Social Worker LCSW, Transplant Full-Time Days

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph about Northwestern Medicine, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About Northwestern Medicine". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. 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 for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Benefits (some description). No Pay or Schedule specifics. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Also Skills maybe not explicit separate; could be part of Qualifications. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly also "Requirements" but Qualifications covers. We'll follow typical: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (ul), Qualifications (ul), Benefits (ul or p). Ensure we preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate like EEO, AI disclosure, background check, etc. Remove those. Also remove "Job Description" heading? Not needed as heading. We'll keep content. We need to format lists: each duty as
