Skills Development Specialist - Designated Coordinator
or drop it." Contact could be considered minor metadata. We could include a short p with contact email and phone. But we might drop it to be safe. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; contact info is substantive? Possibly yes, but it's not about the job itself. The rule says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact is not explicitly excluded, but it's not part of job description; could be considered minor metadata. I'd include a short p with contact info maybe under About the role? But better to drop as it's not essential to role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Contact info is substantive for applicants. I'd keep it as a short p maybe after About the role. - Connect 700 Program applicant instructions: also application instructions? It's about how to apply for Connect 700; that's application instructions, should remove. - ADA accommodation contact: also application instructions? It's about accommodation; could be considered minor metadata but maybe keep as short p. - Certain disabled veterans legislation: also application instructions? It's about eligibility; could be considered minor metadata but maybe keep. - About Direct Care And Treatment: description of agency; could be About the role or separate About agency. Could be part of About the role. - Benefits: list of benefits; we should include Benefits section if posting actually states them. Yes, there is a Benefits section with bullet list. - Pay: Salary Range given; we should include Pay section. - Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Rotating Shift; Days of Work: Varies; Travel Required: Yes - 50%... Also Hours will vary, candidates must be available to work evenings and weekends as needed. So we have schedule info. Should include Schedule section. - Also we have Telework Eligible: No; Full/Part Time: Full-Time; Regular/Temporary: Unlimited; Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers; Date Posted; Closing Date; etc. These could be minor metadata; we could include them in a short p under About the role or separate meta. But rule says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can create a short p with metadata like Location, Full-Time, etc. But we need to decide where to place. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could include overview of position, agency description, maybe some generic statements about purpose, equity, etc. Also could include location, full-time, etc as minor metadata? But better to keep About the role focusing on role description. - Responsibilities: the Primary Responsibilities Include bullet list. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (the options). Could also include "Must have a valid Driver’s License", "Must be at least 18 years of age", "Ability to:" list. Those are requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could split: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications? But the instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide what to put under each. Typically Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = preferred or additional. Skills could be specific skills like coaching principles, etc. But we also have Knowledge of etc under Minimum Qualifications. Could treat those as Skills. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. But we must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications (Requirements), Preferred Qualifications (maybe Qualifications), Knowledge/Skills (maybe Skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also About the role. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But the instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have both mandatory and preferred; we can put mandatory under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills could be extracted from Knowledge of etc. But we could also put Knowledge of under Skills. Let's extract: Minimum Qualifications (mandatory): - 245D Designated Coordinator Requirements: 4 years of full-time work experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities or persons 65 years and older; AND A minimum of 50 hours of education and training related to human services and disabilities; OR A diploma in a field related to human services from an accredited post-secondary institution and 3 years full-time work experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities or persons 65 years and older; OR An associate degree in a field related to human services and 2 years full-time work experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities or persons 65 years and older; OR A bachelor’s degree in a field related to human services and 1 year full-time work experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities or persons 65 years and older. - Human Services related Degrees may include but not limited to: Family Social Sciences, Health Care Management, Special Education, Public Health, Recreational Therapy, Social Work, Alcohol and Drug Counseling, Social Science, Health Science, Psychology. - Candidates must also minimally meet these required qualifications: - Must have a valid Driver’s License - Must be at least 18 years of age - Ability to: * Develop person-centered support plans that use Positive Support principles and practices, including Person-Centered Thinking and Planning, Positive Behavior Support, and recovery-oriented mental health supports. * Communicate effectively, orally and in writing, to promote among team members a shared understanding of support goals and implementation of methods. * Develop a schedule of activities to ensure that resources are used effectively in implementing programs according to plans. * Apply consistent principles in assessing individuals’ interfering behavior, skill development needs, and progress toward achieving individual goals. * Work rotating or irregular hours as needed, or directed. * Provide direct care as needed. - Knowledge of: * Coaching principles sufficient to motivate and guide employees. * Support principles and techniques sufficient to plan, design, and implement individual program strategies for assigned individuals. Preferred Qualifications: - Our employees are dedicated to ensuring cultural responsiveness. Preferred candidates will have a variety of experiences working effectively with others from different backgrounds and cultures. - Lead work experience in a direct care setting. - Experience writing, modifying, or evaluating program plans. - Experience with financial management of home or individual accounts. Additional Requirements: - To facilitate proper crediting, please ensure that your resume clearly describes your experience in the areas listed and indicates the beginning and ending month and year for each job held. - REFERENCE/BACKGROUND CHECKS - Direct Care and Treatment will conduct reference checks to verify job-related credentials and criminal background check prior to appointment. We could treat Additional Requirements as part of Requirements or maybe as a note. Skills: Could be the Knowledge of and Ability to items. But those are already under Requirements. Maybe we can put Skills separate: e.g., Coaching principles, Support principles, etc. But we already have them under Ability to and Knowledge of. Might be redundant. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (including both mandatory and preferred). But the instruction list includes both headings; we could still include both if we have content. However we risk thin sections if we split too much. But we have decent content for both. Let's decide: - About the role: include overview: role description, agency purpose, location, full-time, etc maybe as short p. - Responsibilities: bullet list of Primary Responsibilities. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications (the 245D options, degree list, driver's license, age, ability to, knowledge of). Could also include Additional Requirements (resume description, reference/background checks) as part of Requirements. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications bullet list. - Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like "Coaching principles", "Support principles", "Develop person-centered support plans", "Communicate effectively", "Develop schedule", "Apply consistent principles", "Work rotating hours", "Provide direct care". But those are already in Requirements. Could still make a Skills section but might be thin. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if content is covered elsewhere. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. If we already covered skills under Requirements, we could still have a Skills section but would be duplicative. Better to omit Skills if not needed. - Benefits: bullet list of benefits. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: work shift, days of work, travel required, hours vary, evenings/weekends. We also have
