We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the description. Given description includes: - LOCATION: Mettawee Community School in West Pawlet, VT - HOURS: Monday-Friday, 2:25PM - 5:30PM - JOB STATUS: Part-time, non-exempt - PAY: $19.00 - $21.00 per hour - Employer-Paid Childcare Included (described) - About The Role (section) - Why You'll Love This Role (maybe part of About the role?

Could be omitted as not required heading; but we could include as a paragraph maybe under About the organization but not required headings. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should only use those headings if content exists. We can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications separate from Requirements? The posting has Requirements and also "What We're Looking For" which is Requirements. Could treat that as Requirements. Qualifications maybe similar; but we can omit if no distinct content. Skills maybe not explicit. We'll include only sections with substantive content. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can organize under headings. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. The description includes an equal opportunity employer statement at end; we should remove that. Also the link to workwithus maybe can be kept? It's not boilerplate but it's about culture; could be part of About Healthy Kids Programs but not required heading. Might be okay to keep as a paragraph under About the role? But we should not include navigation etc. The link is not navigation; it's a reference. Might keep as a paragraph. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

About the role

... (including location, hours, job status, maybe employer-paid childcare? Actually that is a benefit; but we can mention in About the role? Better to keep benefit separate. We'll include location, hours, job status, role description, why you'll love this role (maybe as part of About the role). We'll incorporate all prose from About The Role and Why You'll Love This Role.

Responsibilities

  • ... list items from What You'll Do sections: Program Leadership, Licensing & Compliance, Staffing & Operations, Family & Community Engagement. We'll break into bullet points preserving details.

    Requirements

    • ... list items: Must be 18+ years old, Associate’s degree or higher, Ability to meet Vermont DCF school-age program leadership requirements, Must Also Meet ONE Of The Following (list). Also include "We especially encourage applicants with experience as a Site Director, Assistant Director, or similar leadership role in: ..." maybe as bullet. Also "Prior Vermont background clearance and required trainings are preferred but may be completed after hire for qualified candidates." Could be a bullet.

      Benefits

      • Employer-paid childcare for school-age children (ages 5–12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you are working with us
      • Telehealth, vision, and dental coverage
      • AFLAC supplemental plans
      • 401(k) for eligible employees
      • Paid sick time
      • On-demand pay – access earned wages before your scheduled payday for added financial flexibility
      • Career development and growth opportunities
      • Pay

        $19.00 - $21.00 per hour

        Schedule

        Monday-Friday, 2:25PM - 5:30PM (Part-time, non-exempt)

        We might also include location somewhere; maybe under About the role as a paragraph. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include any headings like "Qualifications" if not distinct. Check for any duplicated lines: we must avoid repeating same content. Let's craft the HTML. We need to be careful to preserve all substantive information: location, hours, job status, pay, employer-paid childcare description, role description, why you'll love this role, responsibilities details, requirements details, physical requirements? Wait we missed Physical Requirements. That's substantive; we need to include it somewhere. Could be under Requirements or a separate section? There's no heading for Physical Requirements in the list, but we could include under Requirements as a bullet. Or we could add a

        Physical Requirements

        but not in allowed headings list? The instruction says use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "use

        for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings; but we could still use other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those. Physical requirements could be placed under Requirements as a bullet. Also we have "Part-time Benefits" heading in original; we will use Benefits. We need to include "Employer-Paid Childcare Included" description; we already have benefit bullet but also there is a paragraph describing it earlier. We should preserve that description; maybe we can include it in the Benefits bullet as a more detailed description. The bullet we wrote: "Employer-paid childcare for school-age children (ages 5–12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you are working with us". That captures the essence but we lost the detail about employer contributions covering cost, safe structured program, etc. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that detail. Could expand bullet: "Employer-paid childcare for school-age children (ages 5–12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you work; employer contributions cover the cost of care, providing a safe, structured, and engaging program so you can focus on your job without arranging outside care." That preserves. Similarly, we need to include the description of Healthy Kids Programs (About Healthy Kids Programs) maybe not required but it's substantive. Could be placed under About the role or as a separate paragraph after About the role? Since we don't have a heading for About the organization, we could include it as a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay but could be considered not exactly about the role. However we can include it as a paragraph after About the role heading but before Responsibilities? Might be okay. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that paragraph about Healthy Kids Programs being Inc. 5000, Benefit Corporation, mission, etc. We'll include as a paragraph under About the role heading? Might be okay. Let's draft. We'll produce:
