Substance Use Disorder Counselor - CAADC, CADC
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to preserve substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro: "Join the VitalCore Team in Delaware! We’re people fueled by passion, not by profit! VitalCore Health Strategies (VCHS), an industry leader in Correctional Health Care, has an opening for a Substance Use Disorder Counselor at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington, DE for Full-Time! Pay is based on experience and having a CADC."
- Then description: "You will be given the opportunity to utilize your training, skills and experience in a face-to-face setting with people from a variety of socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. Being able to see the impact you are making with these individuals, when they are at their lowest, least hopeful points. You will be working as part of a Multi-Disciplinary Team comprised of Medical, Psychiatry, Ancillary, Security, Legal, community providers and psychiatric hospitals. The best part of this – It is done in real-time with real people!"
- Then "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR PACKAGE TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO:" list of benefits: Holiday Pay list, Medical Dental Vision Health Savings Account Life Insurance Short Term/Long Term Disability Identity Theft Protection Pet Insurance Employee Assistance Program and Discount Center 401K & Plan Matching PTO Annual Incentive Bonus Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
- Then "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR POSITION SUMMARY: The SUD Counselor will work as part of a multidisciplinary team with all other disciplines on the Behavioral Health Unit to provide a proactive and collaborative approach in serving the patient population. Flexibility of working days, evenings and weekends"
- Then "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Graduation from a Bachelor's level program or higher Employment in a clinician/counselor/social work capacity in a public or private agency or equivalent preferred. Must have a substance use certification (i.e., CADC, CAADC) or must be actively working towards attaining a substance use certification and must obtain the certification within two years of hire. Individuals who are not certified must be under the direct supervision of a certified clinical supervisor with written documentation of supervision. Flexibility of working days, evenings and weekends"
- Then "SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COUNSELOR ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: Professionals will provide crisis stabilization, complete intakes and on-going evaluations, and provide consultation to in-house and community services. Participate in monthly behavioral health calls, work collaborative with the medical team to best determine overall treatment for each individual. The SUD Counselor performs risk assessment of inmates; coordination of care with interdisciplinary team including medical staff, community providers, psychiatric hospitals and corrections; and discharge planning. The SUD Counselor assists in planning and implementing the goals and objectives of programs and projects. The SUD Counselor provides the necessary preparation of documentation, necessary records and reports. The SUD Counselor utilizes clinical skills such as prioritizing treatment needs; crisis management; brief clinical interventions including CBT and Motivational Interviewing. Excellent and timely documentation skills required. The ideal candidate is able to make independent clinical decisions, while utilizing assistance and supervisory intervention, as needed."
- Then EEO statement: "VitalCore Health Strategies is an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive workplace..." This is boilerplate, should be removed.
We need to create sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements?), Skills (maybe from essential functions?), Benefits (package), Pay (pay based on experience and having a CADC), Schedule (flexibility of working days, evenings and weekends). However we must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Pay: "Pay is based on experience and having a CADC." That's specific enough? It's not a numeric range but it's a statement. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "Pay is based on experience and having a CADC." That is not exactly "commensurate with experience" but similar. It's vague but still says based on experience and having a CADC. Might be considered filler? The instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is similar. Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to omit Pay section if it's just that statement. However we could include Pay with that statement? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". The phrase "based on experience and having a CADC" is not exactly those examples but still vague. Might be considered filler. I'd lean to omit Pay section.
Schedule: "Flexibility of working days, evenings and weekends" appears multiple times. That's specific enough? It's a statement about schedule flexibility. Not filler like "varies". Could include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have a detailed list. Include Benefits.
About the role: we have introductory paragraph describing role, team, impact. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: essential functions list.
Requirements: minimum requirements.
Qualifications: maybe we can combine with requirements? But we could have Qualifications separate if there is content like certification etc. The posting includes certification requirement in minimum requirements. Could treat that as Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we have Requirements (minimum requirements) and Qualifications (certification etc). However the posting only has one set of requirements. Could make Requirements section cover both. Qualifications could be omitted if no distinct content.
Skills: we could extract from essential functions: crisis stabilization, intakes, evaluations, consultation, risk assessment, coordination, discharge planning, program planning, documentation, clinical skills (prioritizing treatment needs, crisis management, brief interventions CBT, MI), independent clinical decisions. That's substantive.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's craft:

Schedule
Flexibility to work days, evenings, and weekends.
We need to ensure no duplicate content. The schedule appears also in requirements; but it's okay to repeat? Might be considered duplication but we can keep. However instruction: "Remove duplicated lines". The schedule line appears in both requirements and schedule; we could remove from requirements to avoid duplication. But the requirement about flexibility is part of minimum requirements; we could keep it there and not have separate schedule section? But schedule section is requested if posting has real specific content. The posting does mention flexibility. We could keep schedule section and maybe remove from requirements to avoid duplication. However the requirement about flexibility is part of minimum requirements; removing it might lose some info. But we could keep it in requirements and still have schedule section with same sentence; that's duplication. Better to keep schedule section and maybe adjust requirements to not include that line. Let's see if the requirement about flexibility is essential: It's listed under MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. If we remove it, we lose that requirement. Could we rephrase requirements to not include that line but still convey? The requirement about flexibility is indeed a requirement. We could keep it in requirements and not have schedule section, but schedule is asked for if posting has real specific content. The posting does have schedule info; we could include schedule section and keep the requirement line as is; duplication may be considered but maybe acceptable? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. To be safe, we could keep schedule section and
