Security Officer - Variable Shifts, Per Diem
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: It's a per-diem role description. There's description about role, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, maybe skills, benefits, pay, schedule.
We need to extract content.
Let's parse:
Job Description paragraph: "The per-diem role is primarily used to fill open shifts when our full time officers take time off for one reason or another. We are strictly interested in candidates who have a considerable amount of time in their schedules. Listed below are some of the conditions we look to meet when hiring someone as a per-diem officer. If you feel you can meet most of these requirements, you would be a great candidate for the position. Thanks again for your interest!"
That's about the role.
Then "Per-Diem Officer Requirements" bullet list: Must be available to work all shifts: Day: 06:30 – 15:00 Evening: 14:30 – 23:00 Night: 22:30 – 07:00 Some variable shifts may also arise Weekend availability is required We’re seeking individuals with flexible schedules While we understand per-diem officers may not be available every time we reach out, we do expect consistent availability and willingness to cover shifts when possible Supervisors will contact you via call or text when shifts open up; a prompt response (yes or no) is appreciated Work hours are not guaranteed and can vary significantly. You may be asked to cover a full week during staff absences, or go several days without being scheduled Summer months tend to offer more hours, while winter availability may decrease due to fewer vacation requests NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience. In addition to the hourly rate of pay, there is a $1.60 to $7.60 differential depending on shift. Are you someone who has a lot of free time on their hands and willing to work any shift? If so, the UVM Medical Center seeks qualified individuals to join the Security team on a per diem basis. This position has no committed schedule/hours and is not benefit eligible. This position calls for someone who has some experience in Security, preferably in a healthcare setting, and has flexibility to fulfill hours, as needed, by the team. The per diem Security Officer covers both planned absences (staff vacation, holiday) and unanticipated absences. Ideal candidates are those looking to continue to be of service in a healthcare/hospital setting. Successful per diem Security Officers are those seeking to augment a part time work schedule, or students who can pick up shifts around class schedules (or on school breaks), or full/partial retirees who would like to continue to work when the opportunity aligns with their schedule. Each Security Officer is assigned to a specific UVM Medical Center campus. The primary responsibilities of the Security Officer are to conduct patrol duties, respond immediately to calls for assistance, and document services provided on each shift. The Security Officer is expected to act in a courteous and professional manner at all times. Education High School graduate or equivalent. Valid driver’s license and safe driving record. Experience Prior security experience preferred. Previous experience in a healthcare setting a plus.
We need to separate sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities: primary responsibilities bullet list (patrol duties, respond to calls, document services, act courteous). Requirements: availability, shift times, weekend, flexible schedule, consistent availability, prompt response, work hours not guaranteed, variable, etc. Qualifications: Education (HS grad or equivalent), driver's license, safe driving record. Experience: prior security experience preferred, healthcare setting a plus. Skills maybe not explicit; could include flexibility, availability, etc. But we should only create sections if there is real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (education, driver's license), Experience. Benefits: posting says "This position has no committed schedule/hours and is not benefit eligible." So no benefits. Pay: mentions "NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience. In addition to the hourly rate of pay, there is a $1.60 to $7.60 differential depending on shift." That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that detail. Schedule: mentions "Work hours are not guaranteed and can vary significantly... Summer months tend to offer more hours, while winter availability may decrease due to fewer vacation requests." Also "This position has no committed schedule/hours". So schedule info exists. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. No cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft sections:
About the role
The per-diem role is primarily used to fill open shifts when full‑time officers take time off. The center seeks candidates with considerable availability in their schedules.
Maybe also include the sentence about meeting conditions and thanks? That's part of about role. Could combine.
Better to keep original phrasing but we can paraphrase? Must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Paraphrasing is okay as long as we keep meaning. Safer to keep close to original.
Let's extract the intro paragraph exactly: "The per-diem role is primarily used to fill open shifts when our full time officers take time off for one reason or another. We are strictly interested in candidates who have a considerable amount of time in their schedules. Listed below are some of the conditions we look to meet when hiring someone as a per-diem officer. If you feel you can meet most of these requirements, you would be a great candidate for the position. Thanks again for your interest!"
That's substantive. We'll put that in .
Now Responsibilities: The primary responsibilities: conduct patrol duties, respond immediately to calls for assistance, document services provided on each shift, act in a courteous and professional manner at all times.
We'll make
- for each.
Requirements: Many bullet points. Let's list them as items:
- Must be available to work all shifts: Day: 06:30 – 15:00; Evening: 14:30 – 23:00; Night: 22:30 – 07:00
- Some variable shifts may also arise
- Weekend availability is required
- Seeking individuals with flexible schedules
- Expect consistent availability and willingness to cover shifts when possible
- Supervisors will contact you via call or text when shifts open up; a prompt response (yes or no) is appreciated
- Work hours are not guaranteed and can vary significantly
- May be asked to cover a full week during staff absences, or go several days without being scheduled
- Summer months tend to offer more hours, while winter availability may decrease due to fewer vacation requests
- NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience (this is pay, but also appears in requirements paragraph; but we will handle pay separately)
- In addition to the hourly rate of pay, there is a $1.60 to $7.60 differential depending on shift (pay)
- Are you someone who has a lot of free time on their hands and willing to work any shift? (maybe rhetorical)
But we should keep substantive info; maybe we can keep the rhetorical question as part of requirements? It's not a requirement. Might be better to omit as it's not a concrete requirement. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; the question is not substantive info, it's a prompt. Could drop? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The question is not substantive detail about the job; it's a call to action. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal but it's a promotional line. Might be okay to keep but it's not a requirement. Safer to keep it as part of the description maybe under About the role? But it's a question. I'd rather keep it as a
maybe under About the role? However the instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not that. It's a question to candidate. Might be considered part of the posting but not essential. I'd keep it as a
maybe under About the role? But it's more like a call to action. I'd include it as a
after the intro? But we already have About the role paragraph. Could add another
with that question. However we need to avoid filler. It's substantive? It's encouraging candidates. I'd keep it.
But we also have later: "If you so, the UVM Medical Center seeks qualified individuals to join the Security team on a per diem basis." That's also a call to action. Might be considered boilerplate? It's describing the position again. Could be part of About the role.
Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine many of these narrative sentences into About the role section.
Thus we could have About the role paragraph containing all descriptive sentences about the role, purpose, expectations, etc. Then Responsibilities bullet list. Then Requirements bullet list (availability, schedule, etc). Then Qualifications bullet list (education, driver's license). Then Experience bullet list (prior security experience preferred, healthcare setting a plus). Then Pay section with wage differential. Then Schedule section with variability, summer/winter, no committed schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine sentences:
"The per-diem role is primarily used to fill open shifts when our full‑time officers take time off for one reason or another. We are strictly interested in candidates who have a considerable amount of time in their schedules. Listed below are some of the conditions we look to meet when hiring someone as a per‑diem officer. If you feel you can meet most of these requirements, you would be a great candidate for the position. Thanks again for your interest!

That seems to capture all descriptive content.
Now Responsibilities: bullet list:
- Conduct patrol duties
- Respond immediately to calls for assistance
- Document services provided on each shift
- Act in a courteous and professional manner at all times
Now Requirements: bullet list (availability, shift times, weekend, flexible schedule, consistent availability, prompt response, work hours not guaranteed, variable, summer/winter). Also maybe include the "NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience" and differential? That's pay, but we could keep it in Pay section. However the requirements paragraph includes that sentence; we could still keep it in Requirements but better to move to Pay. We'll keep Pay separate.
Thus Requirements items:
- Must be available to work all shifts: Day 06:30 – 15:00; Evening 14:30 – 23:00; Night 22:30 – 07:00
- Some variable shifts may also
