Responsibilities list: Many bullet points under Areas of Primary Responsibility. We'll list them as
- .
Physical/Sensory Requirements maybe could be under Requirements? But we have no separate Requirements section; we could treat Physical/Sensory Requirements as part of Qualifications or maybe as a separate Requirements section. The rule says we can use Requirements heading if there is content. We have Physical/Sensory Requirements content. So we can create a
Requirements
with that content as prose or list? It's a list of requirements: lift, stoop, carry, turn, assist high-risk residents, push medication carts, flexible schedule; able to sit, stand, bend, move continuously; lift/carry 50-75 pounds; medium risk exposure to COVID. We'll put as - .

About the role
... include description of role, core values, open interview info maybe.
But we need to decide what goes in About the role: The description: "The Registered Medication Associate (RMA) role provides high quality care and services to meet the overall needs of residents in a caring, consistent, individualized, and efficient manner. He or she ensures that residents receive comprehensive care and services by assisting them in the administration of medications, in accordance with state licensing and regulatory standards. The Registered Medication Associate is a Culture Ambassador who will model the core values of the company, leading by example, and ensure all team members exemplify the core values of the company." Then core values list. Then open interview info.
We'll put that as prose; core values could be a list but not required; we can keep as sentence.
Better to keep core values as a list? The rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Core values is a list but not duties/requirements/benefits; it's values. Could still be a list but not required. Safer to keep as prose.
