Substance Use Counselor
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Who is Alpharus Health?

Please view Equal Employment Opportunity Posters provided by OFCCP here." We need to remove EEO boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal etc. So we drop the EEO line. We need to keep substantive info: description of organization, why join us, location, work schedule, responsibilities, job requirements, physical requirements, compensation, benefits. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (or "About the organization"?), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills"? The posting includes "Job Requirements" and "Physical Requirements". Could combine into Requirements. Also "Compensation" and "Benefits" and "Work Schedule". Also "Location". Could include location in a short paragraph maybe under "About the role" or separate? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location could be a short
maybe not a heading. Work schedule could be a heading "Schedule" if present. Compensation heading "Pay". Benefits heading "Benefits". Responsibilities heading "Responsibilities". Requirements heading "Requirements". About the role heading "About the role". Possibly also "Qualifications" but we have requirements. We'll include sections: About the role (organization description + why join us), Responsibilities, Requirements (including job requirements and physical requirements), Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. We need to 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.
We need to format lists appropriately.
Let's extract content.

We could combine both under Requirements section, maybe separate subheadings? But we only allowed
for section headings; we could have subheadings using ? Not specified; only said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't forbid other headings, but to keep simple we could just list all requirements in a single with items covering both job and physical requirements. That is okay.
