Take the first step towards joining us by completing our short initial application."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. Also remove application instructions: "Take the first step towards joining us by completing our short initial application." That's application instruction; we should remove it. Also maybe "Learn About Us" is not a heading we need; but we can treat as "About the organization" maybe but not required headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections with real content.
Let's extract:
- Pay: "$35.46 - $41.11/hour, based on experience". That's specific. So we can have Pay section with that sentence.
- Benefits: list: Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance; 403(b) retirement plan; Short- and long-term disability; Scrubs allowance; PTO; Paid holidays; Loan repayment program; Commuter program spending account; Dependent care FSA; Employee wellness programs. That's specific. So Benefits section.
- Schedule: "This is a full-time, day-shift position with an on-call rotation." That's schedule info. So Schedule section.
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph before "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR: YOUR ROLE". That includes: "Join Bay Area Community Health as a full-time Substance Use Disorder Counselor to build a rewarding career supporting individuals along their recovery journeys! We're looking for a compassionate, motivated professional to join our Fremont, CA health center and empower clients to make positive, lasting changes. This is a full-time, day-shift position with an on-call rotation. Help us transform lives and create healthier futures!" However schedule already covered; but we can still have About the role summarizing role purpose. Could combine.
But we must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
- Responsibilities: The block after "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR: YOUR ROLE" includes many duties: provide counseling services, individual/family/group sessions, coordinate referrals, documentation, treatment planning, progress monitoring, utilization reviews, develop curriculum, conduct level-of-care assessments, support aftercare planning, collect data, crisis intervention, connect clients with community resources, collaborate with mental health professionals, learn about outside support programs. That's responsibilities.
- Qualifications: The block after "Substance Use Disorder Counselor Qualifications". Contains ideal qualifications: master's degree, licensure, bilingual, grant management desired. Then base requirements: Bachelor's degree with CADC I/II/III or pursuit with 1+ years experience; high school diploma with CAAC; experience with dual-diagnosis; ability to work independently; confidentiality/HIPAA; communication skills; leadership/interpersonal; customer service mindset; diverse population; time management; computer proficiency; analytical problem-solving; planning participation; driver's license and insurance; travel ability.
- Skills: Could be derived from qualifications but we might separate skills like communication, leadership, etc. However we already have qualifications covering many skill-like items. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, or have Qualifications and Skills separate if distinct. The qualifications list includes both education/licensure and skills. Might be better to have Qualifications (education/licensure) and Skills (abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see: The qualifications paragraph includes: "Our ideal Substance Use Disorder Counselor has a master's degree from an accredited college in a field such as psychology, social work, chemical dependency, or counseling and master's level licensure. Bilingual communication skills and grant management experience are also desired." Then "At a base, you'll need:" followed by a list of requirements (education, experience, abilities). Many of those are skills/abilities. Could treat all as Qualifications section.
Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
Now format: Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
- About the role: could be prose paragraph(s). We'll put in
.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
- each duty.
- Qualifications: could be a mix: we have ideal qualifications (master's degree etc.) and base requirements list. Could present as
- for each bullet. But we need to preserve all info. Let's extract bullet points.
From qualifications:
Ideal:
- Master's degree from an accredited college in psychology, social work, chemical dependency, or counseling
- Master's level licensure
- Bilingual communication skills (desired)
- Grant management experience (desired)
Base requirements (after "At a base, you'll need:"):
- Bachelor's degree with a CADC I/II/III or current pursuit of a CADC with 1+ years of qualifying clinical experience
- High school diploma (or equivalent) with a CAAC
- Experience or familiarity with treating dual-diagnosis clients
- Ability to independently complete quality work and make sound decisions with minimal supervision
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and HIPAA compliance
- Effective verbal and written communication skills
- Leadership skills and strong interpersonal skills for collaborating with teams, training members, and evaluating/improving performance
- Customer service-focused mindset and the ability to respectfully work with a diverse population, including active substance users, homeless individuals, members of the LGBT community, individuals with HIV+, law enforcement officials, and other entities
- Time management skills for coordinating multiple projects simultaneously
- Proficiency with computers, internet programs, and Microsoft 365 applications
- Analytical problem-solving skills for gathering data, researching information, and preparing accurate reports
- Ability to participate in short- and long-term planning, development, implementation, and maintenance initiatives
- Current, valid driver's license and personal vehicle insurance under your name
- Ability to travel locally and occasionally travel overnight for events
We could combine ideal and base into one list.
- Benefits: list as
- .
- Pay: prose
with the pay range.
- Schedule: prose
with full-time day-shift with on-call rotation.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Learn About Us" etc. We removed that.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We must not include or . Just the sections.
