We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections that have content: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (principle duties), Requirements (qualifications/experience), maybe Skills (abilities, knowledge, and skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none present. So we should not include those sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's no explicit boilerplate besides maybe "Powered by JazzHR" at end - remove.
We need to format lists with

We need to format lists with - . Use
for prose.
We need headings:
About the role
for job summary. Responsibilities
for principle duties. Requirements
for qualifications/experience. Skills
for abilities, knowledge, and skills.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "GRADE: Unified R7 ($28.99 - $35.33)"? Actually that's grade and pay range. The posting includes pay range in grade line. According to rules: we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state pay range: "GRADE: Unified R7 ($28.99 - $35.33)". That's pay info. Should we include a Pay section? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them, so we should include a Pay section with that info. However also note we should not repeat the job title as a heading; the grade line is not the job title but includes pay. We can include a Pay
with that info.
But also note the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine pay into About the role? But they said include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Pay is specific content. Could we embed pay in About the role paragraph? Possibly but they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having a separate Pay section might be thin (just one line). Might be better to incorporate pay into About the role paragraph. However the rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It doesn't forbid embedding them elsewhere. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could avoid a separate Pay section and include pay info in About the role paragraph. That seems better.
Similarly, there is no explicit Benefits or Schedule. So we omit those.
Thus sections: About the role (job summary + pay), Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
Job Summary paragraph: "Provides comprehensive, trauma-informed advocacy and case support to crime victims in accordance with the Crime Victim Rights Act (CVRA), with primary responsibility for felony cases and juvenile criminal sexual conduct cases. Coordinates Victim Rights Unit grant reporting and program requirements, assists with unit coverage and operational changes, and serves as a resource to prosecutors, court staff, and community partners on victim rights matters."
Pay: "GRADE: Unified R7 ($28.99 - $35.33)". We'll embed after summary.
Responsibilities: list of duties under "Principle Duties And Responsibilities". We'll convert each sentence into list items.
We need to preserve all details. Let's list them:
- Manage assigned felony and juvenile criminal sexual conduct cases and provide coverage throughout the County as needed in coordination with the Victim Rights Advocate.
- Provide notices and information to crime victims as required by the CVRA, including initial victim rights information within applicable statutory timeframes and notifications regarding scheduled court proceedings, conviction, the right to make a statement, disease testing when applicable, final disposition, and available MDOC victim services.
- Collect and process Victim Impact Statements (VIS); assist victims with completing statements; and obtain victim input for sentencing, disposition, restitution, and other case-related matters.
- Provide trauma-informed, victim-centered education, referrals, crisis intervention, safety planning, bond-condition support, and other direct services to crime victims throughout the criminal and juvenile court process.
- Assist victims with restitution by gathering and calculating documented losses when appropriate, obtaining needed information, and communicating with probation or court staff on the victim’s behalf.
- Administer direct victim-needs assistance using available 5% funding in accordance with State guidelines and office policy.
- Provide courtroom accompaniment and advocacy for victims at hearings they choose to attend and provide advocacy during victim meetings with prosecutors.
- Assist victims with Crime Victim Compensation (CVC), including applications, State submissions and follow-up, filing applicable notices, and explaining the distinction between CVC and restitution to victims and justice-system partners.
- Assist victims with MI VINE, the Address Confidentiality Program, Michigan Department of Corrections victim services, jail information, and other appropriate victim-service resources.
- Assist victims in juvenile cases with post-disposition questions and concerns, including coordination with probation regarding restitution, apology letters, and other follow-up matters.
- Attend monthly Domestic Violence Task Force meetings and Child Advocacy Center case-review meetings; provide case or court updates as appropriate; and support County Victim Team topics, presentations, and agency communication.
- Manage Victim Rights grant requirements, including monthly Financial Status Reports, quarterly work plans, the annual application, annual end-of-year report, annual program narrative, and other required grant documentation and deadlines.
- Review and adjust PBK letters and codes to support accurate grant reporting and provide the Victim Rights Advocate with updated information regarding grant reporting and PBK changes.
- Serve as a resource for Victim Rights Unit changes, questions, and assistance for prosecutors and other court staff; coordinate with the Office Manager and Victim Rights Advocate to implement and communicate applicable program or office updates.
- Maintain accurate records of victim contacts, correspondence, notices, services, court activity, grant-related information, and other required program documentation.
- Complete a minimum of 16 hours of continuing education each year and attend applicable victim-rights training as required.
Now Qualifications / Experience: "Bachelor’s Degree in criminal justice, law enforcement, social behavior or related field. OR graduation from high school, two (2) years work in criminal justice, law enforcement, social sciences, or related field and two (2) years’ experience in the legal system or progressively responsible community service agency, and two (2) years as a Victim Advocate II, and one (1) year of supervisory experience with crime victim related agency. OR and satisfactory equivalent combination of experience or training"
We need to preserve that exactly. Might be a bit awkward but okay.
Other Requirements: "Employment is dependent on background check, criminal history, and drug screen. Applicant must complete County application form. Attend applicable PAAC/PAAM training’s and Michigan Victim Assistance Academy". This could be part of Requirements or maybe separate but we can include under Requirements as additional bullet.
Supervision Received: "Work is performed under the general direction of the Prosecutor." Could be part of Requirements or maybe not needed. But it's substantive. Could include under Requirements.
WORK LOCATION AND PHYSICAL DEMANDS: "Work is primarily conducted in an office setting. Courtroom appearances may be required. Some travel may be required to courts, trainings, and victim/witness forum meetings. Works under the direct supervision of the Prosecuting Attorney who outlines duties and reviews work for conformance with the Victim Rights Act and department standards. May be required to write grants." This is also substantive. Could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Work Environment". But we only have headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put location/physical demands under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably under Requirements as part of qualifications/experience? Might be better to include under Requirements as additional bullet.
We need to avoid creating thin sections. So we can combine all these into Requirements section.
Skills section: "Abilities, Knowledge, And Skills" bullet list. Let's extract each ability:
- Working knowledge of the Crime Victim Rights Act (CVRA), criminal justice system, court proceedings, legal terminology, and Prosecuting Attorney Office procedures.
- Ability to provide trauma-informed, victim-centered crisis intervention, safety planning, education, referrals, and courtroom support.
- Ability to manage complex victim cases, statutory notification requirements, grant deadlines, program reporting, and detailed case records with accuracy and confidentiality.
- Ability to prepare reports, grant materials, correspondence, presentations, and other program documentation.
- Ability to communicate effectively and professionally with victims, prosecutors, probation and court staff, law enforcement, service providers, and community partners.
- Familiarity with community resources and victim-service programs, including Crime Victim Compensation, MI VINE, the Address Confidentiality Program, and Michigan Department of Corrections victim services.
- Ability to independently solve problems, adapt to program and procedural changes, exercise sound judgment, and coordinate work and information across the Victim Rights Unit.
We'll put each as - .
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
