Staff Psychologist- Neuropsychology

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties. Requirements? Qualifications? Skills? Benefits? Pay? Schedule? We must include only sections with real content. We have content: Summary (EDRP eligibility). Qualifications (detailed). Duties (list). Work Schedule (Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:30PM). Pay: "Competitive salary and regular salary increases" plus details about step rate. Benefits: Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement. Also EDRP info. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have no such. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" could be summary? But summary is about EDRP eligibility. Could be "About the role" includes summary? Might be okay. However instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we can choose those headings if content exists. We have content for: Summary (maybe About the role). Qualifications (detailed). Responsibilities (Duties). Benefits (Paid Time Off, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement). Pay (Competitive salary...). Schedule (Work Schedule). Also EDRP info could be part of About the role or Benefits? It's a program eligibility. Could be part of About the role. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract details: Summary: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program. You must meet specific individual eligibility requirements in accordance with VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment. Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after complete review of the EDRP application." Note there is a weird spacing "$200 -000" likely means $200,000. We'll keep as written. Qualifications: huge block. Need to preserve all details. Could be long but we must include. Use

  for prose? But it's a list of requirements. Could use

  • for each bullet? The text is not bulletized but contains many clauses. We could keep as

    preserving the text. However instruction: "Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The qualifications are a list of requirements; we could break into items but risk altering meaning. Safer to keep as

      because it's not explicitly a list with bullet points. But it's a list of requirements; still we could keep as

      . The instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't use list, maybe not following instruction. However the text is not formatted as list; we could convert each distinct requirement into
      • . But that may be summarizing? Might be okay if we preserve all info. Let's attempt to break into logical items: Citizenship, English Language Proficiency, Education (multiple pathways), Internship Requirement, Licensure, Grade Determinations, Physical Requirements. That seems reasonable. We'll create
        • each containing the detailed text for that requirement. Duties: many sentences; we can make
          • each duty. Benefits: Paid Time Off details, Parental Leave, Child Care Subsidy, Retirement. Could be list. Pay: "Competitive salary and regular salary increases When setting pay - a higher step rate of the appropriate grade may be determined after consideration of higher or unique qualifications or special needs of the VA (Above Minimum Rate of the Grade)". We'll keep as

            . Schedule: "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday - 8:00AM-4:30PM". We'll put as

            . Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's craft. Section headings:

            About the role

            (summary).

            Qualifications

            .

            Pay

            .

            Schedule

            . Check that we don't repeat job title. Now write content. About the role: include EDRP eligibility summary. Qualifications: list items. We need to preserve all details; ensure not to lose any. Let's extract each qualification section text.
