Specialist Support Worker

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 as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "How To Apply", "Interviews", "OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING" maybe part of responsibilities? Actually safeguarding is a statement; could be part of responsibilities? But we can include as a paragraph under Responsibilities maybe. However we must not include application instructions. Also remove "Interviews", "OUR OFFER TO YOU" maybe benefits/pay. "OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING" maybe part of responsibilities or a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings; we could incorporate into Responsibilities as a paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, location, etc. Let's parse the posting: - Opening: "We are seeking to appoint a Specialist Support Worker for d/Deaf children and young people to work mainly within our Enhanced Learning Provisions in County Durham." - "WHAT IS INVOLVED?" then description: supporting pupils within classroom, 1:1 or small group specialist intervention, under guidance of specialist teachers. Initially based in primary provision but may be asked to work flexibly across any one of our primary, secondary and outreach settings, as and when the need arises. - Contact info: Gemma Scott phone and email. That's contact for further info; maybe we keep as a paragraph? It's not a heading; could be part of About the role? Might be considered metadata; but we can keep as a short p. - "WHAT WILL I NEED?" then list: You Will Have NNEB, Cache Level 3, BTEC Diploma in Childhood Studies or NVQ level 3 in Childcare and Educational/Early Years and Education, or working towards these qualifications. Experience of, or a demonstrable awareness and interest in, supporting individuals or small groups of d/Deaf pupils within primary or secondary schools. Experience of working with children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities in a mainstream setting. Skills in British Sign Language or a willingness to learn. Please refer to the attached Person Specification for the full criteria. - Optional: If successful, you will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced Disclosure. - "OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFEGUARDING" paragraph about safeguarding, DBS check etc. - "INTERVIEWS" paragraph about interview date and guaranteed interview scheme. This is application process; we should remove as per instruction: remove application instructions. Interview details maybe considered application instructions; we should drop. - "OUR OFFER TO YOU": competitive rewards package includes attractive salaries, generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days (rising to 32 after five years’ continuous local government service), membership of the excellent contributory career average Local Government Pension Scheme, and a range of flexible working arrangements including hybrid working (home and office) where applicable. Explore the full range of rewards and benefits on our website Rewards and benefits are subject to individual terms and conditions. - "EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION" paragraph about equal opportunities, Disability Confident Leader. - Then "How To Apply" etc: remove. - Then "CONNECT WITH US" social media etc: remove. - Then "#VPRS/161 Company: Durham County Council Salary: Grade 6 £29,071- £32,046 pro rata to hours worked Location: Durham, Durham Sector: Health and Social Care Sector: Social Care Job Role: Support Worker" We need to extract salary and location etc. Salary: Grade 6 £29,071- £32,046 pro rata to hours worked. Location: Durham, Durham (maybe duplicate). Sector: Health and Social Care, Social Care. Job Role: Support Worker (but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading). This metadata can be folded into a short p or dropped. We'll include a short p with location and salary maybe. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does state salary range and benefits (annual leave, pension, flexible working). So we can have a Benefits section (maybe includes leave, pension, flexible working). Pay section: we have salary range. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info, so we omit Schedule section. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Safeguarding? Not in list; we could incorporate into Responsibilities. Let's decide: - About the role: brief overview: Specialist Support Worker for d/Deaf children and young people, work mainly within Enhanced Learning Provisions in County Durham. - Responsibilities: supporting pupils within classroom, 1:1 or small group specialist intervention, under guidance of specialist teachers; initially based in primary provision but may be asked to work flexibly across primary, secondary and outreach settings as needed; commitment to safeguarding (maybe include statement). Could also include DBS requirement? That's part of safeguarding. - Requirements: maybe combine experience and qualifications? But we have separate Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. So: - Qualifications: NNEB, Cache Level 3, BTEC Diploma in Childhood Studies or NVQ level 3 in Childcare and Educational/Early Years and Education, or working towards these qualifications. - Skills: British Sign Language skills or willingness to learn. - Requirements: Experience of, or a demonstrable awareness and interest in, supporting individuals or small groups of d/Deaf pupils within primary or secondary schools; Experience of working with children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities in a mainstream setting. - Benefits: annual leave 27 days rising to 32 after five years continuous local government service; membership of Local Government Pension Scheme; flexible working arrangements including hybrid working where applicable. - Pay: Grade 6 £29,071- £32,046 pro rata to hours worked. We also might include location in a short p before sections. We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate. Remove contact info? The contact info is "For further information about the post please contact Gemma Scott..." This is not boilerplate; it's substantive. Should we keep? It's not a heading; we could include as a short p under About the role maybe. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep contact info. It's not a heading; we can put as a paragraph. Also "Optional If successful, you will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced Disclosure." That's a requirement; we could include under Requirements or Responsibilities. Probably under Requirements as a condition. We must remove "Interviews", "How To Apply", "CONNECT WITH US", equality/diversity statement? Equality statement is substantive but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role or a separate paragraph. But we can keep as a paragraph maybe under About the role. However the instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The equality statement might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the posting's commitment. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the equality, diversity, inclusion paragraph. Similarly remove safeguarding? It's not EEO but it's about safeguarding; maybe keep as it's relevant to role. But the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Safeguarding is legal but maybe not boilerplate? It's a statement about DBS etc. Might be considered legal. However it's substantive for the role (DBS requirement). We could keep the DBS requirement as part of Requirements. The safeguarding paragraph includes details about DBS check; we can keep that as part of Requirements. Thus we will remove the equality/diversity/inclusion paragraph. Now produce HTML. Structure:

Location: Durham, Durham. Salary: Grade 6 £29,071- £32,046 pro rata to hours worked.

We must not include empty sections. Let's craft content. About the role: "We are seeking to appoint a Specialist Support Worker for d/Deaf children and young people to work mainly within our Enhanced Learning Provisions in County Durham. For further information about the post please contact Gemma Scott (Deaf and Hearing Support Team Lead) on 07766070042 or via email at Gemma.Scott@durham.gov.uk." Responsibilities: bullet points: - Supporting pupils within the classroom as well as in 1:1 or small group specialist intervention situations, under the guidance of specialist teachers. - Initially based in the primary provision but may be asked to work flexibly across any one of our primary, secondary and outreach settings as and when the need arises. - Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults; successful applicants will be required to obtain an Enhanced DBS check (including Children’s Barred List) as the role involves regulated activity. Requirements: bullet points: - Experience of, or a demonstrable awareness and interest in, supporting individuals or small groups of d/Deaf pupils within primary or secondary schools. - Experience of working with children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities in a mainstream setting. - If successful, you will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service Enhanced Disclosure. Qualifications: bullet points: - NNEB, Cache Level 3, BTEC Diploma in Childhood Studies or NVQ level 3 in Childcare and Educational/Early Years and Education, or working towards these qualifications. Skills: bullet points: - Skills in British Sign Language or a willingness to learn. Benefits: bullet points: - Generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days (rising to 32 days after five years’ continuous local government service). - Membership of the excellent contributory career average Local Government Pension Scheme. - Flexible working arrangements including hybrid working (home and office) where applicable. Pay: paragraph: Grade 6 £29,071- £32,046 pro rata to hours worked. We already had location/salary p earlier; but we now have Pay section with salary. To avoid duplication, we can either keep location p separate and Pay section just repeats salary; but duplication is discouraged. Better to have location p separate and Pay section maybe just repeats salary? Could combine location and pay in one p before sections, and Pay section could be omitted? But we need Pay section if we have salary info. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could include location in About the role paragraph. Actually location could be part of About the role. Let's incorporate location into About the role: "We are seeking to appoint a Specialist Support Worker for d/Deaf children and young people to work mainly within our Enhanced Learning Provisions in County Durham." That already mentions County Durham. So location is covered. Salary we need Pay section. Thus we can drop the initial location/salary p. Now About the role paragraph includes role description and contact info. Let's craft final HTML. Check for any leftover boilerplate:
