Social Worker - Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program (BHIP)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Summary (About the role). Qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations). Duties (list). Benefits/Total Rewards (schedule, parental leave, childcare subsidy, retirement, insurance, telework). Pay? Not specified (no salary). So we should not include Pay section. Schedule is given: Work Schedule: 8:00am -4:30pm - Monday - Friday. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: parental leave, childcare subsidy, retirement, insurance, telework. Also maybe EDRP etc but that's maybe not benefit. We'll include Benefits section with those items. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove references like VA Careers - Social Work: youtube link? That's maybe not needed but it's a link; could be considered part of summary? Might be considered extraneous but it's not boilerplate; it's a link to video about social work. Might keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The youtube link is not those; could stay but maybe it's not essential. However it's a link; we could keep as part of summary? Might be considered extra but not prohibited. Safer to keep it as part of summary? It's not a heading; we can include as a
with the link. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from qualifications, duties, total rewards. We must format lists with
- . For prose use
. We need headings: About the role (maybe from Summary). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (qualifications). Benefits (total rewards). Schedule (work schedule). Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed; but qualifications include KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities). Could put under Requirements or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. We have qualifications and requirements overlapping. Could combine into Requirements. Could also have Skills section for KSAs. But we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications and KSAs), Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. Now craft HTML. We need to include all details: Summary: "The VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System is recruiting for a Social Worker with the Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program (BHIP). The incumbent functions as a member of the BHIP team in providing for the biopsychosocial assessment - DSM diagnosis - and treatment of veterans who require behavioral health interventions." We can put that in
. Qualifications: Basic Requirements: Citizenship, Education, Licensure, English Language Proficiency, Exception, Failure to Obtain License or Certification, Grade Determinations: GS-9 and GS-11 details, KSAs. We need to preserve all details; we can break into
- for each requirement. But we must not lose any detail like the statutes, links, etc. We'll include them as text inside
- .
We need to be careful not to include duplicated lines. The posting repeats some phrases; we need to deduplicate.
