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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.

That's about the organization, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the job. But we have no explicit "About the role" heading; we can create a section with heading
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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info.

That's about the organization, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the job. But we have no explicit "About the role" heading; we can create a section with heading About the role
and include that descriptive paragraph? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include those headings if we have content. The posting includes description of organization and why join us; that could go under "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". But we must follow the given examples; we can use About the role to contain that descriptive text.
Next: Location: "Location: Alpharus Health Residential/Outpatient Drug Rehab Center 400 Mercy Ln, Aurora, IL 60506View the facility details here!" This is location info; could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not a required heading. We'll include it in About the role paragraph.
Then responsibilities list: "Residential Substance Use Counselors are responsible for: Preparing and facilitating group counseling sessions, educational programs, and lectures to assist clients in meeting therapeutic goals Conducting individual counseling to provide crises intervention, support & guidance, and address client behaviors and personal problems Documenting clients’ progress and responses to treatment Maintaining client records; ensuring records are complete, accurate, and up to date Monitoring clients in medication self-administration Ensuring client safety and well-being Monitoring client behavior during social, recreational, or daily activities Enforcing house rules Scheduling, coordinating and transporting clients to appointments and maintaining the vehicle Collecting urine samples and administering breathalyzer Other duties as assigned"
We need to put these in - under a Responsibilities section.
Then Job Requirements: "High school diploma or equivalency required Minimum 6 months of previous experience in substance abuse or mental health counseling required Related work experience with a program specific population (adolescent/adult) in a residential treatment setting required"
These are requirements; could be under Requirements heading.
Physical Requirements: list of abilities. Could be under Qualifications? Or maybe Skills? The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills sections. We need to decide where to put physical requirements. Could be under Qualifications (maybe includes physical ability). Or we could create a Skills section for abilities like walking, speaking, etc. But we should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we must follow headings list; we can include only those with content. We have Requirements (job requirements). We have Physical Requirements which could be under Qualifications (maybe). We could also have Skills (maybe the abilities). But we need to avoid filler. Let's think: The posting includes "Job Requirements:" and then "Physical Requirements:" separate. We could treat "Job Requirements" as Requirements section, and "Physical Requirements" as Qualifications section (since they are qualifications). Or we could treat Physical Requirements as Skills. But the instruction says we can use Qualifications and Skills sections; we need to decide based on content.
Physical Requirements list: ability to walk, speak, record, use keyboard, respond to telephones, drive automobile, etc. Those are more like skills/abilities. Could go under Skills.
Thus we have:
- About the role (organization description, location, why join)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (education/experience)
- Skills (physical requirements)
- Benefits (list)
- Pay (compensation range)
- Schedule (description)
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for each.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:

We must ensure we preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail.

We need to keep that exactly? We can preserve substance but maybe we can clean up minor formatting like removing duplicate spaces. The "View the facility details here!" is a link? We'll keep as text.
We'll put in maybe multiple paragraphs. Could combine into one
but that may be long; but okay.
We'll output:
