Swim Instructor II
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about YMCA: could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of the job. The posting includes "Nature And Scope Reporting directly to the Aquatics Director, the Swim Instructor II teaches swim lessons to all age groups and skill levels and maintains a supportive, positive atmosphere that welcomes and respects all individuals and provides direct leadership, instruction, and motivation for students in both groups, private/semi-private or adaptive swim classes." That's about the role.
- Responsibilities: a list of duties.
- Requirements: list of required certifications, age, etc.
- Preferred Requirements: could be considered "Qualifications" or "Skills"? The spec says we can have sections like Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to include. The posting includes "Requirements" and "Preferred Requirements". Also "Work Environment & Physical Demands". Also "Employment and Benefits package". Also "Employment Requirement" about background check. Also "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities...". Also location.
We need to include sections only if there is real specific content. For Benefits, Pay, Schedule: we need to see if posting states them. It mentions "Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc." but does not detail benefits. It says "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities as part of our culture of excellence." No specifics. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Pay: not mentioned. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit those sections.
We need to include About the role (Nature and Scope). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list). Possibly Qualifications (maybe Preferred Requirements). Skills (maybe from requirements like communication, interpersonal, adapt teaching methods, behavior management). Could combine.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to include location maybe in About the role or a separate section? Could be part of About the role as a short paragraph.
We need to include "Employment Requirement Ability to pass a pre-employment background check..." That's a requirement; could be under Requirements.
We need to include "Work Environment & Physical Demands" maybe as a section? Not in allowed headings list but we could treat as "Requirements" or maybe "Qualifications"? The allowed headings are limited to those list; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit that content into existing allowed sections. Could put under Requirements or maybe a separate section not listed? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, but likely we should only use those headings. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can use those headings; we shouldn't create other headings like "Work Environment". So we need to incorporate that content into one of the allowed headings, perhaps Requirements or Qualifications.
Similarly "Employment and Benefits package" could be under Benefits but we don't have specifics, so maybe omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't drop the Work Environment & Physical Demands content. So we need to embed it somewhere, maybe under Requirements as a paragraph.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro paragraph about YMCA mission: "As a thought-leader and best-in-class provider in education, wellness, youth development, and community-building, The YMCA of Metro Atlanta is one of the oldest and most essential non-profits serving in Atlanta. Today, we’re looking for you to join us as we carry out our mission to positively impact lives and communities across the state. At the Y, we’re an association of like-minded people (staff, volunteers, and members), on the forefront of a movement to ensure that everyone -- especially children -- experience an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. In the course of a year, we provide more than 3,000 children, ages 6 weeks through Pre-K with high-quality literacy and STEAM-infused learning; give 58,000 youth and teens access to sports, aquatics, day and resident camps, teen leadership development programs, and employment opportunities; provide over 200,000 members with programs, services, and facilities to enjoy connection and maintain wellness regardless of age; and engage over 25,000 volunteers and donors from across Atlanta to share in the gift of supporting their communities."
That's about the organization, not the role. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered background. We'll keep it as a paragraph under About the role.
Nature And Scope: "Reporting directly to the Aquatics Director, the Swim Instructor II teaches swim lessons to all age groups and skill levels and maintains a supportive, positive atmosphere that welcomes and respects all individuals and provides direct leadership, instruction, and motivation for students in both groups, private/semi-private or adaptive swim classes."
That's role description.
Responsibilities list: bullet points after "RESPONSIBILITIES (including, But Not Limited To)". We'll extract each line.
Requirements list: after "Requirements". We'll extract each line.
Preferred Requirements: after "Preferred Requirements". We'll extract each line.
Work Environment & Physical Demands: paragraph.
Employment Requirement: background check etc.
Location: "Location: J.M. Tull Gwinnett Family YMCA"
We also have "Employment and Benefits package for this job posting is offered through the YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc." maybe not needed.
We also have "The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta offers excellent benefits and career opportunities as part of our culture of excellence. The opportunities to serve are vast, and we’re looking for like minded people, who share our values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY to join us and do their best work. The YMCA of Metropolitan Atlanta does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristics protected by law." This is EEO boilerplate; we should remove per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So drop that.
Also remove duplicated lines.
Now craft HTML.
We'll have:
About the role
... (intro + nature and scope + location maybe)
But location could be separate short paragraph.
Better: About the role includes nature and scope; location maybe separate but still under About the role? Could be its own
after.
We'll include location as a
under About the role.
Then Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- ... each
Then Requirements: Requirements
- ... each
Then Qualifications: maybe combine Preferred Requirements and Skills? The spec includes Qualifications and Skills sections. We could put Preferred Requirements under Qualifications, and skills like communication, interpersonal, adapt teaching methods, behavior management under Skills.
But we need to preserve all info; we can put Preferred Requirements under Qualifications, and the skill-based requirements under Skills.
Let's list Requirements (mandatory):
- YMCA Swim Instructor certification, or equivalent
- At least 17 years of age
- CPR for the Professional Rescuer, AED, Basic First Aid and Emergency Oxygen certifications required
- Must be able to demonstrate swim instructor skills in accordance with YMCA standards
- Principles of Youth Development E-Learning (within 30 days of hire)
- Y-USA Leader Certification (within 90 days of hire)
- At least 6 months experience
- Previous experience working with students
- Strong swimming skills and knowledge of various swimming techniques
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to adapt teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles, for cognitive and physical disabilities
- Knowledge of behavior management techniques for working with children
- CPR and First Aid certification (ability to obtain within 30 days of employment) (note this seems duplicate of earlier CPR etc; but we keep as stated)
- Ability to pass a pre-employment background check including Criminal Record check, Drug Screening, motor vehicle record (MVR) and reference check according to company policy.
- Must be legally eligible to work in the US without current or future sponsorship.
Also Work Environment & Physical Demands: we can include as a paragraph under Requirements or maybe as a separate under Requirements.
Preferred Requirements:
- Previous experience working with students, preferably in a swim instruction or coaching role
- current or former competitive swimming experience
- Adaptive swim certification or ability to obtain within 30 days of employment
We could put these under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can list communication, interpersonal, adapt teaching methods, behavior management, strong swimming skills, knowledge of various swimming techniques, ability to lift equipment, lift a small to average size child (mentioned earlier under Requirements? Actually that was in Requirements: "Ability to lift equipment, and to lift a small to average size child." Yes that was in Requirements after "Ability to adapt teaching methods...". So we have that.
We could put those under Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract all distinct items.
From Requirements section (the block after "Requirements"):
- YMCA Swim Instructor certification, or equivalent
- At least 17 years of age
- CPR for the Professional Rescuer, AED, Basic First Aid and Emergency Oxygen certifications required
- Must be able to demonstrate swim instructor skills in accordance with YMCA standards
- Principles of Youth Development E-Learning (within 30 days of hire)
- Y-USA Leader Certification (within 90 days of hire)
- At least 6 months experience
- Previous experience working with students
- Strong swimming skills and knowledge of various swimming techniques
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to adapt teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles, for cognitive and physical disabilities
- Knowledge of behavior management techniques for working with children
- CPR and First Aid certification (ability to obtain within 30 days of employment)
- Ability to lift equipment, and to lift a small to average size child.
Then after that there is "Preferred Requirements" block.
Then "Work Environment & Physical Demands" paragraph.
Then "Employment Requirement Ability to pass a pre-employment background check including Criminal Record check, Drug Screening, motor vehicle record (MVR) and reference check according to company policy.Must be legally eligible to work in the US without current or future sponsorship."
We should incorporate background check and eligibility into Requirements.
Now we need to avoid duplicate CPR lines: we have both "CPR for the Professional Rescuer, AED, Basic First Aid and Emergency Oxygen certifications required" and "CPR and First Aid certification (ability to obtain within 30 days of employment)". They are somewhat different; keep both.
Now we need to produce HTML.
We'll have:
