Senior Staff Assistant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, contact info? The instructions: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove contact information, application instructions, deadline? The deadline is maybe considered application instruction? It says "Deadline: Priority to applications received by September 25, 2026. Applications accepted until role is filled." That's application instruction; we should remove. Also contact info, link to apply, phone number for disability assistance. Also remove "Other important information about this vacancy:" maybe keep benefits? Benefits: "This position offers full New York State benefits which are among the most comprehensive in the country; see them here: https://www.suny.edu/benefits/benefit-summaries/." That's a benefit statement, we can include Benefits section with that info. Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Skills: maybe we can infer from qualifications? But we should not invent. If no explicit skills section, we can omit Skills. However we could include Skills if we have content like "Strong organizational skills" etc. But those are in qualifications. Better to keep Qualifications section. Responsibilities: duties. About the role: maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role. We have description: "SUNY New Paltz is seeking a 0.75 FTE, field placement coordinator with experience in School Counseling and/or Clinical Mental Health Counseling to join its CACREP-accredited and growing Counselor Education Department. The individual will coordinate the practicum and internship placements in school and mental health counseling for the Counselor Education Department." That's about the role. Also mention start date Oct 1, 2026. That's about role. Also mention commitment to training counseling students etc. That's responsibilities. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details like FTE, start date, department, etc. Also mention that candidates with diverse cultural experience encouraged. Also mention that position will start Oct 1, 2026. Also mention that it's SL-3 classification? Might be metadata but maybe not needed. Could include in About the role? It's minor metadata; we could fold into a short p. But we should not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; classification maybe minor metadata; we could include in a p. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AA/EOE/ADA, Clery report, etc. Also remove "All people with disabilities are encouraged to apply." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also remove "The State University of New York at New Paltz is an AA/EOE/ADA employer." Remove. Also remove "Federal law and regulations require notice..." etc. Remove. Also remove "Other important information about this vacancy:" maybe keep the benefits sentence and the descriptive sentences about university. Those are substantive? The description about university being highly selective, location, mission, inclusive excellence etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's about the institution; could be kept as part of About the role? Might be considered generic but it's specific to SUNY New Paltz. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The descriptive paragraph about the university is not exactly boilerplate; it's about the institution. Might keep as part of About the role or a separate section? There's no specific heading for "About the University". Could incorporate into About the role. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft sections:

We should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Skills section not present; we could omit. Check that we preserved all substantive info: FTE, start date, department, SL-3 classification (we included SL-3 in About the role). Mention that candidates with diverse cultural experience encouraged (we included in Responsibilities as "Demonstrate commitment to training counseling students and to mentoring a diverse student population." Also we could add a separate bullet about encouraging diverse cultural experience. Might be better to add a bullet: "Encourage applications from candidates with diverse cultural experience who are qualified to mentor and advise all members of our diverse student population." That's from the posting. Let's add that. Also we missed mention: "Candidates who bring diverse cultural experience and who are especially qualified to mentor and advise all members of our diverse student population are especially encouraged to apply." Add bullet. Also we missed mention: "This position will start by October 1, 2026." Already in About the role. Also we missed mention: "Posting Date: September 10, 2026" maybe minor metadata; could be omitted as not substantive? It's date of posting; maybe not needed. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Posting date is minor metadata; we could drop it. Probably okay to drop. Also we missed mention: "Budget Title: Senior Staff Assistant Local Title: Field Placement Coordinator" Could include in About the role: "Budget Title: Senior Staff Assistant (Local Title: Field Placement Coordinator)". Might be considered minor metadata but it's substantive title. Since the page already shows the job title, we should not repeat the job title as a heading, but we can include the local title in the description. The job title is "Field Placement Coordinator". The page already shows it, but we can still mention it in the description? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid mentioning it in prose. So we can include "Budget Title: Senior Staff Assistant (Local Title: Field Placement Coordinator)" in About the role paragraph. Also we missed mention: "Department: Counselor Education". Already included. Also we missed mention: "Classification: SL-3". Already included. Also we missed mention: "The individual will coordinate the practicum and internship placements in school and mental health counseling for the Counselor Education Department." Already in responsibilities. Also we missed mention: "Providing students with all necessary procedural and site information to ensure their readiness and ability to apply and enroll in practicum and internship courses." Already in responsibilities. Also we missed mention: "Providing training sessions for supervisors to ensure they are appropriately trained and understand the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of themselves, their institutions, the counselor education program, and the counselor education students." Already. Also we missed mention: "Serving as a primary liaison among students, site supervisors, faculty, and community partners regarding placement-related questions, concerns, and challenges." Already. Also we missed mention: "Securing and maintaining affiliation agreements between the College and placement sites; and managing associated administrative requirements and documentation." Already. Also we missed mention: "Ensuring that practicum and internship sites, supervisors, and placement processes meet departmental, institutional, and CACREP requirements." Already. Also we missed mention: "Establishing and maintaining relationships with practicum and internship sites and supervisors, including mental health agencies, clinics, hospitals, school districts, and individual schools;" Already.

Add bullet. Also we missed mention: "Preferred Graduate degree from a CACREP-accredited counseling program." Already. Also we missed mention: "New York State certification as a School Counselor and/or licensure as a Mental Health Counselor." Already. Also we missed mention: "Demonstrated experience working with clinical field placements, practicum/internship programs, counselor supervision, or the coordination of experiential/clinical education." Already. Also we missed mention: "Experience interpreting and applying professional, accreditation, institutional, or regulatory requirements, for example, CACREP standards governing practicum, internship, fieldwork sites, and supervision." Already. Also we missed mention: "The State University of New York at New Paltz is a highly selective, public University that is recognized regionally for the strength of its academic programs.
