We could combine into Requirements section with subheadings? But we only allowed

for prose. We could embed lists with headings inside
? Probably better to make separate sections: Education, Knowledge/Skills, Experience. But that may be many thin sections. However each has substantive content. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine into one Requirements section with multiple
- items, maybe grouping by type using
headings? But we cannot use headings inside. Could use
Education:
then list. That's allowed as prose with strong. That's okay.
Thus Requirements section: Requirements
then Education/Certification:
... etc. Then Special Knowledge/Skills:

Similarly Responsibilities could be one section with subheadings for each duty category using ...
then lists.
Schedule: we have Position Hours: Full-time; Monday Friday; 40 Hours per Week. That's schedule. So Schedule
Full-time; Monday–Friday; 40 hours per week.

Also we have Reports to: Campus Principal, Length of Term/Employment: 190 workdays / At-will. This is metadata; we could fold into a short under About the role or maybe a separate "Details" section but we prefer few sections. Could add a

Now About the role: mission plus maybe reports and term.
