Shelter Medical Assistant - New York, NY

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. We need to extract content: location, hiring range, summary, essential duties and responsibilities, skills and experience, physical requirements, maybe schedule (daily hours may vary). Also benefits mentioned: "plus great benefits!" but not detailed; we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. The posting says "plus great benefits!" but no details, so we should not create Benefits section because it's vague. Pay: hiring range given $24-25 per hour. So we can create Pay section with that. Schedule: "Daily hours and days of the week may vary according to the needs of the department schedule; position includes weekends, nights, and holiday work." That's schedule info, we can create Schedule section. We need to avoid repeating job title. No headings for Job ID etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. We have Summary (could be About the role). We have Essential Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities). We have Skills And Experience (Skills). We have Physical Requirements (maybe Qualifications? but could be Requirements). We have Pay. We have Schedule. We have location and hiring range maybe in a short p. We should not create Benefits section because no detail. Also not create Requirements/Qualifications unless we have content. We could put Physical Requirements under Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we can choose which to include. Probably include About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Skills, Pay, Schedule, and maybe Requirements (physical requirements). Could also include Qualifications (education/experience). The Skills And Experience section includes both skills and experience/qualifications. Might split: Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (skills). But we have only one combined section. We could treat it as Skills (including experience). Or we could create Qualifications for education/experience and Skills for skills list. Let's parse: Skills And Experience bullet list includes: - Some formal education from an AVMA accredited veterinary technician certification program preferred but not required. - A minimum of two years working experience in veterinary medicine setting or equivalent work experience in an animal welfare or nonprofit setting. - Bilingual or multi-lingual skills preferred but not required. - Customer-centric, non-judgmental approach... - Ability to work with, leash, kennel, walk, and handle cats and dogs... - Strong interpersonal skills... - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment... - Resourceful, get-it-done attitude... - Proficiency with Microsoft Office products; familiarity with shelter software... Thus we could split into Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (the rest). But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be okay to have just Skills section covering all. But we also have Physical Requirements separate. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, hiring range, summary, duties, skills/experience, physical requirements, pay, schedule. We'll create sections:

      schedule info. We should not include Benefits. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No extra headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We need to preserve all substantive information: location (307 W Broadway, New York, NY 11206) and hiring range. Location could be placed in a

      before sections or within About the role? Probably a short p after heading? The instruction: fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it. So we can put location in a

      before sections. We also have "Thank you for your interest..." and EEO boilerplate etc which we need to remove. Let's extract duties list from "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". It's a long paragraph with multiple sentences separated by semicolons. We need to turn each duty into

    • . We need to parse. The text: "Essential Duties And Responsibilities Demonstrate kindness and the Golden Rule in our everyday actions by practicing inclusion and respect for every person for the value they bring to the table. Be a role model for the spirit of authenticity, kindness and positive influence with each other, our visitors, and volunteers as well as to the animals every day. This includes listening, being present, being supportive of others and demonstrating compassion and curiosity in conflict.Perform basic medical care including but not limited to intravenous injections, blood draws, medicating, vaccinating, subcutaneous fluids, catheter placement, and microchipping under the direction of a veterinarian; have a comprehensive knowledge of sterile techniques, basic knowledge of surgical instruments, and general pharmacology, anesthesia monitoring, surgical induction and recovery; skilled understanding of humane restraint for medical procedures and emergency stabilization procedures.Maintain a clean and disinfected working environment, maintain controlled substances logs, accurately enter, and maintain patient and client medical data.Support, empower and enable volunteers and foster parents with the goal of utilizing volunteers to expand Best Friends lifesaving capacity; assist with client communications including aftercare and emergency support.Provide basic care such as feeding, cleaning, walking, and socialization for animals temporarily housed or transported within Lifesaving Center vehicles, buildings, or facilities.Deliver superior customer service; communicate (or develop communications) about and maintain knowledge of Best Friends and community partner programs. Work collaboratively with Best Friends’ team members in all areas of operations to achieve lifesaving goals; follow Best Friends policies, procedures, and task lists for daily lifesaving outcome assignments, including accurate and timely communications, work completion, data entry, and recordkeeping.Maintain a safe workplace, value, and model safe work practices, adhering to organizational safety practices and rules, and communicating to leadership about unsafe practices and conditions." We need to split into logical duties. Could break at each sentence that starts with a verb. Let's attempt: - Demonstrate kindness and the Golden Rule in our everyday actions by practicing inclusion and respect for every person for the value they bring to the table. - Be a role model for the spirit of authenticity, kindness and positive influence with each other, our visitors, and volunteers as well as to the animals every day. This includes listening, being present, being supportive of others and demonstrating compassion and curiosity in conflict. - Perform basic medical care including but not limited to intravenous injections, blood draws, medicating, vaccinating, subcutaneous fluids, catheter placement, and microchipping under the direction of a veterinarian; have a comprehensive knowledge of sterile techniques, basic knowledge of surgical instruments, and general pharmacology, anesthesia monitoring, surgical induction and recovery; skilled understanding of humane restraint for medical procedures and emergency stabilization procedures. - Maintain a clean and disinfected working environment, maintain controlled substances logs, accurately enter, and maintain patient and client medical data. - Support, empower and enable volunteers and foster parents with the goal of utilizing volunteers to expand Best Friends lifesaving capacity; assist with client communications including aftercare and emergency support. - Provide basic care such as feeding, cleaning, walking, and socialization for animals temporarily housed or transported within Lifesaving Center vehicles, buildings, or facilities. - Deliver superior customer service; communicate (or develop communications) about and maintain knowledge of Best Friends and community partner programs. - Work collaboratively with Best Friends’ team members in all areas of operations to achieve lifesaving goals; follow Best Friends policies, procedures, and task lists for daily lifesaving outcome assignments, including accurate and timely communications, work completion, data entry, and recordkeeping. - Maintain a safe workplace, value, and model safe work practices, adhering to organizational safety practices and rules, and communicating to leadership about unsafe practices and conditions. That seems comprehensive. Now Skills And Experience list: "Some formal education from an AVMA accredited veterinary technician certification program preferred but not required. A minimum of two years working experience in veterinary medicine setting or equivalent work experience in an animal welfare or nonprofit setting. Bilingual or multi-lingual skills preferred but not required. Customer-centric, non-judgmental approach to engaging with adopters, partners, visitors, volunteers, and colleagues; familiarity and comfort with a conversational adoption process. Ability to work with, leash, kennel, walk, and handle cats and dogs, including those with health and/or behavior conditions/concerns; basic ability to identify and speak to medical and behavioral characteristics of dogs and cats. Strong interpersonal skills, a team player, personable, professional, and able to get along with people from different backgrounds, as well as the ability to handle sensitive and confidential situations. Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with well-developed organization skills to juggle multiple competing tasks and demands. Resourceful, get-it-done attitude; initiative to assist in any area or process; problem solving, seeking answers independently and enthusiastically; flexibility to persist until goals are achieved. Proficiency with Microsoft Office products; familiarity with shelter software/animal management software, or desire to learn." We'll make each bullet. Physical Requirements: "Routinely lift 40 pounds and perform daily strenuous activity including, but not limited to lifting, carrying, reaching, stooping, squatting, cleaning, and bending. Perform repetitive tasks for extended periods of time including typing, sitting, walking, arm, and hand motion. Work indoors and outdoors in a variety of weather conditions including extreme heat and cold. Exposure to dogs, cats and other animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical status. Valid driver’s license, meeting Best Friends Animal Society’s driver qualification standards; ability to travel, including overnight stays, when needed. Daily hours and days of the week may vary according to the needs of the department schedule; position includes weekends, nights, and holiday work." But note the last sentence about schedule is also in Physical Requirements but we already have schedule section. Might duplicate. Actually the schedule info appears at end of Physical Requirements paragraph. We'll keep schedule separate and maybe not duplicate. The physical requirements list should exclude the schedule sentence. So we will separate: Physical Requirements bullets for first five items; schedule sentence goes to Schedule section. Thus Physical Requirements bullets: - Routinely lift 40 pounds and perform daily strenuous activity including, but not limited to lifting, carrying, reaching, stooping, squatting, cleaning, and bending. - Perform repetitive tasks for extended periods of time including typing, sitting, walking, arm, and hand motion. - Work indoors and outdoors in a variety of weather conditions including extreme heat and cold. - Exposure to dogs, cats and other animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical status. - Valid driver’s license, meeting Best Friends Animal Society’s driver qualification standards; ability to travel, including overnight stays, when needed. Schedule section: "Daily hours and days of the week may vary according to the needs of the department schedule; position includes weekends, nights, and holiday work." Pay section: "This position’s hiring range is anticipated to be $24 - $25 per hour, depending on experience, plus great benefits!" We can keep that but maybe remove "plus great benefits!" as it's vague. But we can keep the range. We'll output: "

      This position’s hiring range is anticipated to be $24 - $25 per hour, depending on experience.
