Senior Social Worker

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Summary: mentions EDRP eligibility, details about program, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years. That's about Benefits? Actually EDRP is a benefit. Also mentions "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" includes work schedule, recruitment/relocation incentives not authorized, EDRP authorized, contact, learn more, Pay, Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position. - Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements (citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure, education and experience, demonstrated knowledge - skills - abilities). Also mentions "The full performance level of this vacancy is GS-12". Also "Physical Requirements: The work does not inherently include physical requirements..." - Duties: includes functions and responsibilities list. - Also "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional 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". So schedule info. - Pay: "Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases when setting pay - a higher step rate of the appropriate grade may be determined after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs of the VA (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade)". So pay info. - Benefits: includes Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position. Also EDRP authorized. - Also "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not Authorized". Not needed maybe. - Also "Functional Statement #: 86327A Permanent Change of Station (PCS): Not Authorized". Not needed. We need to output sections: maybe About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills (maybe part of qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like EDRP program specifics, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, must apply within four months of appointment, etc. Also qualifications details: citizenship, English proficiency, master's degree from CSWE accredited school, licensure, experience, KSAs list. Duties list: many bullet points. Benefits: Paid Time Off details, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement, Insurance, Telework not available, Virtual not a virtual position, EDRP authorized, contact email. Pay: Competitive salary, regular salary increases, higher step rate possible, Above Minimum Rate of the Grade. Schedule: 8:00am - 4:30pm Monday thru Friday some evenings and weekends possible, standard operational hours with occasional evenings based on operational need. We need to format using

headings,

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide which content is list vs prose. For EDRP summary: could be prose. Qualifications: many items could be list. Duties: list. Benefits: could be list. Pay: prose. Schedule: prose. We must not include headings with no content. Let's craft sections:

  About the role

  ... summary about EDRP eligibility ...

  Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...

  Qualifications

  • ... each qualification ...
  Maybe also

  Skills

  but qualifications already includes KSAs; we could separate Skills as list of KSAs. But we can keep qualifications includes both requirements and skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate, but we can combine if content overlaps. Better to separate: Requirements (basic requirements: citizenship, English proficiency, education, licensure, education and experience) and Skills (demonstrated knowledge - skills - abilities). But we need to ensure we don't duplicate. Let's extract: Basic Requirements: - United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy - English Language Proficiency: Candidates must be proficient in spoken and written English to be appointed as authorized by 38 U.S.C.7403(f) - Education: Have a master's degree in social work from a school of social work fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
