Recreation Therapist, CF- Valley State Prison, Chowchilla

OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Department Information (Vision, Mission, Commitment) maybe as About the role? The job description and duties: description of Recreation Therapist CF. Minimum Qualifications: Education. Also benefits: PLP 2025 details, HAM rate $9,159, recruitment and retention stipend $10k one-time, monthly differential $5k total, referral bonus $5k. Also note about limited term position, may be extended, Job Control Until Filled, application review dates (these are dates). Also note about email etc. We need to include sections only when real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: Could include department info (vision, mission, commitment) and location (Valley State Prison). That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: The job description and 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. - Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications? Or we could separate Requirements (like eligibility: email, etc.) but better to put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping. We have Education requirement: Equivalent to graduation from recognized college with major work in recreation or recreation therapy, supervised field work. Also registration as senior will admit applicants to exam but must produce evidence of graduation etc. That's qualification. We could put Requirements as maybe "Must have valid email address" etc. But that's minor. Better to put Qualifications for education and field work. Skills maybe not explicitly listed. Could omit Skills if no specific content. Benefits: PLP 2025 details (salary reduction 3%, 5 PLP leave credits monthly through June 2027), HAM rate $9,159, recruitment and retention stipend $10k one-time, monthly differential $5k total, referral bonus $5k. Also note about limited term position maybe not benefit. Pay: The HAM rate is a pay figure. Could put Pay section with that salary info. Also note that salaries do not reflect recent changes (PLP reduction). Might include that. Schedule: Not specified. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all details: department vision, mission, commitment, location, position number, note about email, department website, PLP 2025 details, HAM rate, stipend, referral bonus, limited term, job control until filled, application review dates, etc. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add heading for Recreation Therapist. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, legal. The posting includes an Equal Opportunity Employer block at end; we must remove that. Also remove the "Note: Main communication..."? That's not boilerplate; it's specific instruction about email. Should we keep? It's substantive info about application process. The instruction says remove application instructions. "Please write the position number on your application: 919-220-9286-XXX." That's application instruction. Also "Note: Main communication for this position will be through email. Please ensure to have a valid email address on your application." That's also application instruction. Also "CDCR/CCHCS employees are encouraged to use their existing CDCR email address on your application." Also application instruction. Also "Department Website: https://cchcs.ca.gov/careers" maybe not instruction but could be considered reference; but it's not a duty. Might be considered metadata; but we can keep as part of About the role? It's not essential job info but it's specific. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove those lines about position number, email, etc. Also remove "Department Website:" maybe not application instruction but could be considered reference; but it's not a duty. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate. However it's not about the role; it's about where to find careers. Might be considered ancillary. Safer to remove it as it's not core job description. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we remove application instructions. So we strip out lines about position number, email, department website. We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's some repeated commitment paragraphs; we need to preserve but deduplicate? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So if there are duplicate sentences, we should keep only one instance. Let's examine the text for duplicates. The posting includes: Department Information Vision We enhance public safety... Mission To facilitate... Commitment The California Department... (long paragraph). Then later: "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. CDCR and CCHCS strive to collaborate with the community to enhance public safety and promote successful community reintegration through education, treatment and active participation in rehabilitative and restorative justice programs. Incumbents establish and maintain cooperative working relationships within the department, other governmental agencies, health care partners, and communities. CDCR/CCHCS values all team members. We work cooperatively to provide the highest level of health care possible to a diverse correctional population, which includes medical, dental, nursing, mental health, and pharmacy. We encourage creativity and ingenuity while treating others fairly, honestly, and with respect, all of which are critical to the success of the CDCR/CCHCS mission." That seems like additional commitment content, not duplicate of earlier commitment paragraph. So we keep both. Later: "This advertisement is for a Recreation Therapist, CF position(s) located at Valley State Prison in Chowchilla, CA located in Madera County." That's location info. Then later: "Please write the position number on your application: 919-220-9286-XXX." (application instruction, remove) "Note: Main communication for this position will be through email. Please ensure to have a valid email address on your application." (remove) "CDCR/CCHCS employees are encouraged to use their existing CDCR email address on your application." (remove) "Department Website: https://cchcs.ca.gov/careers" (maybe remove as not application instruction but could be considered reference; but it's not a duty; I'd remove to be safe.) Then Job Description And Duties section includes PLP 2025 details, limited term, job control until filled, application review dates, benefits info, etc. Then "Under the general direction of the Senior Psychologist..." that's duties. Then "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Education: Equivalent to graduation from a recognized college with major work in recreation or recreation therapy. The major must have included supervised field work. (Registration as a senior will admit applicants to the examination, but they must produce evidence of graduation or its equivalent and completion of the required field work before they will be considered eligible for appointment.) You will find additional information about the job in the Duty Statement ." Then Equal Opportunity Employer block (remove). We need to keep all substantive info: vision, mission, commitment paragraphs, location, job description and duties (including PLP 2025, limited term, job control until filled, application review dates, benefits), duties of Recreation Therapist, minimum qualifications. We need to format into sections. Let's extract content. **About the role**: Could include vision, mission, commitment, location (Valley State Prison). Also maybe department website? We removed that. So About the role will contain the vision, mission, commitment paragraphs, and location. We need to avoid duplication: The commitment appears twice? Actually there is first commitment paragraph: "The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Correctional Health Care Services (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." Then later: "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. CDCR and CCHCS strive to collaborate with the community to enhance public safety and promote successful community reintegration through education, treatment and active participation in rehabilitative and restorative justice programs. Incumbents establish and maintain cooperative working relationships within the department, other governmental agencies, health care partners, and communities. CDCR/CCHCS values all team members. We work cooperatively to provide the highest level of health care possible to a diverse correctional population, which includes medical, dental, nursing, mental health, and pharmacy. We encourage creativity and ingenuity while treating others fairly, honestly, and with respect, all of which are critical to the success of the CDCR/CCHCS mission." These are distinct; keep both. **Responsibilities**: The duties: develop, implement, evaluate therapeutic recreation programs; instruct and motivate patients in individual and group recreation therapy; monitor and document treatment progress; work with other health care providers to share recreational therapy assessment information and incorporate therapeutic recreational activities into treatment plans; maintain order and supervise the conduct of patients to protect and maintain safety of persons and property. Also maybe "Under the general direction of the Senior Psychologist..." but that's supervisory relation; could be part of responsibilities. **Requirements**: Could include things like "Must have valid email address"? That's application instruction, removed. Maybe nothing else. Could combine with Qualifications. **Qualifications**: Minimum qualifications: Education: Equivalent to graduation from a recognized college with major work in recreation or recreation therapy. The major must have included supervised field work. (Registration as a senior will admit applicants to the examination, but they must produce evidence of graduation or its equivalent and completion of the required field work before they will be considered eligible for appointment.) **Skills**: Not explicitly listed; we could omit. **Benefits**: PLP 2025 details: Effective July 1, 2025, 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. Also: "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." Also: "Individuals may be eligible to receive a $10,000 one-time recruitment and retention stipend should they meet the eligibility criteria,
