Prepare and compile materials for obtaining grant funds.
- Coordinate and conduct part-time and seasonal recruitments.
- Make oral presentations to various groups and/or boards.
- Develop and coordinate fund-raising events.
- Supervise recreation leaders, volunteers, and other assigned personnel in activities.
- Manage and operate a sports facility or a neighborhood community center.
- Respond to inquiries from the public and other agencies.
- Interview, select, evaluate, and oversee participants and activities related to the program.
- Perform related duties as required.
Also earlier there is a line: "To coordinate and direct recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, or other special community programs and activities in a facility or site, or to coordinate and direct a City-wide program or service in a special programming area." This could be a duty as well.
Also earlier in THE POSITION: planning and managing age-appropriate activities, supervising and training staff, ensuring compliance, maintaining communication with families, administrative tasks such as accounting, enrollment, maintaining records, goal to create safe supportive environment.
We could incorporate those into Responsibilities as well.
Thus Responsibilities section will include all duties from THE POSITION, IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT line, and Essential Duties list.
We must avoid duplication. Some items may overlap: e.g., "planning and managing age-appropriate activities" similar to "Plan, organize, coordinate, and direct various recreation...". We could keep both but risk duplication. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate similar statements. We need to decide which to keep. Perhaps keep the Essential Duties list as it's more comprehensive, and incorporate the unique points from THE POSITION not covered: "overseeing a program that provides care and enrichment for children ages 5 to 12 outside of regular school hours, including before and after school, during holidays, and over the summer." That's a specific scope. Also "ensuring the program complies with state licensing and safety regulations" (covered partially by "ensuring the program complies with state licensing and safety regulations" maybe not in list). Also "maintaining effective communication with families." Also "handles administrative tasks such as accounting, enrollment, and maintaining necessary records." Also "primary goal ... create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment that fosters children's social, emotional, and academic growth." That's a goal, could be included.
Thus we will include those unique points.
Now Qualifications section: we need to include Knowledge of list, Ability To list, Experience And Education, Special Qualifications (Driver License), Assessments (physical, criminal background check, drug test, TB screening), Training (Mandatory Reporter), Physical Demands And Work Conditions, Probationary Period.
We need to preserve all details.
Let's extract Knowledge of list:
"Knowledge of: Recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, youth development or employment, or other community service activities, such as aquatics, sports, games, arts, crafts, dramatics, music, or other special community programs. Principles of supervision and training. First aid and safety practices. English usage, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Common computer software packages. Organization, procedures, and operating details of the department. Facilities, equipment, and staffing needed to provide recreation, educational enrichment, child care, special events, or special community services to the community."
We need to keep each item as separate bullet? Could be one bullet with semicolons but better to split.
Ability To list:
"Ability To Read, write, and speak the English language at a level necessary for efficient job performance. Organize and direct a variety of recreation, youth development or employment, educational enrichment, child care, special events, or special community service activities and programs. Establish and maintain cooperative relationships with those contacted in the course of work. Keep records and prepare reports. Express and relate ideas clearly and concisely
