Residential Assistant Program Coordinator
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description about mission, residences, services, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present.
We have:
- Intro: "Established in 1948, The Mission of ASCEND Mental Wellness is to encourage and assist individuals in discovering pathways to their optimal mental health and wellness, while supporting hope and awareness of well-being in our community. ASCEND is currently looking to fill one of our Restorative Residential Assistant Program Coordinator positions for our Community Residences, Genesis. Community Residences: Genesis and Pearl Street Genesis and Pearl Street residences offer a group home environment which provides a high level of support for people in the earliest stages of recovery. The overall goal is to provide short-term, focused skill development in a home-like setting. The first step in treatment is defining and developing a rehabilitation plan that aids a person's movement to the next stage in their recovery. This individualized, highly detailed plan clarifies needs, charts a course of action, and provides the framework to evaluate progress. Services available to residents include crisis intervention, rehabilitation counseling, social and living skills development (money management, personal hygiene, food preparation, meal planning, recreation activities, etc.), symptom and medication management, community integration, and resource development. On duty around the clock, staff work closely with each resident to maximize stability and help in the transition to a less restrictive environment. Long-term assistance is available for people with problems preventing them from living outside a group setting. Individuals must be well-motivated and committed to making a difference in people's lives. Good listening, writing, and verbal skills required. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently."
That's description of role and organization. Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". We'll use "About the role".
Then "ASCEND offers a comprehensive benefit package including healthcare benefits, retirement plan enrollment, and paid time off, including 11 holidays, 2 floating holidays, vacation, personal, and sick time. Salary will be based on qualifications."
That's Benefits and Pay. Benefits: healthcare, retirement, PTO. Pay: salary based on qualifications (not specific number). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits and mentions salary based on qualifications (though vague). It says "Salary will be based on qualifications." That's not a specific number but it's still stating something about pay. Should we include Pay section? It says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay (salary based on qualifications). That's still stating pay info, albeit not a number. I'd include Pay section with that sentence.
Benefits: we have specifics.
Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule.
Qualifications & Education: we have qualifications: High School Diploma or equivalent, at least five years' experience, Associate's degree may substitute for two years' experience, Valid NYS driver's license acceptable to Agency insurance standards. Also ability to work independently, problem-solving skills, work as part of multi-disciplinary team. That's qualifications.
Skills: maybe "Good listening, writing, and verbal skills required." Also "comfortable working independently." Also "have adequate computer skills, or more refined for specific job titles." Also "Should be compassionate and demonstrate a commitment to helping people with mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders." That could be Skills.
Responsibilities: a long list after "Residential Assistant Program Coordinator Responsibilities include, but not limited to:" then many bullet-like sentences.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits we should use
- . For prose we use
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Remove boilerplate: EEO statement at end should be removed. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, etc. The EEO paragraph at end should be removed.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting except boilerplate.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:

Responsibilities

- Assure the scheduling of Relief Residential Counselors for appropriate shifts as needed.
- Work with supervisor to ensure environmental repairs in a timely manner.

- Actively participate in Agency sponsored staff development and in-service educational programs as deemed necessary by supervisor, including mandatory trainings assigned per job title.
- Should be compassionate and demonstrate a commitment to helping people with mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders.
But note some of those items are more like skills/qualities (e.g., "Have adequate computer skills", "Actively participate...", "Should be compassionate..."). Those could go under Skills section. However the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could split: Responsibilities list includes duties; Skills list includes skills/qualities. The posting lumps them together after responsibilities heading. But we can separate based on content.
Better to follow the posting: Under "Responsibilities" heading we have the list that starts with "Reconcile petty cash weekly." and goes through "Positively represent the Agency within the community at all times." Then after that there are additional bullet-like items: "Have adequate computer skills, or more refined for specific job titles." etc. Those could be considered Skills. However the posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; it's all under responsibilities. But we can still create a Skills section if we have specific content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep all under Responsibilities to avoid thin Skills section. However we also have Qualifications section separate.
We also have Benefits: we have specifics.
Pay: "Salary will be based on qualifications."
We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills not needed if we incorporate into Responsibilities or Qualifications.
Qualifications: includes education/experience, driver's license, ability to work independently, problem-solving skills, work as part of multi-disciplinary team.
We should not duplicate content. Ensure we preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract:
About the role: all descriptive paragraphs before qualifications.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "Reconcile petty cash weekly." up to "Positively represent the Agency within the community at all times." (including maybe also "Have adequate computer skills..." etc? but those are more skills.)
Qualifications: "High School Diploma, or equivalent, with at least five years' experience working in the human services field. An Associate's degree in the human services field may be substituted for two years' experience. Valid NYS driver's license acceptable to Agency insurance standards. Must have the ability to work independently, have good problem-solving skills, and have the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team."
Skills: Could include "Good listening, writing, and verbal skills required." (mentioned earlier in About the role). Also "comfortable working independently." (also in About the role). Also "Have adequate computer skills, or more refined for specific job titles." (from responsibilities list). Also "Actively participate in scheduled team/staff meetings..." etc. Also "Should be compassionate and demonstrate a commitment to helping people with mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders." These are more like expectations/skills.
But we could put those under Skills section.
Benefits: "ASCEND offers a comprehensive benefit package including healthcare benefits, retirement plan enrollment, and paid time off, including 11 holidays, 2 floating holidays, vacation, personal, and sick time."
Pay: "Salary will be based on qualifications."
We should not include schedule.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info. The "Good listening, writing, and verbal skills required." appears in About the role paragraph; we could keep it there and not duplicate in Skills. But if we create Skills section, we might duplicate. Better to keep it in About the role (as prose) and not duplicate.
Similarly "comfortable working independently" appears in About the role; we could keep there.
Thus Skills section may include: "Have adequate computer skills, or more refined for specific job titles.", "Actively participate in scheduled team/staff meetings as scheduled by supervisor or as indicated by the program's services.", "Actively participate in Agency sponsored staff development and in-service educational programs as deemed necessary by supervisor, including mandatory trainings assigned per job
