$20.91–$24.11/hrTemporary
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We need to parse the posting. General purpose teacher description: leads and co-leads daily craft, gym, themed activity blocks during BPRW's Vacation Camp sessions and potential After School programming. Works under direction of Program Director and Recreation Specialist, cooperating with fellow Teachers, to deliver safe, fun, engaging programming. BPRW Vacation Camps run during Burlington School District's scheduled school breaks: February Break, April Break, November Break (Nov 23–25, 2026) and December Break (Dec 28-31, 2026). Additional sessions may be added; staff should be available for as many sessions as possible. This position would also be for the potential new After School program (beginning in January 2027) as well, which would serve students every weekday from 2:50-6:00 p.m. Each Vacation Camp session provides 9 hours of licensed child care per day (approximately 7:30 AM–5:30 PM; staff report earlier and stay later for setup/close). This role is a great fit for current or former classroom teachers, paraeducators, and youth-enrichment staff looking for meaningful, well-structured work during school breaks and after school — the daily schedule, activities, and themes are planned in advance by the Recreation Specialists, so Teachers can focus on delivering a great day rather than building the program from scratch. Union Affiliation: Non-Union Pay Grade: $20.91 - $24.11 Hourly Remote Tier 1: Zero (0) days remote/week Essential Job Functions (list). Then Qualifications/Basic Job Requirements (list). Additional Information (EEO etc) which we need to remove boilerplate. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential job functions), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe abilities?), Benefits (maybe none?), Pay (we have pay grade), Schedule (we have schedule details). We must not create sections with placeholder text. We have Pay Grade: $20.91 - $24.11 Hourly. That's specific, so include Pay section. Schedule: we have details: Vacation Camp sessions: 9 hours per day approx 7:30 AM–5:30 PM; staff report earlier and stay later for setup/close. After School program: weekdays 2:50-6:00 p.m. Also mention availability for sessions: November 2026, December 2026, February 2027 & April 2027, plus pre-session planning/training. Also mention potential new After School program beginning Jan 2027. So we have schedule specifics. Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section. Skills: maybe we can extract abilities like "Ability to supervise and organize groups of children", "Ability to deal effectively with discipline problems", "Knowledge of safety principles", "Knowledge of a variety of recreation/leisure activities and group games", "Cooperative attitude", "First Aid/CPR certification", "Enthusiasm, patience, desire to work with children, creativity", "Ability to pass background check", "Complete required trainings". Those could be skills. But we need to decide where to put them. Could be under Skills section. However we also have Qualifications/Basic Job Requirements list. That includes many items: ability to support DEI, demonstrated commitment, previous experience working with children, HS diploma, college coursework preferred, ability to supervise groups, ability to deal with discipline, knowledge of safety principles, knowledge of recreation activities, cooperative attitude, First Aid/CPR cert, enthusiasm etc, ability to pass background check, complete trainings, must be at least 18. Thus Qualifications section can contain those bullet points. Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list. About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the purpose. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So we start with

. Then

Responsibilities

  • ... each essential function. Then

    Qualifications

    • ... each qualification. Then

      Skills

      maybe list abilities like "Ability to supervise and organize groups of children", etc. But many of those already appear in qualifications. Might be redundant. Could combine qualifications and skills? But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes skills), Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. We need to include Pay and Schedule sections. Pay:

Thus we have all needed. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. The posting didn't have explicit application instructions besides maybe "Applications for our employment opportunities are only accepted online through our Government Jobs website." That's boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "Remote Tier 1: Zero (0) days remote/week" maybe not needed as it's not a section; but we could include in Pay or Schedule? It's about remote work; not requested. Could drop. We need to preserve all substantive information; remote info maybe not essential but it's about work arrangement. Could be included in About the role or Schedule? Not required. Might drop as it's not specifically asked for; but we should preserve all substantive information. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep remote info. Where to put? Could be in About the role or a separate section like "Work Arrangement". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add a short paragraph in About the role mentioning remote work: "This is an on‑site position with zero remote days per week." That preserves. Also Union Affiliation: Non-Union. Could be included in About the role or Pay? Might add a sentence. We need to avoid creating sections with filler text. So we will include About the role paragraph that includes union, remote, etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:
