Social Worker Mental Health Counselor/Inpatient - Per Diem
Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital · Greenport, NY · 4 wk ago
OTHR$36.164–$50.639/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary range: $36.164 - $50.639 per hour. Also Schedule: Per Diem. Also Benefits? Not explicitly listed; there is mention of benefits in overview? Not specific benefits. So we should not include Benefits section unless specific benefits listed. There's mention of "Your total compensation goes beyond the number in your paycheck!" but not specific benefits. So we omit Benefits.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Summary). Responsibilities (Job Duties & Essential Functions). Qualifications (Required Education & Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications). Skills? Could embed within Qualifications or separate? The instruction says use headings for Skills if there is content. We could include Skills if we extract skill statements from duties. But better to keep Qualifications and maybe Skills separate if we have skill list. The posting includes many skill-like statements: "Displays knowledge of alcohol and other addictive drugs...", "Displays knowledge of the disease concept, harm reduction...", etc. Those could be considered Skills. However we already have Qualifications covering education and experience. Might be okay to put those under Responsibilities or Skills. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Responsibilities and Skills into one? But we need to follow headings list; we can include only those sections that have content. Could do About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. That's five sections. Skills could be omitted if we incorporate into Responsibilities. Pay and Schedule are present.

We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, qualifications, etc. Must not drop any detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to strip out things like "Job Duties & Essential Functions" heading (we will replace with
Responsibilities
). Then list duties as - each duty.
We need to capture each duty sentence. There are many sentences; we need to split them into list items. Must preserve all info; we can break at periods but ensure we don't lose content. We'll produce list items for each duty.
Similarly for qualifications: Required Education & Qualifications: list items. Preferred Qualifications: list items.
Also include "Physical Demands" maybe as part of Responsibilities? It's a separate section but not in headings list; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section? Not in allowed headings list; but we could put under Responsibilities as it's part of job description. The instruction says use headings for those specific categories; we can still include other info under those headings. So we can include Physical Demands under Responsibilities as a list item.
Also "Special Notes" etc: we need to preserve substantive info; but many are boilerplate like "Resume/CV should be included..." that's application instruction, which we must remove per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we remove Special Notes about resume, etc. Also "Stony Brook Medicine is a smoke-free environment." That's maybe policy but not EEO; could be considered boilerplate? It's a workplace policy; not sure if we should keep. It's not EEO, but it's a policy statement. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not exactly those, but could be considered legal? It's a policy statement. Might be safe to keep? However it's not substantive to the role; it's a general policy. I'd lean to remove as it's not specific to job duties. Similarly "All Hospital positions may be subject to changes in pass days and shifts as necessary." That's schedule info but we already have schedule per diem; could be considered boilerplate. Might remove.
"This position may require the wearing of respiratory protection, which may prohibit the wearing of facial hair." That's a specific requirement; could be considered part of Physical Demands or Qualifications? It's a condition; maybe keep under Responsibilities or Physical Demands.
"This function/position maybe designated as “essential.” ..." That's also a condition; keep maybe under Responsibilities.
"Anticipated Pay Range" etc: we need to include Pay section with the salary range. Also the text about total compensation etc is boilerplate? Might be considered part of Pay but it's generic; we could keep the salary range and maybe note that total compensation goes beyond paycheck? That's generic; maybe we can keep just the salary range. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". The Pay section has actual numbers, so we can include.
We also have "Prior to start date, the selected candidate must meet the following requirements:" list of pre-employment requirements. Those are application instructions? They are conditions for hiring; maybe we should keep as part of Qualifications? They are not exactly qualifications but pre-employment checks. Could be considered part of Qualifications or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But we have no heading for Pre-employment; we could put under Qualifications as list items.
Also "Company Overview" is boilerplate about the organization; we should remove per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company overview is not EEO but could be considered boilerplate; but it's substantive info about the employer. The instruction says remove boilerplate; company overview might be considered boilerplate but it's not navigation/legal/EEO. However it's generic description; might be considered not essential to the job. Safer to remove.
"Job Field Social Work/Behavioral Health" maybe we could include as part of About the role? It's a field; could be included in About the role.
"Primary Location US-NY-Greenport" location; could be in About the role.
"Schedule Per Diem" we have Schedule section.
"Posting Start Date Sep 29, 2026 Posting End Date Ongoing" maybe we can drop as metadata; not required.
Thus final HTML:

Also pre-employment requirements list: we could include under Qualifications as additional items? They are not exactly qualifications but conditions. Might be better to put under Qualifications as "Pre-employment Requirements".
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
