Residential Counselor - Part Time
About the role
We have a great opportunity ...
But need to preserve all substantive info. Let's craft paragraphs. About the role: combine first two paragraphs: "We have a great opportunity available to join our growing, stable, and highly regarded organization, where you can obtain valuable human services experience while making a difference in the lives of others! We provide person-centered supports for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, autism, or acquired brain injury – helping each person learn daily living skills, build meaningful relationships, and become a valued member of their community." Responsibilities: list items. We need- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
Responsibilities list:
- Maintain their physical and emotional health and live safely in the community.
- Foster relationships with housemates, family members, and neighbors.
- Develop and practice skills that increase independence, confidence, and self-determination.
- Participate in community activities, work, and volunteer opportunities that reflect their goals and interests.
- Provide support, supervision, coaching, and companionship.
- Encourage residents to identify their strengths, explore new opportunities, and actualize their hopes and dreams.
Also maybe "Every interaction is rooted in respect and appreciation for each individual’s uniqueness." Could be a sentence; but it's not a list item. Could be a paragraph before list.
We'll include a short paragraph then list.
Requirements: list: Valid driver's license required; High school degree or equivalent required.
Qualifications: maybe none; we could omit.
Skills: maybe same as Requirements? But we have Required Skills heading. Could put Valid driver's license.
But we already have Requirements includes both. Might be redundant. Better to separate: Requirements: High school degree or equivalent; Skills: Valid driver's license.
But the posting says "Required Skills Valid driver's license required" and "Required Experience High school degree or equivalent required". So we can map Skills to driver's license, Experience to high school.
Thus we have sections: Requirements (maybe not needed), Qualifications (maybe not), Skills, Experience? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No Experience heading. So we need to fit experience into either Requirements or Qualifications. Probably Requirements includes both education and license. But we have separate Skills heading for license. Let's decide:
- Requirements: High school degree or equivalent.
- Skills: Valid driver's license.
That seems okay.
Qualifications: maybe none; we can omit.
Benefits: list.
Pay: $20.00/hr.
Schedule: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 3pm-11p, & Saturday 9am-5pm (32 hours).
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now craft HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any extra whitespace? It's fine.
Let's write:

Check we didn't include any boilerplate. We omitted the "About Our Residences" paragraph and "Why You'll Love Riverside" etc. Are those substantive? They contain info about residences and culture. Should we include them? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must include all substantive info, not just headings. The "About Our Residences" and "Why You'll Love Riverside" paragraphs are substantive. We need to incorporate them somewhere. Could be under About the role or a separate section like "About the residence" but we only allowed specific headings list. However we can add extra sections if they have real content? The instruction: "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't forbid other headings, but the examples given are those. Safer to stick to those headings and place extra content under appropriate ones. We can put "About Our Residences" under About the role (maybe as a paragraph). And "Why You'll Love Riverside" could go under Benefits or maybe under About the role as well. But Benefits already has list; we could add a paragraph about culture before benefits. Let's incorporate: About the role: include initial description plus "About Our Residences" paragraph plus maybe "Why You'll Love Riverside" paragraph (the part about making a difference, benefits mention). However Benefits section already lists benefits; we can keep the "Why You'll Love Riverside" as a brief intro before Benefits. Thus: About the role: combine: - Opening paragraph about opportunity. - About Our Residences paragraph. - Maybe the "Why You'll Love Riverside" paragraph that talks about making a difference, benefits, awards. But we need to avoid duplication: Benefits section already lists benefits; we can keep the motivational paragraph separate. Let's draft About the role:
