- About EQUA Mead Learning Trust: description.
- Important Application Information: references, etc. But we need to remove application instructions? The instruction says: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove application instructions like "When completing your application, please ensure that you add at least 2 references..." etc. Also "Early applications are encouraged..." etc. Also "To comply with safer recruitment regulations..." etc. Those are application instructions, should be removed.
- Attachments list: we should drop? Probably not needed as they are attachments; but they are not substantive content about the role. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Attachments list maybe not required but could be considered metadata; but we can keep if it's substantive? It's just list of files; not essential. Safer to drop.
- About Us section: description of trust, mission, etc. That is substantive about the organization; could be included maybe under "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is separate. The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content about the trust and school. Could be placed under a section like "About the Trust" but not in prescribed headings. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit content into those headings. "About Us" could go under "About the role" maybe? But "About the role" is for role description. The trust description is more about employer. Could be placed under "About the role" as part of role context? Might be okay. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include trust description in a
under About the role.
- Responsibilities: we have duties: support pupils' learning and development in classroom and lunchtime, work closely with teachers, deliver curriculum, tailored assistance, help children develop confidence, independence, resilience, supervise pupils in dining hall and playground, promote positive behaviour, wellbeing, enjoyment, build relationships with pupils, colleagues, families, support school values, contribute to safeguarding, health and safety, welfare of children, ensure nurturing secure environment. Also breakfast and after school club hours available and desirable. Also permanent/fixed-term options.
- Requirements: maybe qualifications? Not explicitly listed. The posting does not list specific qualifications or requirements like "must have experience", "must have Level 2 TA qualification". Not present. So we should not create a Requirements section if no specific content. Similarly Qualifications, Skills: not listed explicitly. However we could infer skills: organised, flexible, passionate, caring, enthusiastic, committed. Those are attributes/skills. Could be placed under Skills. The posting says: "This rewarding position is ideal for someone who is organised, flexible, and passionate about helping children thrive both academically and socially." Also earlier: "We are seeking a caring, enthusiastic, and committed individual". So we can list those as skills.
- Benefits: not explicitly listed. Could be things like permanent contract, pro rata salary, breakfast/after school club hours, etc. But those are more role details. Benefits maybe not explicit. We should not create Benefits unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits like pension, holiday, etc. So skip.
- Pay: we have salary ranges and pro rata, pay grade. So we can create Pay section.
- Schedule: we have hours per week (31.00), weeks per year (39.000), part-time, start date, breakfast/after school club hours available, permanent/fixed-term options. So we can create Schedule section.
- Also we have visa sponsorship: No. Could be placed under Schedule or maybe as a note. Could be included in Schedule as a
.
- Key stage: Key Stage 2. Could be under About the role or Responsibilities? Might be under About the role.
- Closing date: 30/09/2026 09:00. That's application deadline; maybe not needed as it's application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but it's metadata. Might be considered part of Schedule? Not really. Could be omitted as it's application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. Closing date is part of application process; could be considered application instruction. Safer to drop.
- Interview: To be confirmed. Also application instruction? Might be dropped.
- Pay grade: Grade D or E depending on experience. That's part of Pay.
- Job type: Part Time. Contract type: Permanent. Could be under Schedule.
- Hours per week: 31.00. Weeks per year: 39.000.
- Breakfast and After School Club hours are also available and desirable. Could be under Schedule.
- Permanent and Fixed-Term options available; these can be discussed at interview. Could be under Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings only for sections we have content.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes description of role, trust description, key stage, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Skills: list of desired attributes/skills.
- Pay: salary, pro rata, pay grade.
- Schedule: hours, weeks, start date, breakfast/after school club, permanent/fixed-term options, visa sponsorship.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Skills we can also use list.
We must use
