We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. Need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove navigation, EEO, etc. Also need to include Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Hiring Range: $57,800.00 - $62,800.00 annually" and "Anticipated Hiring Rate: $60,538.40 annually". That's pay info, so include Pay section. Schedule: "The average workday hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Schedule is subject to change. Hybrid schedule may be available upon successful completion of the initial evaluation period; subject to change." Also "This position may require a 24/7 on-call and after-hours rotational schedule." So schedule info present, include Schedule section. Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of mileage reimbursement available upon request, but not a benefits list. Probably not enough to create Benefits section. Could include maybe but rule: only include if posting actually states them. Mileage reimbursement is a benefit but not a list. Might be okay to include Benefits with that? But safer to omit Benefits if not explicit list. Skills: Could extract from Qualifications/Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. That section includes many abilities. Could treat as Skills section. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have About the role? Could use Job Summary as About the role. The posting includes Vision, Purpose, Values, Job Summary. Could combine into About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Duties/Responsibilities section. Requirements: Could be Qualifications? Actually Requirements could be education/experience/licenses. We'll have Qualifications section for education/experience/licenses. Skills could be Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. Thus sections: About the role (Vision, Purpose, Values, Job Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Duties/Responsibilities). Qualifications (Required Education & Experience, Licenses/Certificates, Pre-Employment Requirements, Work Conditions maybe? Work Conditions could be part of Qualifications or separate? Might be part of Requirements. But we have limited headings; we could put Work Conditions under Qualifications or maybe under Requirements. Since we have Requirements heading, we could put education/experience/licenses there. Skills heading for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. Pay section. Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information. Need to include details like Vision, Purpose, Values, Job Summary text. Also include note about uploading transcripts. Also include statement about child protection position, flexibility, etc. Also include overview of casework teams details. Also include statement about position may close without notice. Also include description of role responsibilities etc. Also include supervision exercised/received. Also include qualifications details. Also include work conditions. Also include pay and schedule. We must remove boilerplate: "Need help with applying? Visit our Talent Acquisition page here for application guidance and resources." That's navigation/instructions, remove. Also remove EEO statements at end: "El Paso County is an E-Verify and Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "El Paso County adheres to Federal drug screening guidelines..." etc. Also remove "Please be advised that this position may close without advanced notice..." that's substantive? It's about hiring process, maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's about position may close. Keep. Also remove duplicated lines: there is duplicate sentence about child protection position flexibility appears twice; we should keep only one instance? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate identical sentences. There's duplicate: "This is a child protection position; child protection includes engaging families. It is reasonable to anticipate the need for flexibility in work hours periodically to accommodate client schedules." appears twice. Keep one. Also duplicate overview of casework teams? Not duplicate. Also duplicate "Overview of Casework Teams:" etc. We need to ensure we keep all unique substantive content. Let's extract content: Vision: "El Paso County will be a trusted regional leader known for excellence in county service delivery." Purpose: "We provide essential public services to the Pikes Peak Region in support of our residents, businesses, and communities, enhancing the freedom for all to thrive." Values: list: Service Focused Collaborative Accountable Trustworthy Transparent (maybe as bullet list). Job Summary: "To be considered, applicants must upload their unofficial transcripts with their completed application.** Come join our team to help your community and make meaningful connections! We strive to protect our most vulnerable citizens while aiming to keep families together and help them to become self-sufficient. This is a child protection position; child protection includes engaging families. It is reasonable to anticipate the need for flexibility in work hours periodically to accommodate client schedules. Would you like more information on being a caseworker? Check out the links below: Caseworker Realistic Job Preview The Reality of Child Protective Services | Tough Jobs" But we need to remove application guidance links? The "Would you like more information on being a caseworker? Check out the links below: Caseworker Realistic Job Preview The Reality of Child Protective Services | Tough Jobs" is maybe not boilerplate but could be considered navigation? It's a link suggestion; maybe remove as it's not substantive? It's a referral to external links; could be considered boilerplate? Probably remove as it's not essential job info. However the instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is application guidance? It's a link to realistic job preview; could be considered application instruction. Safer to remove that sentence. Thus Job Summary after cleaning: "Come join our team to help your community and make meaningful connections! We strive to protect our most vulnerable citizens while aiming to keep families together and help them to become self-sufficient. This is a child protection position; child protection includes engaging families. It is reasonable to anticipate the need for flexibility in work hours periodically to accommodate client schedules." Also note about uploading transcripts: "To be considered, applicants must upload their unofficial transcripts with their completed application." That's important; keep at start. Thus Job Summary: "To be considered, applicants must upload their unofficial transcripts with their completed application. Come join our team to help your community and make meaningful connections! We strive to protect our most vulnerable citizens while aiming to keep families together and help them to become self-sufficient. This is a child protection position; child protection includes engaging families. It is reasonable to anticipate the need for flexibility in work hours periodically to accommodate client schedules." Now Hiring Range and Anticipated Hiring Rate: include in Pay. Schedule: "The average workday hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Schedule is subject to change. Hybrid schedule may be available upon successful completion of the initial evaluation period; subject to change. This position may require a 24/7 on-call and after-hours rotational schedule." Also mention "Hybrid remote work environment dependent upon Department discretion and business needs." That's work conditions. Now Responsibilities: Essential Duties/Responsibilities paragraph (long). Need to keep as is, maybe break into
  • for list of duties? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities paragraph is a long sentence with many duties separated by semicolons. Could convert each duty to list items. Better to parse into list items. Let's extract duties separated by semicolons: - Interviews clients and develops appropriate treatment plans - initiates and/or participates in home studies, and provides intensive casework services to families and children - investigates allegations of child abuse and assesses imminent danger for children - makes referrals to community resources and collateral contacts - Monitors and reports clients' progress and provides service recommendations/referrals - Ensures that needed services are being provided, that treatment plans are being followed through in a timely manner and determines the appropriateness of the placement and services provided - Addresses child safety issues in the home to mitigate safety concerns; ensures that children in the department's custody or supervision receive necessary interventions - Provides crisis management and coordinates support services for clients to resolve problems and conflicts - Acts as a liaison for the DHS and consults with other caseworkers and community professionals on case situations, treatment/case plans, issues, and problems - Provides casework and assessment services for teams within the Practice Unit - Attends and testifies in court hearings and mediations as needed; completes appropriate paperwork, documentation, reports, reviews, etc. for court hearings monitors clients' compliance with court orders; serves temporary custody notices and petitions the court for verbal orders - Prepares for and participates in meetings and staffings - Documents all contacts and ensures that all paperwork and documentation are accurately completed and filed; completes necessary case information reports, inputs updates into database - Arranges and provides transportation for clients to appointments, therapy, school, court hearings, pre-placement visits, etc - Ensures compliance with Federal, State and County laws, outcome measures, rules, and regulations; reviews cases to ensure case plans are developed and implemented - Provides support to Practice and Support and Services teams within the CYFS Division as needed - Collects and reports statistics and data on unit and outcomes and performances - Facilitates meetings as needed - Performs other duties as required We need to ensure no duplication. Some items have multiple parts separated by semicolons; we can split. Now Supervision Exercised and Received: could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Could include under Responsibilities as bullet? Might be better to include under Responsibilities as separate bullets. Now Qualifications: Required Education & Experience, Licenses/Certificates, Pre-Employment Requirements, Work Conditions. We need to keep all details.
