Security Officer Part Time/On Call
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we only include sections that have real specific content. We have content for: About the role (maybe "Who are we?" and description of role?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (What you need?), Benefits (Why work at IDA?), Pay (Compensation). Schedule: we have shift info: Friday and Saturday 10:30pm-06:30am. That's schedule. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. For Pay we have salary range $42,291 - $67,666. That's specific. We should include that. For Schedule we have specific shift times.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from "Who are we?" paragraph: IDA operates three FFRDCs supporting federal decision making – two serving the Department of War and one serving the Office of Science and Technology Policy... etc. Also mention primary sponsor Department of War, classified work, security officers first line of defense, etc. Also mention that it's part-time/on-call Friday and Saturday 10:30pm-06:30am. Also mention that you work for IDA not a contractor, in-house security stable, team dynamic.
We need to include responsibilities list as - . Responsibilities list includes many bullet points.
We need to include requirements list: U.S. Citizenship required, Active Secret Security Clearance preferred, High school diploma or equivalent, At least one year of work experience preferably in physical security, Ability to use computer technology with proficiency..., Great customer service attitude..., Willingness and availability to work other shifts or overtime..., Successful completion of criminal background required.
We may also include "Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance is required" but that's duplicate; we can keep.
Benefits list: Comprehensive benefits including diverse health insurance options, generous 10% contribution to retirement, parental leave, 20 days paid time off (which increases with tenure), relocation reimbursement. Mission-oriented work at a non-profit that supports and protects our warfighters; as a non-profit, IDA employees are eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSFL). Professional development including tuition reimbursement, internal and external trainings, and funding for researcher-pitched projects and publications. A strong employee and corporate culture of work-life balance, including commitment to average 40-hour work weeks through flex time, partial telework options, and expectation of communication only during core business hours. A brand-new facility located in Alexandria’s high-tech corridor in Potomac Yard; amenities include a gym, and close proximity to local dining and shopping. Easy access to Potomac Yard Metro stop and Potomac Yard DASH bus stop. Employer contributes $315/month (IRS max) to commuter benefits.
We need to format as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose we use
. So we need to decide which parts are lists and which are prose.
The "Who are we?" description is prose; we can put in
.
The responsibilities are a list; we can make
- each bullet.
The requirements are a list; we can make
- .
The benefits are a list; we can make
- .
Pay: we have salary range; we can put in
maybe under Pay heading.
Schedule: we have shift times; we can put in
under Schedule heading.
We must not include headings with no content. So we will include headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements covering qualifications; we could combine. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include only those with content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No separate Skills section; we could embed skills in Requirements. That's fine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Security Officer Part Time/On Call". We must not use that as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
