Safety and Access Manager
for section headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information: About Us description, GOAL Sudan Country Programme description, Job Purpose, Key Responsibilities, Experience & Qualifications, Core Competencies, Reasonable accommodation contact, Accountability within GOAL? Might be considered legal; but we could keep as part of Responsibilities? It's about accountability; maybe treat as part of Responsibilities? But it's separate list. Could include under Responsibilities as additional bullet points? However the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Accountability within GOAL might be considered legal/policy. I'd lean to remove it to be safe. But then we lose info about expectations. However the instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". Accountability within GOAL is likely legal/policy. So remove.
Safeguarding Children and vulnerable adults description: also legal/policy; maybe remove as boilerplate? It's about safeguarding; could be considered legal. Might remove.
General Terms and Conditions: also legal; remove.
Thus we keep: About Us, GOAL Sudan Country Programme, Job Purpose, Key Responsibilities, Experience & Qualifications, Core Competencies, Reasonable accommodation contact, Location, Contract length.
Also maybe "Posted date" and "Closing date" could be minor metadata; we can fold into a short p.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.

About GOAL
but we only allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not About GOAL. However we could incorporate About Us into About the role? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, but we should prefer those headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings like About GOAL. We need to fit About Us and Sudan Country Programme somewhere. Could put them under About the role as prose. Or we could create a separate section but not in list; maybe it's okay to add other headings? The instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to stick to those headings. So we need to fit all content under those headings.
We have About the role (could include Job Purpose and maybe organization description). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (Experience & Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Certifications? but we have none separate). Skills (Core Competencies). Benefits, Pay, Schedule omitted.
We need to include location and contract length somewhere; could be in About the role paragraph.
We need to include posted/closing dates; could be in a short p before sections.
We need to include reasonable accommodation contact; could be in Requirements or Skills? Maybe put in Requirements as a note.
We need to include GOAL Sudan Country Programme description; could be in About the role.
