We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Requirements, Responsibilities? Actually we need to parse the posting.
We have sections: Requirements (list of qualifications). Also there is "Schedule", "Pay", "Benefits". Also there is "About Merakey". Also there is "Responsibilities"? The posting includes "The Program Lead plays a critical role..." which is description; also "Staff Management", "Client Care and Safety", "Specific Job Functions". Those could be responsibilities.
We need to use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines (the posting appears duplicated). We need to deduplicate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.

Then About Merakey: "Merakey is a non-profit provider of developmental, behavioral health, and education services. More than 8,000 employees provide support to nearly 40,000 individuals and families throughout 12 states across the country each year. Click here to watch a video about Merakey. Merakey strictly follows a zero-tolerance policy for abuse. Merakey is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer!

Moreover, we are committed to creating teams that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. Merakey welcomes all Veterans to apply!"
We need to remove EEO boilerplate etc. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the EEO statement (the long equal opportunity paragraph). Also remove "Click here to watch a video about Merakey." maybe considered navigation? It's a link but maybe keep? It's not essential? It's a call to action; maybe keep as part of About Merakey? It's not boilerplate but it's a link; but we can keep it as part of description. However "Click here to watch a video about Merakey." is likely considered navigation/link; but not explicitly prohibited. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That link could be considered navigation; but it's part of About Merakey description. I'd keep it as it's substantive? It's just a link to video; but maybe it's okay.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: The posting appears twice; we need to deduplicate.
We need to decide sections: We have Requirements (list). We have Responsibilities (maybe combine Staff Management, Client Care and Safety, Specific Job Functions). Could also have "Job Functions" as separate? But we prefer few substantive sections.
We have Schedule and Pay (Earn). We have Benefits. We have About Merakey (company description). Also maybe "Qualifications" same as Requirements; but we can use Requirements heading.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual schedule and pay.
Thus sections:
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.

We have Schedule and Pay (Earn). We have Benefits. We have About Merakey (company description). Also maybe "Qualifications" same as Requirements; but we can use Requirements heading.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual schedule and pay.
Thus sections: Requirements
(list), Responsibilities
(list), Schedule
(p), Pay
(p), Benefits
(list), About Merakey
(p). Possibly also "Qualifications" but we already have Requirements.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For schedule and pay we use
.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include all requirements items, schedule text, pay text, benefits items, about Merakey text (excluding EEO boilerplate). Also include the responsibilities details: Staff Management, Client Care and Safety, Specific Job Functions.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract requirements list items:
- Must be 18 years old.
- Must have a verifiable High School diploma/G.E.D.
- 1-3 total years of experience working in a human services residential setting
- Willingness to obtain NADSP Certification obtained within first year of hire, if required
We could also include "Must Possess: Excellent interpersonal, communication, and conflict resolution skills ..." but those are more skills/responsibilities; they appear under "Must Possess:" after description. Those could go under Responsibilities or Skills. But we have a Responsibilities section; we could include those as part of responsibilities list.
Better to treat "Must Possess:" as skills/qualifications; but we already have Requirements. Could add them to Requirements as well. However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can combine all requirement-like items into Requirements list.
Thus Requirements list items:
- Must be 18 years old.
- Must have a verifiable High School diploma/G.E.D.
- 1-3 total years of experience working in a human services residential setting
- Willingness to obtain NADSP Certification obtained within first year of hire, if required
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and conflict resolution skills
- Ability to prioritize tasks, manage multiple responsibilities, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
