Rehab Therapy Tech IV - Vocational Services
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with date, location maybe. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The brief job description: "Come work in an environment where we truly value and respect those we serve and believe in the mission that all people can achieve a higher level of wellness and independence. The state supported living centers serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are medically fragile or who have behavioral problems.

Provides direct contact instruction/training for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities on their treatment plans for the RTT’s assigned therapeutic specialty. Trains others to ensure continuity of treatment plans. Valid driver’s license and ability to drive a state vehicle may be required. Works under the general supervision of a Registered Therapist, Psychologist, or Vocational/Day Programming Supervisor with moderate latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. This position is required to drive a state-owned vehicle." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The Essential Job Functions (EJFs) list: Attends work regularly, may be required to work specific shift schedule, rotating schedule, extended shift, overtime; Directly implements treatment plans through hands-on methods, monitors treatment goals and objectives through direct contact observation; Assists in development and evaluation of treatment plans; Assists therapist in conducting functional skills assessments; Schedules, assists with and/or provides staff training to DSPs; Monitors implementation of program objectives by DSPs, gathers data and report; Ensures satisfactory completion of paperwork; Ensures collection of data related to treatment plans; Participates in interdisciplinary team process; Provides feedback to team; Works with DSP to maintain connection and assists with development of treatment plans; Maintains current skills; Other duties as assigned (disaster response/COOP). We'll put these as bullet list. - Requirements: The posting includes "Initial Screening Criteria": High school diploma or GED preferred. At least six months of work experience with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities or in performing therapeutic work. Experience in areas of applied behavior analysis, sensory integration, music therapy, therapeutic recreation, dance/movement therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology, or vocational rehabilitation is preferred. Experience in development of treatment and support plans for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is preferred. Also "Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications": Valid Texas driver’s license or ability to obtain it no later than 90 days after hire date, is required. Applicants with out-of-state driver’s license must provide original certified driving record. Eligible driving record required based on HHSC Fleet Management policy. Also "Additional Information": Applicants must pass fingerprint criminal background check, pre-employment drug screen, registry checks including CANRS, Nurse Aide, Medication Aide and Employee Misconduct and HHS List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE). Males 18-25 must be registered with Selective Service. All SSLC employees subject to random drug testing. Flexibility in work hours may be required; may be required to work overtime and/or extended hours; must be willing to work weekends and holidays. All applicants must be at least 18 years of age. Also "Telework Disclaimer": This position may be eligible for telework. Please note, all HHS positions are subject to state and agency telework policies in addition to the discretion of the direct supervisor and business needs. However earlier it said Telework: Not Eligible for Telework. There's a conflict. The posting includes "Telework: Not Eligible for Telework" under metadata, and later a Telework Disclaimer says may be eligible. We need to preserve all substantive information; we should include both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include both statements, maybe note the discrepancy. We'll include a paragraph about telework eligibility: "Telework: Not Eligible for Telework" (from metadata) and also note the disclaimer. But we should not repeat metadata as heading; we can fold into a short p. - Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements. But we can combine? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications, KSAs, licensure), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let's see if we have Benefits: "Our comprehensive benefits package includes 100% paid employee health insurance for full-time eligible employees, a defined benefit pension plan, generous time off benefits, numerous opportunities for career advancement and more. Explore more details on the Benefits of Working at HHS webpage." That's benefits. Pay: "Salary Range: $3,649.83 - $4,594.50 Pay Frequency: Monthly Salary Group: TEXAS-A-14". So we have pay. Schedule: "Shift: Day Additional Shift: Days (First)". Also maybe "Flexibility in work hours may be required... may be required to work overtime and/or extended hours. Must be willing to work weekends and holidays." So schedule info. We also have location: "Location: ABILENE, TX" and facility location etc. Could be in a short paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's some EEO? Not seen. There's "ADA Accommodations" etc. That's not boilerplate? It's substantive about accommodations. Should we include? It's about accommodations during hiring. Might be considered substantive. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. ADA Accommodations is not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a statement about providing reasonable accommodation. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to drop? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. ADA Accommodations is related to equal opportunity. Might be considered boilerplate. I'd drop it to be safe. Also "Review our Tips for Success when applying for jobs at DFPS, DSHS and HHSC." That's application instruction; drop. "Active Duty, Military, Reservists, Guardsmen, And Veterans" section: that's encouragement to apply; maybe not boilerplate but could be considered outreach. Might keep? It's substantive about military occupations. Might keep as part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be a note. But it's not essential. Might drop as it's more encouragement. "Nearest Major Market: Abilene" is metadata. We'll produce HTML:
Date: Sep 15, 2026. Location: Abilene, TX.

We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check for any other sections: Qualifications maybe separate but we can merge into Requirements. We must not include headings with empty content. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the brief job description but maybe trim redundancy. Keep all substantive info. Let's extract the exact text: "Come work in an environment where we truly value and respect those we serve and believe in the mission that all people can achieve a higher level of wellness and independence. The state supported living centers serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are medically fragile or who have behavioral problems. The centers provide campus-based direct services and supports at 13 centers located throughout the state.
