We need to output only HTML fragment, using for section headings,
for section headings, - for lists,
for prose. No repeated job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EOE/AA etc. Also remove "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATE - EOE/AA M/F/D/V". Also remove any cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to parse the posting and produce sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Only include sections if there is real specific content.
The posting includes description of duties: "The Team Manager is the leader of the Patient Care Team...". That's responsibilities. Also includes sections like "Patient Care Services", "Staff Supervision and Management", "Quality Improvement/Regulatory Compliance", "Customer Service/Sales/Marketing", "Cost Containment", "Professional Development". Those are responsibilities categories.
We can group them under a "Responsibilities" section with list items for each duty.
Qualifications: list bullet points: Reliable transportation..., Private telephone..., Knowledge..., Basic understanding..., Working knowledge..., Two years successful supervisory experience..., Education: Bachelor's degree preferred..., Current and valid R.N. License...
We could have a "Qualifications" section with list.
Skills maybe not explicit separate; but we could embed in qualifications.
Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none given. So we should not include those sections.
Thus output:
About the role
maybe a short paragraph summarizing role? The posting starts with "The Team Manager is the leader of the Patient Care Team...". That could be about the role. We'll put that in .
Then
Responsibilities
with - items for each duty.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any detail.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points:
From text:

- Professional Development Attends inservices, educational seminars and workshops.

We need to ensure we don't duplicate. Also we need to keep the "Patient Care Services" line as part of responsibilities.
Now qualifications:
- Reliable transportation with appropriate license and insurance coverage for driver and passengers.
- Private telephone in home.

- Two years successful supervisory experience or equivalent in a health care organization.
- Education: Bachelor's degree preferred.
- Current and valid R.N. License to practice in the state where the VITAS program is located.
We could separate Education as sublist? But we can just list.
Now "About the role": maybe a short paragraph: "The Team Manager is the leader of the Patient Care Team and that member of the team whose function is to: supervise, evaluate and coordinate the various component members of the interdisciplinary team; assure continuity of care from admission to discharge or transfer to bereavement; serve as patient advocate and coordinator for other social service and health care providers in the community who are involved in the care of the team’s patients; assume responsibility for the maintenance of patient records from intake through discharge or transfer to bereavement." That's basically the first sentence plus the list. But we already used those bullet points in responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we could keep the introductory sentence as About the role, and then responsibilities list the detailed duties. However the instructions say preserve ALL substantive information; we can include the introductory sentence in About the role and then responsibilities list the rest (maybe not repeat the same bullet points). But the introductory sentence includes the same bullet points as responsibilities (supervise, evaluate...). If we separate, we might duplicate content. Better to keep About the role as a brief summary (maybe just the first sentence) and responsibilities list all duties (including those). But that would duplicate the supervisory etc. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is not prohibited but we should avoid unnecessary repetition? It didn't forbid duplication, but we should aim to not repeat same content unnecessarily. However we could keep About the role as a short paragraph: "The Team Manager is the leader of the Patient Care Team." Then responsibilities include all duties. That loses some detail from the introductory sentence (the list). But those details are covered in responsibilities list. So it's okay.
Thus About the role:
The Team Manager is the leader of the Patient Care Team.
Now responsibilities list all duties as above.
We need to format as - each duty.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "EOE/AA M/F/D/V". Remove.
Now output HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We'll have:
