On-siteInformation Technology$19–$22/hrPart-time

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Position Summary: The first paragraph after "$19.00 to $22.00 / hour Position Summary Children’s Aid is looking for a part-time Security Guard..." That's the summary. We need to include Pay: The posting includes "$19.00 to $22.00 / hour". So we need a Pay section with that info. Schedule: The posting mentions part-time, but not specific schedule details. There's a line: "The incumbent is expected to work a schedule, whether in-person or hybrid, as determined by the department's needs..." That's vague. Not specific schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have only generic statement about schedule determined by department's needs, not specific days/hours. Is that considered stating schedule? It says schedule, but not specific. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The statement "The incumbent is expected to work a schedule, whether in-person or hybrid, as determined by the department's needs to facilitate effective collaboration with the team." That's somewhat vague but not placeholder like "varies". It does say schedule determined by department's needs. Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to omit Schedule section. Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit. Now sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Qualifications: maybe Key Competencies? Skills: maybe list of skills? We need to decide. The posting includes sections: Essential Duties And Responsibilities (with subparts). Visitor Access and Screening (more duties). Professional Development. Health And Safety. Minimum Qualifications. Key Competencies. We can combine duties into Responsibilities. Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications could be Key Competencies? Or maybe Skills: list of skills like communication, Microsoft Office, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details. Let's extract: Position Summary paragraph: "Children’s Aid is looking for a part-time Security Guard to support safety and security at its community centers. The Security Guard serves as a safety professional responsible for maintaining a secure, respectful, and professional environment for youth, families, staff, visitors, and community partners. As one of the first people youth, families, staff, visitors, and community partners encounter, the Security Guard helps preserve the warm, respectful, and community-centered environment of the center while consistently carrying out all required security responsibilities. The role is responsible for monitoring entrances and exits, cameras and door access where applicable, conducting interior and exterior patrols, observing and reporting concerns, supporting emergency operations, and following Children’s Aid security protocols. The incumbent will understand and promote the organization’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values to ensure alignment with the functions of the position." Then Mission, Vision, Core Values paragraphs: we should include as part of About the role? Probably include as part of About the role (position summary) because it's about organization. We'll keep them. Then Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of bullet-like sentences. We'll convert to

. Visitor Access and Screening: also duties. Professional Development: duties. Health And Safety: duties. Minimum Qualifications: list. Key Competencies: list. We need to decide sections: - About the role (position summary) includes the summary paragraph plus mission/vision/values. - Responsibilities: combine Essential Duties, Visitor Access, Professional Development, Health And Safety (maybe also other duties). Could be one big list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Key Competencies? Or maybe Skills: but we have Key Competencies includes communication skills, professional approach, bilingual preferred, CPR/AED helpful, flexible attendance. That's more like qualifications/skills. We could make Skills section for things like "Basic Microsoft Office Suite computer skills required, particularly email and calendar and E-Visitor check-in systems." and "Good verbal and written skills." etc. But those are in Minimum Qualifications. Better to follow typical structure: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (key competencies), Skills (maybe computer skills). But we risk duplication. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine into About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including minimum qualifications and key competencies), Pay. That's maybe enough. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include details within those sections. Let's plan:
About the role

Position summary paragraph + mission/vision/values paragraphs.

Responsibilities
- ... list all duty sentences ...
Requirements
- Active NYS DOS Security License.
- 8 hour certification required.
- 16 hour certification must be obtained within 90 days of hire.
- Professional appearance and demeanor.
- Good verbal and written skills.
- Basic Microsoft Office Suite computer skills required, particularly email and calendar and E-Visitor check-in systems.
Maybe also include "Current and up to date CPR/AED certification helpful." as a qualification but not required; could be in Requirements as "Preferred" but it's not required. Could be in a separate Skills section? But we can include as a bullet under Requirements with note "helpful". Or we could create a Skills section for "Effective communication skills. Professional approach; resourceful, dependable and approachable. Bilingual English/Spanish is preferred but not required. Current and up to date CPR/AED certification helpful. Flexible, on-time and regular attendance necessary." That seems like qualifications/competencies. Thus we could have:
Qualifications
- Effective communication skills.
- Professional approach; resourceful, dependable and approachable.
- Bilingual English/Spanish is preferred but not required.
- Current and up to date CPR/AED certification helpful.
- Flexible, on-time and regular attendance necessary.
Pay section:
Pay
$19.00 to $22.00 per hour
We should not include Schedule. Now ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO statements, etc. Check for any duplicated lines: we need to ensure we didn't repeat. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: "Children’s Aid is looking for a part-time Security Guard to support safety and security at its community centers. The Security Guard serves as a safety professional responsible for maintaining a secure, respectful, and professional environment for youth, families, staff, visitors, and community partners. As one of the first people youth, families, staff, visitors, and community partners encounter, the Security Guard helps preserve the warm, respectful, and community-centered environment of the center while consistently carrying out all required security responsibilities. The role is responsible for monitoring entrances and exits, cameras and door access where applicable, conducting interior and exterior patrols, observing and reporting concerns, supporting emergency operations, and following Children’s Aid security protocols. The incumbent will understand and promote the organization’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values to ensure alignment with the functions of the position." Then mission/vision/values: We have paragraphs: "Children’s Aid Mission To help children in poverty to succeed and thrive. We do this by providing comprehensive support to children and their families in targeted high-needs New York City neighborhoods. Children’s Aid annually serves children and their families at over 40 sites in New York, as well as through three national program models. Children’s Aid is concentrating its efforts on creating cradle-through-college pathways in high-need neighborhoods, with a focus on children’s health, family stability, education, and social and emotional development." "Culture and Values We put children, youth, and families first: We listen to and incorporate the voices of children, youth and families in all that we do. We seek equity and transformation in our communities: We courageously work within and outside systems to create opportunities for children, youth and families. We strive for excellence: We hold ourselves to the highest standards and are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We are powered by collaboration: Our work is stronger when we trust, partner, and respect each other and the communities we serve. We are driven by compassion: We lead with kindness, care, and empathy and believe in the endless potential of the people we serve and our team." We can combine into a paragraph or keep as separate paragraphs. Use
for each. Now Responsibilities: need to list all duty sentences from Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Visitor Access and Screening, Professional Development, Health And Safety. Let's extract each sentence: Essential Duties And Responsibilities: - Continuously manage and monitor the entrances and exits of the facility and maintain awareness of activity in the lobby, reception area, stairwells, and other assigned areas. - Monitor cameras, door access, visitor check-in systems, and other security systems used at the assigned center. - Conduct regular and unpredictable foot patrols of the interior and immediate exterior perimeter, checking for trespassers, vandalism, suspicious activity, hazards, or signs of intrusion and ensuring doors, windows, and gates are secure. - Observe activities and promptly report irregularities, hazards, facility issues, misconduct, or suspicious circumstances through the established center and Security Operations reporting structure. - Respond to emergencies and crisis situations as directed; contact police, EMS, or the fire department when required by protocol or immediate circumstances. - Know the location and operation of fire alarms, first-aid supplies, firefighting equipment, and other safety equipment. - Serve as an active member of the emergency response team and participate in fire drills, evacuation, lockdown, shelter in, and other emergency procedures. - Provide calm, professional support during conflicts or disruptive behavior, using de-escalation approaches and seeking program or emergency support as appropriate. - Submit a Children’s Aid Reportable Event for equipment or property damage, theft, unauthorized persons, unusual occurrences, violent or critical incidents, and other security or safety incidents, in accordance with agency requirements. - Follow the day-to-day direction of the Center Director or designee and the security-specific protocols, coaching, and direction of Security Operations leadership. - Maintain a professional and approachable appearance and comply with the uniform or identification standard established for center-based security staff. - Maintain accurate incidents, visitor, patrol, and other required records.
