We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, qualifications, duties, work schedule, pay, benefits, etc. We must use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many details: summary, qualifications (basic requirements, grade determinations, preferred experience), duties (list of responsibilities), work schedule, pay, benefits (PTO, parental leave, childcare subsidy, retirement, insurance, telework note). Also recruitment incentives not authorized.

We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay: "Competitive salary and regular salary increases". That's specific enough? It's vague but it's stated. We'll include Pay section.
Schedule: "Monday-Friday 7:30am-4pm". Good.
Benefits: list of PTO, parental leave, childcare subsidy, retirement, insurance, telework note (Ad-Ho Virtual: not a virtual position). We'll include.

About the role: summary paragraph.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
We'll start with
About the role
... summary ...
Then Responsibilities
... each duty as li.
Then Qualifications
maybe split into subsections? But we only have h3 headings allowed; we can have multiple h3 sections. Could have Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include all info.
Qualifications: include basic requirements (citizenship, English, education, licensure), grade determinations (GS-9, GS-11), preferred experience.
We'll put as maybe.
Skills: list KSAs.
Benefits: list PTO etc.
Pay: Competitive salary and regular salary increases
Schedule: Monday-Friday 7:30am-4pm
Make sure not to include boilerplate like "VA Careers - Social Work: https://youtube.com/embed/enRhz_ua_UU" (that's a link maybe part of duties? It's a URL; we can keep as part of duties? It's not substantive? It's a link to video; maybe we can keep as part of responsibilities? It's not a duty. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to a video about social work. Probably we can drop as it's not a duty. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That link is not exactly those but could be considered navigation? It's a YouTube embed. Might be considered extra. Safer to omit.
Also "Total Rewards of a Allied Health Professional" heading maybe not needed; we already have Benefits.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The duties list includes many items; we need to keep them.
