We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? There's a "Duties. Qualifications? Yes. Benefits? Yes (VA offers...). Pay? Yes (Competitive salary...). Schedule? Yes (Work Schedule). Also maybe "Physical Requirements" but not a required heading; we can include as part of Qualifications? But we only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities (Duties), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe "Physical Requirements" could be under Qualifications but not required heading. We'll not create extra sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract content.
Responsibilities: The "Duties" section includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll convert each sentence into
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Let's parse duties:
"The Nurse Care Coordinator Registered Nurse (RN) executes position responsibilities that demonstrate expert leadership - experience - and creative approaches in providing complex patient management"
"Provides patient management - care coordination - and discharge/disposition planning for inpatient and outpatient settings"
"The Care Coordinator assists Veterans - family members - and caregivers with receiving the most appropriate options and services to meet their complex health care needs"

"Responsible for the documenting broad and complex outcomes at the program or service level - that can be demonstrated at any organizational level within a facility"
We'll list each as
- .
Qualifications: The qualifications text is long. We need to preserve all substantive info. It includes Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations, Physical Requirements. We'll likely need to break into
- for each bullet? The text is paragraph-like with many semicolons. We can split by sentences or logical breaks. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep as
maybe? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we treat qualifications as a list of requirements, we should use
- . However the qualifications text is not clearly bullet list; it's paragraphs with many details. We could still wrap each distinct requirement as
- . But we risk losing nuance if we split incorrectly. Perhaps better to keep as
for prose, but instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use list.
We need to decide how to split. Could split by major sections: Basic Requirements (with subpoints), Grade Determinations (with subpoints), Physical Requirements. We'll create
with - for each major bullet, and inside
- we can have
or just text.
Simplify: We'll create
with each sentence as - . That preserves all info (no loss). It may be many items but okay.
Let's extract qualifications sentences.

We need to split into sensible

We need Benefits section: includes Pay, Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure? Actually Licensure is a requirement not benefit. But it's in the same block. We'll treat Benefits as the package: Pay, Time Off, Retirement, Insurance. Licensure maybe not benefit but it's there; we could include as part of Benefits? Might be odd. Better to separate: Benefits section includes Pay, Time Off, Retirement, Insurance. Pay section separate
