PSYCHIATRIC TECHNICIAN (SAFETY) - Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to extract substantive content: Department Information (Vision, Mission, etc.) maybe as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of the position. The posting includes "Job Description And Duties" which is substantive. Also includes "Department Information Vision..." etc. Also includes "This advertisement is for a Psychiatric Technician (Safety) position(s) located at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, Kern County." Also includes "Please indicate the position number on your application: 915-213-8253-XXX." That's metadata; we can fold into short
or drop. Also "Note: Main communication for this position will be through email. Please ensure you have a valid email address on your application." That's application instruction; we should remove. Also "This part-time position will be working 20 hours per week." That's schedule; we can include Schedule section. Also "The monthly part-time salary range for this position is $3,067 to $3,921.50." That's Pay section. Also "Department Website: https://cchcs.ca.gov/careers" maybe minor metadata.
Also there is PLP 2025 details about salary reduction etc. That's substantive? It mentions salary changes; but it's about policy. Might be considered part of Pay? It says "Salaries do not reflect the recent changes." Might be considered note. We could include in Pay section as note.
Also there is "Under the supervision of the Supervising Registered Nurse II/III, Correctional Facility, Unit Supervisor (Safety), or Senior Psychiatric Technician (Safety), the Psychiatric Technician (PT) (Safety) organizes and provides a basic level of general nursing and behavioral and psychiatric nursing care to patients..." That's duties.
Also "The PT (Safety), pursuant to the PT scope of practice and in collaboration with the health care team, ensures the delivery of appropriate and timely health care to patients." etc.
Also "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement ." That's reference; we can ignore.
Also there is EEO boilerplate; we need to remove.
Also there is "CDCR and CCHCS are committed to building an inclusive respectful workplace." etc. That's about department values; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the Department". But we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put department vision/mission under About the role? Or maybe we can create a section "About the role" that includes description of the role and department context. The responsibilities/duties can be under Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills maybe not present explicitly; we could omit those sections if no specific content. Benefits not mentioned; we should not create Benefits section unless present. Pay and Schedule we have.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (including department vision/mission and maybe description), Responsibilities (duties), Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create headings with filler. All sections have real content.
We need to use
for each section heading. Then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the vision, mission statements exactly as given? We can include them as prose.
We need to include the department website maybe as a link? It's substantive; we can include as
with . That's allowed.
We need to include the position location and maybe position number? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We could include a short
with location and position number.
We must remove application instructions (email note). Also remove EEO boilerplate. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Department Information Vision: "We enhance public safety and promote successful community reintegration through education, treatment and active participation in rehabilitative and restorative justice programs."
- Mission: "To facilitate the successful reintegration of the individuals in our care back to their communities equipped with the tools to be drug-free, healthy, and employable members of society by providing education, treatment, rehabilitative, and restorative justice programs, all in a safe and humane environment."
- Additional statements: "CDCR and CCHCS are committed to transforming the correctional landscape to create safer, more professional, and more fulfilling environments for our employees, the incarcerated population, and those supervised in our communities. Through systemwide improvements grounded in proven and emerging practices, we aim to strengthen rehabilitation, enhance workplace satisfaction, and support successful reentry into the community through our institutions, parole, and community partnerships. Our shared mission is to promote safety, wellness, and human dignity while fostering positive change for all those who live and work within our institutions and communities"
- Inclusion statement: "CDCR and CCHCS are committed to building an inclusive respectful workplace. We are determined to attract and hire candidates from all communities and empower employees from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and personal experiences. We are proud to foster inclusion and drive collaborative efforts at all levels of the Department. Across our organization, our programs work cooperatively to provide the highest level of health care possible to a diverse correctional population. We encourage creativity and ingenuity while treating others fairly, honestly, and with respect, all of which are critical to the success of the CDCR and CCHCS mission."
- Position info: "This advertisement is for a Psychiatric Technician (Safety) position(s) located at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, Kern County. Please indicate the position number on your application: 915-213-8253-XXX." (We can fold position number into short p.)
- Schedule: "This part-time position will be working 20 hours per week."
- Pay: "The monthly part-time salary range for this position is $3,067 to $3,921.50."
- PLP 2025: "Effective July 1, 2025, in accordance with the applicable Memorandum of Understanding, the Personal Leave Program 2025 (PLP 2025) was implemented in response to the status of the State budget. PLP 2025 requires each full-time employee in Bargaining Unit 18 , and related Excluded, Exempt and Statutory Exempt employees, will have their base salary reduced by 3 percent and will receive 5 PLP 2025 leave credits monthly through June 2027. Salaries do not reflect the recent changes. Part-time employees are subject to the same conditions as full-time employees, on a prorated basis equivalent to their time-base. Permanent intermittent employees are subject to the same condition as full-time employees, based on the number of hours worked in the pay period."
- Job Description And Duties: Under supervision... etc. Let's extract the duties paragraph(s):
"Under the supervision of the Supervising Registered Nurse II/III, Correctional Facility, Unit Supervisor (Safety), or Senior Psychiatric Technician (Safety), the Psychiatric Technician (PT) (Safety) organizes and provides a basic level of general nursing and behavioral and psychiatric nursing care to patients in accordance with the Mental Health Program Guide, policies and procedures, and regulations in a variety of correctional health care settings.
The PT (Safety), pursuant to the PT scope of practice and in collaboration with the health care team, ensures the delivery of appropriate and timely health care to patients.
The PT (Safety) provides basic level of general nursing and behavioral and psychiatric nursing care to patients under valid authorization by a provider’s order and the delegation and clinical direction of the Registered Nurse (RN), provides support to the care team for daily health care operations, and communicates effectively with patients and other members of the health care team.
The PT (Safety) is responsible for addressing the ongoing needs of patients, working with the members of the larger health care team, and promoting the efficient, appropriate, and cost-effective use of health care resources."
We can turn these into a list (
- ) each duty.
Also there is "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement ." That's not substantive; we can ignore.
Now we need to decide sections:
About the role: Could include department vision/mission, inclusion statement, position location, maybe department website.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Pay: include salary range and PLP 2025 note.
Schedule: 20 hours per week.
We should not create Benefits, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
We'll produce:
