We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- Intro paragraph about PCG: description of company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content.
We have: "PCG is seeking highly motivated and dependable intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) needs assessor in Stafford, Virginia." That's role description.
Then description of duties: "Assessors will conduct Supports Intensity Scale – Adult Version™ (SIS-A) ™ 2nd edition assessments (and {state} Supplemental Questions) with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Assessors will also conduct Supports Intensity Scale- Children version (if applicable) with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities eligible to receive services."
Then a paragraph about IRQR training etc.
Then "This position will be hybrid." etc.
Then "This is a full-time role, including regular working hours as well as early mornings, evenings and weekends."
Then "Ideal candidates will have a human services background and experience working with intellectual and developmentally disabled populations."
Then "Specific Responsibilities" list bullet points (but not actual bullet list in text; they are sentences). We need to turn into

Then "Ideal candidates will have a human services background and experience working with intellectual and developmentally disabled populations."
Then "Specific Responsibilities" list bullet points (but not actual bullet list in text; they are sentences). We need to turn into - .
Then "Required Skills" list bullet points (many). Then "Required Experience" list bullet points. Then "Other Requirements". Then "Working Conditions remote/hybrid model. 100% In state travel". Then "Compensation" section with range $55,000- $65,000 and benefits mention. Then "PCG does not sponsor newly hired foreign national workers..." That's maybe not needed but could be part of Requirements? Probably not needed; it's a legal statement but not EEO? It's about sponsorship; maybe we can drop as boilerplate? It's not EEO but still maybe considered legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This sponsorship statement might be considered legal; better to drop.
Then EEO Statement: definitely drop.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: maybe include company overview and role location? Could be "About the role" containing description of PCG and the role location.
- Responsibilities: include duties: conducting SIS-A assessments, SIS-Children version, IRQR training, travel, hybrid, full-time hours, etc. Also the specific responsibilities list.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Experience, Other Requirements, Required Skills? But we have separate headings for Skills, Qualifications, Requirements. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which content goes where.
We have:
- Required Skills: list of skills.
- Required Experience: education, experience, etc.
- Other Requirements: broadband internet, travel, license, workspace, tech comfort.
- Qualifications: maybe combine education and experience? Could treat "Required Experience" as Qualifications. Or we could have Qualifications heading for education/experience, Skills heading for skills, Requirements heading for other requirements (like travel, internet). Benefits heading for benefits and compensation? Pay heading for salary range. Schedule heading for work hours (full-time, early mornings, evenings, weekends, hybrid). Also maybe "Working Conditions" could be part of Schedule or separate but we only have Schedule heading.
Thus:
- About the role: company description and role location (Stafford, Virginia) and that PCG seeks IDD needs assessor.
- Responsibilities: duties: conduct SIS-A assessments, SIS-Children version, IRQR training participation, travel (hybrid, occasional overnight), assessments at various locations, full-time role with early mornings/evenings/weekends, communicate purpose, foster relationships, conduct assessments timely, consistency, represent PCG, etc. Also the list of specific responsibilities.
- Qualifications: education (Bachelor's degree in human service-related field), at least one year experience working with IDD, experience conducting individual assessments with knowledge of behavior rating or psychological testing, knowledge/experience with person-centeredness, prior experience conducting SIS assessment preferred, experience with HCBS waivers preferred, knowledge of medical terminology, behavioral support, Virginia waiver programs strongly desired, strong clinical/social assessment and critical thinking skills required.
- Skills: list of skills from Required Skills.
- Requirements: other requirements: broadband internet, willingness to travel, active unrestricted license, reliable transportation, active auto insurance, dedicated home workspace for PHI confidentiality, comfortable with technology (Zoom, Teams). Also maybe "Must be willing to travel and have an active, unrestricted license, reliable transportation and active auto insurance." plus "Must have broadband internet connection at home (no dial-up)." plus "Must have dedicated home workspace committed to confidentiality of PHI." plus "Must be comfortable and familiar with technology including the use of virtual meeting technology (Zoom, Microsoft Teams)."
- Benefits: mention medical and dental care benefits, 401k, PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave. Also maybe "PCG provides a range of benefits for this role, including medical and dental care benefits, 401k, PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave."
- Pay: salary range $55,000- $65,000.
- Schedule: full-time role, regular working hours plus early mornings, evenings, weekends; hybrid; 100% in-state travel; occasional overnight stays based on assessment locations; travel varies.
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure each heading has substantive content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading "Intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) needs assessor". Good.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
