Recreation Therapist, CF - California Correctional Institution (CCI)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Department Information (Vision, Mission, etc). That could be "About the role" or "Department Information". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Department Information (Vision, Mission, etc). Could be "About the role". Also "Job Description And Duties" includes details about PLP 2025, salary reduction, HAM rate, recruitment stipend, referral bonus. That could be "Benefits" or "Pay" etc. Also "Responsibilities" from the description of duties: develop, implement, evaluate therapeutic recreation programs, instruct and motivate patients, monitor and document treatment progress, work with other health care providers, maintain order and supervise conduct. That's responsibilities. Also maybe "Qualifications" not present. "Skills" not present. "Pay" we have salary info: base salary reduced by 3 percent, HAM rate $9,159, recruitment stipend $10k one-time, monthly differential $5k total, referral bonus $5k. Also mention PLP 2025 leave credits. So we can have a Pay section with that info. Benefits maybe not separate; but we could include Benefits as part of Pay? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Pay and Benefits into one section? But they gave examples of headings; we can choose to include Pay and Benefits separate if content exists. We have specific pay details; benefits like recruitment stipend, referral bonus could be considered benefits. Could make a Benefits section with those stipends and bonuses. Pay section could include base salary info and HAM rate. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, navigation, legal, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Department Website:" maybe keep? It's metadata but not required; could be folded into short p or drop. Probably drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include Vision, Mission, etc maybe under About the role. Also include note about location: California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, Kern County. Position number? They said indicate position number on application: 054-220-9286-XXX. That's metadata; we could drop as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we could include a short p with location and position number? Might be considered minor metadata; we could drop it. But location is substantive? Might be useful. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Location is substantive. So we should keep it. Could be in a short p under About the role. Also note about main communication via email, ensure valid email address. That's application instruction; remove. Also note about PLP 2025 details: that's substantive; include in Pay or Benefits? It's about salary reduction and leave credits. Could be in Pay. Also note about HAM Authorization: include in Pay. Also note about recruitment and retention stipend and differential: could be Benefits. Also note about referral bonus: Benefits. Also note about "Under the general direction of the Senior Psychologist..." that's responsibilities. Also note about "You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement." that's filler; remove. Also note about "Equal Opportunity Employer" boilerplate; remove. Also note about "It is an objective of the State..." remove. Also note about "CDCR and CCHCS are committed to building an inclusive respectful workplace." That's part of Department Information; we can keep under About the role. Also note about "Across our organization, our programs work cooperatively..." keep. Also note about "We encourage creativity and ingenuity..." keep. Thus we need to craft HTML with sections:

About the role

with p containing vision, mission, location, inclusive workplace statements, etc. Then

Responsibilities

with ul li for each duty. Then

Pay

with p containing salary reduction, HAM rate, PLP leave credits. Then

Benefits

with ul li for recruitment stipend, monthly differential, referral bonus. Make sure not to include empty sections. Let's extract precise text. 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." Then CDCR and CCHCS committed to transforming correctional landscape... (paragraph). Then "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." That's all substantive. Location: "This advertisement is for a Recreation Therapist, CF position(s) located at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, Kern County." Position number: "Please indicate the position number on your application: 054-220-9286-XXX." Could fold into short p. Now Job Description And Duties: includes PLP 2025 details, HAM rate, recruitment stipend, referral bonus, and duties. Let's parse: "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 19, 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. This classification is subject to Section 5, Hiring-Above-Minimum (HAM) Authorization of the California State Civil Service Pay Scales. The authorized HAM rate for this classification is $9,159 Please note: Individuals may be eligible to receive a $10,000 one-time recruitment and retention stipend should they meet the eligibility criteria, including but not limited to remaining employed with CCHCS for six months. Additionally, individuals may be eligible to receive a monthly recruitment and retention differential during their first year with CCHCS (totaling $5,000), should they meet the eligibility criteria. IMPORTANT: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) employees may be eligible for a $5,000 referral bonus should you be selected for hire, and remain employed with CCHCS for 90 days. For a CDCR/CCHCS employee to be considered, a questionnaire must be completed to the best of your knowledge, including the referring employee’s name, classification, PERNR , and work location . The questionnaire will be provided to the selected candidate during the pre-employment process." Then duties: "Under the general direction of the Senior Psychologist, Correctional Facility (CF) (Supervisor) or Supervising Psychiatric Social Worker I, CF, the Recreation Therapist (RT), CF develops, implements, and evaluates therapeutic recreation programs for patients within California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation institutions. The RT, CF instructs and motivates patients in individual and group recreation therapy, monitors and documents treatment progress, and works with other health care providers to share recreational therapy assessment information and incorporate therapeutic recreational activities into treatment plans. The RT, CF maintains order and supervises the conduct of patients to protect and maintain the safety of persons and property." Now we need to output HTML. We'll create:

But that's a long paragraph; maybe break into multiple

for readability. The instruction: use

for prose. Could have multiple

under the section. That's fine. Better: separate vision/mission, then department commitments, then location. We'll do:
