Senior Counselor - Marriage and Family Therapist (Advanced)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties. Requirements? Qualifications? Skills? Benefits? Pay? Schedule? We need to include only sections with real specific content. We have content: Summary about EDRP eligibility, program details. That's like Benefits? Actually it's a program benefit. Could be under Benefits. Also mention Work Schedule: 8:00am - 4:30pm Monday thru Friday some evenings and weekends possible - standard operational hours with occasional evenings based on operational need of the facility. Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position. So schedule info present. Also mention Functional Statement #: 32348A Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Recruitment incentive may be authorized EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive Contact VHAEDRPProgramSupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance Learn more Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized We need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need headings:

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use only those headings if content exists. We have: - Benefits: EDRP eligibility, program details, recruitment incentive, contact, PCS not authorized. Also maybe mention "Relocation/Recruitment Incentives: Recruitment incentive may be authorized". That's benefit. - Schedule: Work schedule details. - Responsibilities/Duties: The "Duties" section with bullet-like paragraphs. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• items. - Qualifications: The qualifications section includes basic requirements, education, licensure, grade determinations, etc. We'll put under

  Qualifications

  with
  • . - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills section if no specific skills listed besides those in qualifications. The instructions: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we omit Skills. - Requirements: Could be similar to Qualifications; but we have Qualifications already. Could we also have Requirements? The posting includes "Basic Requirements" etc. That's part of qualifications. We could treat that as Requirements section. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Basic Requirements and Qualifications into one Qualifications section. Or we could have Requirements for basic requirements and Qualifications for grade determinations. But to avoid many thin sections, we can have one Qualifications section covering all. - About the role: Not present; we have a summary about EDRP but that's more benefits. Could treat as About the role? The summary describes position eligibility for EDRP, not role description. Might be better as About the role? But we have duties separate. The summary is about EDRP eligibility, not role. I'd treat that as Benefits (since it's a benefit program). So we omit About the role. - Pay: Not specified; we must not create Pay section if not stated. So omit. Thus final HTML:

    Benefits

    • ... items
    etc. Need to preserve all substantive info: Let's extract details. From Summary: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program.

Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application.
