Security Team Specialist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: About the Department of Developmental Services (maybe "About the Department" but we can use "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have content: Job Responsibilities (list). Preferred Qualifications (list). Also Minimum Entrance Requirements (list). Also Pre-Hire Process (maybe not needed). Also Schedule Information (full-time, shift). Also Benefits (Comprehensive Benefits). Also Pay? Not given specific salary; only "Salary placement is determined by a combination of factors..." No explicit pay range. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits: they mention "Comprehensive Benefits" and link to explore. That's a statement of benefits, so we can include Benefits section. Pay: they mention salary placement but no specific numbers; that's vague. The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). Since they didn't give a specific pay range, we should not include Pay section. Schedule: they gave schedule info (full-time, 3rd shift, days off). So we can include Schedule section.
We also need About the role? Could use "About the Department" but heading must be from list; we could use "About the role" as heading and put the department description. That seems acceptable.
Responsibilities: we have list.
Requirements/Qualifications: we have Preferred Qualifications, Minimum Entrance Requirements, also maybe "Qualifications" heading could combine. We need to decide: Use for Requirements and Qualifications separate? The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections if content distinct. But we must avoid thin sections. We have Preferred Qualifications (list) and Minimum Entrance Requirements (list). Could combine into Qualifications section. Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Both are substantive. Let's do Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). That seems okay.
Skills: not explicitly listed; we could omit.
Benefits: we have statement.
Schedule: we have details.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie etc. Not present.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from responsibilities, qualifications, schedule, benefits, about department.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We need to include the schedule details: Full-time – 40-hour weekly position; Schedule – 3rd shift: 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday; Days off – Sunday and Monday; Flexibility with work schedule will be required.
We need to include the benefits statement: "Comprehensive BenefitsWhen you embark on a career with the Commonwealth, you are offered an outstanding suite of employee benefits that add to the overall value of your compensation package. We take pride in providing a work experience that supports you, your loved ones, and your future.Want the specifics? Explore our Employee Benefits and Rewards!" plus maybe mention vaccination requirement? That's under Title 101 CMR 23.00; it's a requirement not benefit. Could be part of Requirements? It's a condition: successful candidates will be required to acknowledge and attest to vaccination status. That's a requirement. Could include under Requirements or Qualifications. Might be better to include under Requirements as a note.
We also have Pre-Hire Process details (background checks). That's part of hiring process; could be included under Requirements? Might be considered part of Qualifications? But it's a process, not a qualification. The instruction says preserve all substantive information; we could include a section like "Pre‑hire Process" but not in allowed headings. We could fold into Requirements or Qualifications as a paragraph. Probably better to include under Requirements as a paragraph about pre-employment screening.
We also have "About the Department of Developmental Services" paragraph. That's suitable for About the role.
We also have "Facility is located on a 400 acre campus; providing services for a 250-bed facility..." That's part of description; could be included in About the role.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
Let's extract sections:
About the role (or About the Department): combine the introductory paragraph about DDS mission and facility description.
Responsibilities: bullet list.
Requirements: Minimum Entrance Requirements (A or B) plus pre-employment screening details (background checks, CPR/AED/first aid for certain departments? Actually that's for DYS, DMH, DPH; not for DDS? It says applicants applying for positions within DYS, DMH, DPH are required to obtain CPR etc. This position is DDS, so not required. But we can still mention that it's not required? Better to omit if not applicable. The Minimum Entrance Requirements: (A) at least one year experience in protection/security; (B) any equivalent combination. Also Substitutions: Associate's degree or higher may substitute for experience. Also need valid motor vehicle driver's license. Also need to be eligible for appointment as special police officer under MA General Laws. Also need acceptable driving record. Also need knowledge of methods and procedures, understanding of laws governing arrest/search/seizure. Also need to hold acceptable driving record (duplicate). Also need to be eligible for special police officer. Also need to hold an Associates degree or higher (preferred). Actually Preferred Qualifications includes: eligible for special police officer, Associates degree or higher, knowledge of methods, understanding of laws, acceptable driving record. So we can combine.
We also have "Candidate will be in possession of an Associates degree or higher." That's preferred.
We also have "Knowledge of methods and procedures followed in security of buildings and property." etc.
We also have "Candidate will hold an acceptable driving record."
We also have "Please Note: This position is located in Wrentham, MA for the Wrentham Developmental Center (WDC). - This position is designated as an "EMERGENCY" position ... - This position is in a program that operates 24-hour/7 days a week. Candidates must be flexible in their work schedule. - The Department requires employees in this position to be able to perform Mandatory Overtime when circumstances dictate the need."
These are schedule/requirements notes; we can incorporate into Schedule or Requirements.
We have Schedule Information already.
We have Benefits.
We have Pay? Not specific.
We have "Salary placement is determined by a combination of factors..." Not specific; avoid Pay section.
We have "Comprehensive Benefits" paragraph.
We have "Title 101 CMR 23.00 ..." vaccination requirement; that's a requirement.
We have "An Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer..." boilerplate; remove.
We have "For questions regarding this requisition, please contact..." that's application instruction; remove.
We have "Qualifications First consideration will be given to those applicants that apply within the first 14 days." That's about timing; could be considered a note but maybe we can include under Requirements as a note? It's not a qualification but a process. Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to posting; we could include under Requirements as a note about application timing. But instruction says remove application instructions. This is about first consideration timing; could be considered application instruction. Safer to omit.
We have "Minimum Entrance Requirements: Applicants must have (A) at least one (1) year of full-time or equivalent part-time, experience in work involving the protection and/or security of buildings, equipment or individuals, or (B) any equivalent combination of the required experience and the substitutions below." Keep.
We have "Substitutions: I. An Associate’s degree or higher in a related field may substitute for the required experience. Incumbents may be required to have a current and valid motor vehicle driver’s license at a class level specific to assignment." Keep.
We have "Salary placement is determined by a combination of factors..." we avoid Pay.
We have "Comprehensive Benefits..." keep.
We have "Title 101 CMR 23.00 ..." keep as requirement.
We have "An Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer..." remove.

Maybe also include a list for requirements? Could be list but we have multiple items; we can use for clarity.
Better to split: Requirements as list of items.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
But we already have many items; maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Qualifications section? However we have both minimum and preferred; we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Let's do that.
Thus:
Requirements
- At least one year of full‑time or equivalent part‑time experience in protection/security of buildings, equipment, or individuals, or an equivalent combination.
- An Associate’s degree or higher in a related field may substitute for the required experience.
- Must be eligible for appointment as a special police officer under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 22C, Section 60 (DPH) and Section 59 (DMH & DMR).
- Must hold an acceptable driving record.
- Possess knowledge of methods and procedures followed in security of buildings and property.
- Understand the laws, rules and regulations governing arrest, search and seizure.
- Must be able to acknowledge and attest to COVID‑19 and Influenza vaccination status (or have taken required mitigation measures) per Title 101 CMR 23.00.
- Must successfully complete pre‑employment screening including CPPD Abuse Registry search, CORI background check, national fingerprint‑based background check, and verification of education/licensure.
Qualifications
- Associate’s degree or higher (preferred).
- Knowledge of methods and procedures followed in security of buildings and property (re‑stated? maybe duplicate). Actually that's already in requirements; but we can keep as preferred.
- Understanding of the laws, rules and regulations governing arrest, search and seizure.
- Acceptable driving record.
But we have duplication; maybe better to not duplicate. Instead, we can have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred) where preferred includes Associates degree or higher, and maybe other preferred items like "Experience with special police officer appointment" etc. However the posting lists Preferred Qualifications as: eligible for special police officer, Associates degree or higher, knowledge of methods, understanding of laws, acceptable driving record. That's basically same as requirements except the experience substitution. So we could treat the experience requirement as minimum, and the rest as qualifications. Let's do:
Requirements (minimum):
