Specialist, Shelter Engagement - Central Arkansas
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
Location: Remote in Central Arkansas - candidate will need to be located in Little Rock and surrounding areas (travel is expected to be up to 75% within the region)
Hiring Range: This position’s hiring range is anticipated to start at $58,656 annually, plus great benefits!
Then a narrative about job: Prison Break... etc. That's about the role description.
Culture Statement and Responsibility: includes statements about culture.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties.
Skills And Experience: list of skills/experience.
Physical Requirements: list.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (prose description), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe physical requirements? Or maybe combine with Skills?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (list of skills), Benefits (mention "plus great benefits!" but not detailed), Pay (hiring range $58,656 annually), Schedule (maybe travel up to 75% within state, etc). Also location maybe part of About the role.
We must only include sections when posting has real, specific content. So we need to include sections for which we have content.
Let's extract:
- About the role: The narrative about Prison Break etc and description of role: "Shelter Engagement Specialists are on the front line..." etc. Also location and travel expectation.
- Responsibilities: The list under "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". That's a list of duties.
- Requirements: Possibly the "Physical Requirements" and maybe "Background in animal sheltering..." etc. But those are more qualifications/skills. We can treat "Requirements" as mandatory items: background in animal sheltering required, valid driver's license for at least 3 years, ability to travel regularly up to 75%, ability to lift 40 pounds, etc. Also maybe "Must be able to work in environment that is not no-kill..." etc.
- Qualifications: Could be "Experience leading teams and implementing programs is preferred but not required. Bilingual or multilingual skills are preferred but not required." Those are preferred qualifications.
- Skills: list of skills: interpersonal, team player, problem solving, Microsoft Office, shelter software familiarity, advocating, volunteer/donor engagement, etc.
- Benefits: "plus great benefits!" Not detailed; but we have mention of benefits. However rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "plus great benefits!" but no detail. Is that enough? It's vague but it's a statement. Might be considered substantive? The rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they say "plus great benefits!" which is a statement but not specific. Might be considered filler? It's not a specific benefit. I'd lean to not include Benefits section because it's not specific. However they said "plus great benefits!" which is a benefit mention. Could include a short
stating "Great benefits offered." But that might be considered filler? The rule says avoid filler like "not specified". "great benefits" is vague but still a statement. I'd include a Benefits section with a
stating "Great benefits offered." Might be okay.
- Pay: Hiring range start at $58,656 annually. That's specific. So include Pay section.
- Schedule: Travel up to 75% within state, overnight stays, daily hours may vary, includes weekends, nights, holiday work. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Shelter Engagement Specialist.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
