We'll keep content about mission etc maybe as part of About the role? But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to map content.
About the role: Could be the Position Purpose description: "Are you an experienced Surgical Technologist looking for premium compensation and maximum flexibility? Explore FirstChoice – Trinity Health's mobile staffing solution! FirstChoice Surgical Technologists are utilized to fill short and long-term assignments throughout the health system, and we need you to be a part of this innovative program! Nationwide and Regional opportunities available!" Also maybe the Ministry Information about travel positions.
Responsibilities: The "What you will do:" bullet list: Qualified and willing to float throughout the hospital and/or throughout multiple hospital locations and/or regions; Knows, understands, incorporates & demonstrates standard elements of professional practice: Assess, Outcomes Identification / Solutions, Plan, Implement, Evaluate; Acts independently & appropriately within scope of knowledge & experience in practice area; Retains accountability for delegation, choices, decisions & outcomes; Collaborates with key stakeholders & contributes to quality & improvement practices & outcomes; Exhibits agility & willingness to take on new & additional responsibilities; Embraces new ideas & cultural differences while managing competing priorities.
Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications? Actually Minimum Qualifications includes Preferred Education, Preferred Certification, experience requirements, cannot hold concurrent position, ability to complete orientation/training, schedule options.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we need differentiate. Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. But we can combine or separate. The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for both Requirements and Qualifications. Let's extract.
Minimum Qualifications section: "Preferred Education: Graduate of an Associate or Bachelor’s degree program for Surgical Technologist. Preferred Certification: CST A minimum of 18 months experience is required for CST If a Surgical Technologist program has not been completed, due to training on the job or trained in the military – Five (5) years’ work experience is required . Cannot hold a concurrent position at a Trinity Health facility. Ability to complete the orientation and training. We have different options to choose from that will meet your schedule."
That seems like qualifications (preferred). Requirements maybe: "Must be Certified Surgical Technologist (CST)"? Actually they say Preferred Certification: CST, but also mention experience required for CST. Could treat as Requirements: Must have CST certification? But they say Preferred Certification: CST, not required. However they say "A minimum of 18 months experience is required for CST". So maybe requirement: CST certification and 18 months experience OR 5 years experience if no program. Let's treat as Requirements.
Skills: Could be the abilities like "Ability to complete orientation and training", "flexible schedule", "willing to float". Might be covered.
Benefits: Position Highlights and Benefits list: Premium Pay, Flexible Scheduling, Travel and Per Diem opportunities available, Variety of Practice Settings, Learning Opportunities, DailyPay available, Reimbursement of License and Certifications available per assignment, Opportunity to participate in 403B program.

We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only.

It's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered description; but we can keep if substantive. However "Ministry Information:" seems like a heading but we can treat as part of description.

We need to map content.
About the role: Could be the Position Purpose description: "Are you an experienced Surgical Technologist looking for premium compensation and maximum flexibility? Explore FirstChoice – Trinity Health's mobile staffing solution! FirstChoice Surgical Technologists are utilized to fill short and long-term assignments throughout the health system, and we need you to be a part of this innovative program! Nationwide and Regional opportunities available!" Also maybe the Ministry Information about travel positions.
Responsibilities: The "What you will do:" bullet list: Qualified and willing to float throughout the hospital and/or throughout multiple hospital locations and/or regions; Knows, understands, incorporates & demonstrates standard elements of professional practice: Assess, Outcomes Identification / Solutions, Plan, Implement, Evaluate; Acts independently & appropriately within scope of knowledge & experience in practice area; Retains accountability for delegation, choices, decisions & outcomes; Collaborates with key stakeholders & contributes to quality & improvement practices & outcomes; Exhibits agility & willingness to take on new & additional responsibilities; Embraces new ideas & cultural differences while managing competing priorities.
Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications? Actually Minimum Qualifications includes Preferred Education, Preferred Certification, experience requirements, cannot hold concurrent position, ability to complete orientation/training, schedule options.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we need differentiate. Usually Requirements are mandatory, Qualifications are preferred. But we can combine or separate. The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for both Requirements and Qualifications. Let's extract.
Minimum Qualifications section: "Preferred Education: Graduate of an Associate or Bachelor’s degree program for Surgical Technologist. Preferred Certification: CST A minimum of 18 months experience is required for CST If a Surgical Technologist program has not been completed, due to training on the job or trained in the military – Five (5) years’ work experience is required . Cannot hold a concurrent position at a Trinity Health facility. Ability to complete the orientation and training. We have different options to choose from that will meet your schedule."
That seems like qualifications (preferred). Requirements maybe: "Must be Certified Surgical Technologist (CST)"? Actually they say Preferred Certification: CST, but also mention experience required for CST. Could treat as Requirements: Must have CST certification? But they say Preferred Certification: CST, not required. However they say "A minimum of 18 months experience is required for CST". So maybe requirement: CST certification and 18 months experience OR 5 years experience if no program. Let's treat as Requirements.
Skills: Could be the abilities like "Ability to complete orientation and training", "flexible schedule", "willing to float". Might be covered.
Benefits: Position Highlights and Benefits list: Premium Pay, Flexible Scheduling, Travel and Per Diem opportunities available, Variety of Practice Settings, Learning Opportunities, DailyPay available, Reimbursement of License and Certifications available per assignment, Opportunity to participate in 403B program.
Pay: Pay Range: $29.00-31.50 per hour + Tax Free Allowance if Qualified. Also Gross Weekly Rate: $2160.00 (based on 5x8 shift). Also mention actual compensation varies.
Schedule: Shift: Day Shift, Hours: 5x8, Weeks: 13, Start Date: Flexible, Shift: Days.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only.
Structure: Use for each section heading, then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
Responsibilities: list of duties ->
- each bullet. Requirements: could be list of items: CST certification, 18 months experience (or 5 years if no program), cannot hold concurrent position at Trinity Health, ability to complete orientation/training, schedule options (flexible). Could be list. Qualifications: Preferred Education, Preferred Certification (CST) maybe list. Skills: maybe list of skills: ability to float, professional practice elements, independent action, accountability, collaboration, agility, embracing ideas, managing priorities. But many of those are already in responsibilities. Might be redundant. Could omit Skills if not distinct. Better to have sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications (list), Benefits (list), Pay (prose), Schedule (list or prose). Avoid Skills if not distinct. Let's extract About the role: combine Position Purpose and Ministry Information maybe. Position Purpose: "Are you an experienced Surgical Technologist looking for premium compensation and maximum flexibility? Explore FirstChoice – Trinity Health's mobile staffing solution! FirstChoice Surgical Technologists are utilized to fill short and long-term assignments throughout the health system, and we need you to be a part of this innovative program! Nationwide and Regional opportunities available!" Ministry Information: "FirstChoice offers rewarding Nursing, Respiratory Therapist, Surgical Technologist, and Health Care Professional travel positions with a flexible schedule to fit your life. FirstChoice travel Health Care Professionals fill critical positions when unforeseen or unplanned circumstances occur; or, when there is a position open due to an extended leave-of-absence. You’ll get to experience a variety of practice settings while traveling within your local region or traveling nationally – your choice!" We can combine into About the role paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs. Now Responsibilities list: items from "What you will do:" after colon. Let's list them: - Qualified and willing to float throughout the hospital and/or throughout multiple hospital locations and/or regions - Knows, understands, incorporates & demonstrates standard elements of professional practice: Assess, Outcomes Identification / Solutions, Plan, Implement, Evaluate - Acts independently & appropriately within scope of knowledge & experience in practice area - Retains accountability for delegation, choices, decisions & outcomes - Collaborates with key stakeholders & contributes to quality & improvement practices & outcomes - Exhibits agility & willingness to take on new & additional responsibilities - Embraces new ideas & cultural differences while managing competing priorities Now Requirements list: items from Minimum Qualifications that are mandatory? Let's interpret: - CST certification (preferred but maybe required) - we can include as requirement: CST certification - Minimum of 18 months experience as CST - If no Surgical Technologist program completed (on-the-job or military training): Five (5) years’ work experience required - Cannot hold a concurrent position at a Trinity Health facility - Ability to complete the orientation and training - Willingness to meet schedule options (flexible scheduling) - maybe not a requirement but we can include. We'll list as: - CST certification - Minimum 18 months experience as CST (or 5 years’ work experience if no formal program) - Cannot hold a concurrent position at a Trinity Health facility - Ability to complete orientation and training - Availability for flexible scheduling Now Qualifications list: Preferred Education, Preferred Certification (CST) maybe duplicate; but we can list: - Graduate of an Associate or Bachelor’s degree program for Surgical Technologist (preferred) - CST certification (preferred) - Experience beyond minimum (maybe not). We'll keep as above. But we might have duplication; maybe better to combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But instruction says use headings only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for both; we can keep both but ensure not repetitive. We could treat Requirements as mandatory (CST cert, experience, no concurrent position, orientation completion) and Qualifications as preferred (Associate/Bachelor degree, flexible schedule options). Let's do that. Now Benefits list: from Position Highlights and Benefits: - Premium Pay - Flexible Scheduling - Travel and Per Diem opportunities available - Variety of Practice Settings - Learning Opportunities - DailyPay available - Reimbursement of License and Certifications available per assignment - Opportunity to participate in 403B program Now Pay: we have Pay Range: $29.00-31.50 per hour + Tax Free Allowance if Qualified.
