Staff Attorney, New York

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Young Center" and "Duties And Responsibilities", "Minimum Requirements And Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Physical Demands", "Application Details" (but we must remove application instructions, EEO, etc). We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "APPLICATION DETAILS" content that includes instructions to apply, etc. However we may keep salary range and benefits if they are present. The posting includes salary range and benefits description. So we can have a Benefits section (maybe combine with Pay?). The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the Young Center (maybe rename to About the organization?), Duties and Responsibilities, Minimum Requirements and Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Demands, Pay and Benefits (if both present). However we must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". The salary range is specific: $86,882.45 - $99,485.73. Benefits: health/dental/vision insurance at no cost, paid vacation, sick time, 401(k) with employer match. So we can include a Benefits section. Pay section could be separate or combined. Since we have both pay and benefits, we could have a "Compensation and Benefits" section. But instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have separate Pay and Benefits sections. However we might combine to avoid thin sections. But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Pay and Benefits into one section titled "Compensation and Benefits". But they gave examples of headings; not mandatory to use exactly those, but they said use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if appropriate. We have content for Responsibilities (Duties And Responsibilities). We have Requirements/Qualifications (Minimum Requirements And Qualifications). We have Preferred Qualifications (maybe under Qualifications). We have Physical Demands (maybe not a standard heading but could be under Requirements? But we could include a section "Physical Demands" if we want, but they didn't list that as example; but we can still use

  for any heading. However they said "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings where applicable, but we can also add others if needed? Probably better to stick to those headings where possible. Physical Demands could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. But we could include a separate section if we think it's substantive. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Physical Demands is a short list; maybe we can incorporate into Requirements. We also have "About The Young Center" which is about the organization, not about the role. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of the position. The posting includes a paragraph at start describing the role. That could be used as "About the role". Then we have "About The Young Center" which is about the organization; maybe we could incorporate that into "About the role" or drop? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It didn't forbid having an "About the organization" section. But they gave examples of headings; "About the role" is one. We could treat the initial description as About the role. Then we could have a separate "About the Young Center" maybe as "About the organization". But they didn't list that as example; but we could still use

  . However to keep few sections, we could merge the intro and About the Young Center into a single "About the role and organization" section. But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the description of the role and the description of the Young Center. We can put them in a

  under a heading like "About the role". That would satisfy. Now Duties And Responsibilities: we need to list as

  • . Many duties are sentences; we can make each bullet. Minimum Requirements And Qualifications: also list as
    • . We need to include all items. Preferred Qualifications: also list as
      • . Could be under Qualifications section? But we could have a separate "Preferred Qualifications" heading. Physical Demands: maybe incorporate into Requirements. Pay and Benefits: we have salary range and benefits description. We'll make a Pay section with salary range, and a Benefits section with benefits. Or combine. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. So we remove the "APPLICATION DETAILS" paragraph that includes instructions to apply, EEO statement, etc. Also remove the "Important Email Notice for Candidates" and "Powered by JazzHR". Also remove the "Physical demands include ..."? Actually we keep physical demands but maybe as part of Requirements. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights invites applications for the full-time position of Staff Attorney to be based in New York, New York. This position is a unique opportunity for an attorney to join a passionate team made up of social workers, attorneys, and administrative staff, to engage in interdisciplinary written and oral best interests advocacy on behalf of children in immigration removal proceedings. Young Center is appointed as independent Child Advocate for unaccompanied and separated immigrant children and advocates for their best interests with respect to their custody, placement, conditions of release, reunification with caregivers, repatriation, and their immigration proceedings. Young Center does not directly represent children in immigration matters but works closely with the legal service providers who may represent the children’s legal interests. The Staff Attorney will help recruit, train, and supervise bilingual and bicultural volunteer Child Advocates—teachers, law students, social workers, community members—who will work one-on-one with children. The Staff Attorney will apply their legal knowledge and skills to identify issues impacting children’s rights and best interests. Young Center team is a passionate and collegial group of professionals committed to ensuring that children receive the full protection of federal immigration law, domestic child welfare law and international human rights law. This position is funded primarily through a federal contract and is contingent on on-going renewals." Then "About The Young Center" paragraph: "The Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights is a national organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights and best interests, safety, and well-being of immigrant children in the United States. We center children's voices, celebrate their strengths, and recognize their fundamental need to be with family and in community, not detention. For more than 20 years, the Young Center has accompanied and advocated for over 10,000 children from more than 70 countries worldwide. We are the only organization that takes an integrated approach to protecting and advancing the rights of children, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and state and federal law, through direct services, stakeholder support across child welfare systems, systems and narrative change, and litigation. Further, we fight tirelessly to bring greater equity to the child welfare system, demanding accountability from systems and people in positions of power, so children in immigrant families who face court cases remain safe, free, and with families in communities where they are supported. The Young Center has offices in Houston, San Antonio, and Harlingen, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; New York, New York; Washington, D.C.; Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles, California; and Grand Rapids, Michigan. We also serve children through our programs in New Jersey. To learn more about the Young Center, visit www.theyoungcenter.org." We can combine these two paragraphs under "About the role". Or we could have two sections: "About the role" and "About the Young Center". But to keep few sections, we can have one "About the role" that includes both.
