OTHR$26.25/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview (maybe as for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. Location could be part of Overview paragraph.
Pay: "$26.25". Schedule: "Hours: Monday - Friday from 8am - 4:30pm or 8:30 am - 5:00 pm (40 hrs.)". So we have Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section.
Skills: Could be part of Qualifications & Attributes. But we could have a Skills section if we extract skills. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section.
Requirements: Could be Education & Experience.
Thus sections: Overview, Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities), Collaboration & Meetings (maybe part of Responsibilities?), Additional Support (maybe not needed), Qualifications (including Qualifications & Attributes, Education & Experience, Physical Requirements), Pay, Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, etc.
We need to use

The instructions: Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content exists. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have location given: "Location: Middletown, NY". That's a piece of info. Could be part of a short

maybe under Overview? Or we could create a

but not in the list of examples; but they said e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't forbid other headings, but they said use for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. Location could be part of Overview paragraph.

Overview
The Self-Direction Coordinator manages an assigned caseload and provides support to individuals and families enrolled in the New York State OPWDD Self-Direction program. This role oversees participant budgets to ensure effective utilization within established limits and full compliance with regulations, while maintaining a strong emphasis on quality customer service. Location: Middletown, NY.
Responsibilities
- Budget Management & Compliance
- Ensure all fiscal intermediary services comply with OPWDD regulations, policies, and funding guidelines.
- Review, verify, and approve invoices and payment requests in accordance with each participant’s approved Self-Direction budget.
- Review and approve Staff Action Plans, ensuring regulatory compliance
- Monitor budget usage to prevent overspending, underspending, and discrepancies.
- Review and submit budget amendments to the Developmental Disabilities Regional Office (DDRO).

But note: we should not nest inside - ? It's allowed but might be okay. However they said use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could flatten: each bullet as
- with the heading as part of text? Could also have subheadings inside
- using . Simpler: we can have separate sections for each responsibility category: Budget Management & Compliance, Participant & Family Support, Collaboration & Meetings, Additional Support. But that would be many sections. They said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe keep one Responsibilities section with a list where each item is a responsibility, possibly with sub-bullets.
We can do:
Responsibilities
- Budget Management & Compliance: ensure all fiscal intermediary services comply with OPWDD regulations, policies, and funding guidelines; review, verify, and approve invoices and payment requests; review and approve Staff Action Plans; monitor budget usage; review and submit budget amendments; review and approve Support Broker billing.
- Participant & Family Support: serve as main point of contact; provide guidance on fiscal policies, documentation requirements, and program procedures; assist participants and families with budgetary components to align with Life Plan goals.
- Collaboration & Meetings: attend Life Plan and Circle of Support meetings; participate in Community Class Approval Committee and other planning/review meetings; collaborate with Support Brokers, Care Managers, provider agencies; provide administrative support including data entry into EHR and CHOICES systems.
- Additional Support: other assignments as needed to support program and organizational goals.
That preserves info but condenses some detail. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot condense or summarize; we need to keep each bullet as is. So we need to keep each bullet point as separate - items, preserving the exact wording.
Thus we need a list where each bullet corresponds to each responsibility bullet from the posting. The posting had headings like "Budget Management & Compliance" then sub-bullets. We could treat each sub-bullet as a separate
- . But we also need to keep the heading "Budget Management & Compliance" maybe as a
- with sublist? That would be summarizing? Actually we could keep the heading as a
- and then nested list for sub-bullets. That preserves detail. However nested lists may be okay.
Alternatively we could flatten by making each sub-bullet a separate
- and precede it with a phrase like "Budget Management & Compliance – ..." but that changes wording. Better to keep heading as a
- and then nested list.
Thus:
Responsibilities
- Budget Management & Compliance
- Ensure all fiscal intermediary services comply with OPWDD regulations, policies, and funding guidelines.
- Review, verify, and approve invoices and payment requests in accordance with each participant’s approved Self-Direction budget.
- Review and approve Staff Action Plans, ensuring regulatory compliance
