The senior social worker may be assigned administrative responsibility for clinical program development and is accountable for clinical program effectiveness and modification of service patterns. Assignments include clinical settings where they have limited access to onsite supervision such as CBOCs or satellite outpatient clinics. The senior social worker collaborates with the other members of the treatment team in the provision of comprehensive health care services to Veterans - ensures equity of access - service - and benefits to this population - ensures the care provided is of the highest quality. The senior social worker provides leadership - direction - orientation - coaching - in-service training - staff development - and continuing education programs for assigned social work staff. They serve on committees - work groups - and task forces at the facility - VISN and national level - or in the community as deemed appropriate by the supervisor - Social Work Executive or Chief of Social Work Services.

Physical Requirements: See VA Directive and Handbook 5019. Duties: VA Careers - Licensed Clinical Social Worker: youtube link (maybe ignore as boilerplate? It's a link but maybe considered substantive? It's a video link; but it's likely considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The youtube link might be considered part of duties? It says "VA Careers - Licensed Clinical Social Worker: https://youtube.com/embed/U_xC25QsN0w". That seems like a promotional video; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of duties description? Might keep as part of duties? However it's a link to a video; not sure if we should keep. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The video link is substantive? It's a link to a video about the role. Might be considered part of the posting. I'd keep it as a link within duties. Then duties list: many bullet points.

We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure each section has real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll use

for each section heading. Inside each, use

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not omit details like links. We'll include links as . We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Learn more", "Contact VISN15EDRP@Va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance" maybe that's substantive (contact). Keep it. We should not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Summary EDRP: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. You must meet specific individual eligibility requirements in accordance with VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after complete review of the EDRP application." Note there is a weird spacing "$200 -000" maybe it's $200,000. We'll keep as written. Qualifications section: includes "Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met." Basic Requirements: list items. We'll combine Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations under Requirements/Qualifications. Better to have: - About the role: includes EDRP summary, location (Harry S Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital, Behavioral Health Service Line), grade GS-12, maybe mention it's a Senior Social Worker. - Responsibilities: duties list (the long list of duties). We'll put as
  . - Requirements: citizenship, education, licensure, English proficiency, physical requirements (reference to VA Directive and Handbook 5019). Also maybe include "Applicants pending completion..." as part of Requirements. - Qualifications: experience/education (2 years post advanced practice clinical licensure, specialized area, one year GS-11 equivalent), licensure/certification (advanced practice license, supervision ability), KSAs (list a-e), assignments (higher-level duties, scope, complexity, 25% time, administrative responsibility, clinical program development, etc.), grandfathering provision note. - Skills: maybe we can put KSAs under Skills instead of Qualifications. But we already have KSAs under Qualifications. Could separate: Qualifications = experience/education, licensure; Skills = KSAs (a)-(e). Assignments maybe under Responsibilities? But assignments are about higher-level duties; could be part of Responsibilities. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think. We have many details; we can
