(list) - Brief Job Description: paragraphs about environment, etc. - The Security Officer III performs highly complex (senior-level) security services work. The Security Officer III is a senior Security Officer and supports the Security Supervisor with department goals and objectives. Work involves patrolling grounds; conducting initial investigations as needed; providing direction and/or assistance to patients, staff, and visitors. Responsibilities also include temporary switchboard duties such as answering the hospital telephone switchboard as needed, the fire alarm system, and emergency response phone line. Works under limited supervision, with considerable latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. Performs other duties as assigned. Other duties as assigned include but not limited to actively participating and/or serving in a supporting role to meet the agency’s obligations for disaster response and/or recovery or Continuity of Operations (COOP) activation. Such participation may require an alternate shift pattern assignment and/or location. This position may be eligible to earn additional pay for work performed on evenings, nights and/or weekends. - Essential Job Functions (EJFs): list of duties. - Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs): list. - Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications: list. - Initial Screening Criteria: experience requirements. - Additional Information: background checks, immunization, etc. - Military occupation note. - ADA Accommodations. - Pre-Employment Checks And Work Eligibility. - Telework Disclaimer (but note Telework: Not Eligible for Telework earlier). The disclaimer says may be eligible for telework but note all positions subject to policies. However we should not include boilerplate. The Telework Disclaimer is likely boilerplate; we should drop. - Nearest Major Market: Austin. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be the brief job description paragraph(s) that describe role and environment. That is substantive. - Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions (EJFs) list. - Requirements: maybe Initial Screening Criteria (experience) plus Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications. - Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with real content. We have Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs) list. We have Benefits: mentioned in opening paragraph: "Our comprehensive benefits package includes 100% paid employee health insurance for full-time eligible employees, a defined benefit pension plan, generous time off benefits, numerous opportunities for career advancement and more." Also maybe other benefits not detailed. That's specific enough to include Benefits section. Pay: Salary Range: $3,800.00 - $4,837.08 Pay Frequency: Monthly. That's specific. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: Shift: Day Additional Shift: Nights (Third). Also mention may be eligible for additional pay for evenings, nights, weekends. Also mention flexibility in work hours may be required, overtime/extended hours. So we have schedule info. So include Schedule section. We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have actual numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. So we drop posting number, closing date, etc. Also drop metadata like Date, Location? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph at top maybe with date and location? But they said "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Probably we can include a short

with date and location. However the instruction also says "Preserve ALL substantive information". Date and location are substantive? Might be considered metadata but still info. We could include a short paragraph: "

" That seems okay. We must not include application instructions, boilerplate like EEO, etc. So we remove those. Now structure: We'll output something like:

But note we already mentioned benefits in About the role; but we also have a Benefits section. Might duplicate. Could keep benefits in Benefits section only. The About the role could focus on role description. Let's separate. Better: About the role: description of role and environment (the paragraphs about HHSC mission, etc). Benefits separate. Thus: About the role: paragraphs about HHSC mission, environment, etc (excluding benefits). Let's extract: "Join the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and be part of a team committed to creating a positive impact in the lives of fellow Texans. At HHSC, your contributions matter, and we support you at each stage of your life and work journey." Then the next paragraph about thriving in environment, etc. We'll keep that. Now Responsibilities: list of essential job functions. We'll convert each bullet into
  • . The EJFs list is long; we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create
    • for each duty. We need to parse the EJFs paragraph: It's a long sentence with many duties separated by periods. We'll split into items.

Such participation may require an alternate shift pattern assignment and/or location. - This position may be eligible to earn additional pay for work performed on evenings, nights and/or weekends. We need to ensure we don't duplicate. The last two maybe overlapping. Now Requirements: combine Initial Screening Criteria and Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications. Initial Screening Criteria: "Four years or more continuous work experience in law enforcement, security or corrections required. OR Three years or more security experience in a mental health facility required." Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications: list: - Must possess a valid Texas driver license or obtain it no later than 90 days after hire date to drive a state vehicle. - Applicants with an out-of-state driver license must provide an original certified driving record from the state of driving licensure. - Eligible driving record required based on HHSC Fleet Management policy. - Current CPR/AED certification preferred, willingness to be certified within 6 months required. We'll put these as
    • . Qualifications: maybe we could include education? Not present. Could skip Qualifications section if no specific content. But we have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs) which could go under Skills. Qualifications could be left out. Skills: KSAs list: - Knowledge
