Victim Witness Program Specialist (Regional)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting:
Summary: location, role description.
Duties: major duties for GS-12 and GS-13.
Requirements: conditions of employment (citizenship, selective service, drug screen, background investigation, time-in-grade, financial disclosure, mobility plan, non-bargaining unit). Also mention "Additional information" about CTAP/ICTAP etc. But those are more like additional info; but we can include under Requirements or maybe separate "Additional information". However we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly.
"About the role": could be summary.
"Responsibilities": duties.
"Requirements": conditions of employment (citizenship, selective service, drug screen, background investigation, time-in-grade, financial disclosure, mobility plan, non-bargaining unit). Also maybe mention "Additional selections may be made" etc? That's more about selection criteria; could be part of Requirements.
"Qualifications": specialized experience requirements for GS-12 and GS-13, education note (no substitution). Also maybe mention "Your resume must support..." etc.
"Skills": maybe not present explicitly; we could omit if no specific skills list. The posting mentions skills like fundamental knowledge of DOJ guidelines, providing direct support, making oral presentations, working with Victim Notification System, crisis intervention, measuring program effectiveness, creating informational resources, interpreting laws, participating in community efforts. Those could be considered skills. But we have a Skills section allowed. However we need to decide if we should include Skills section with those items. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we have a specific heading for Skills; we could include if there is explicit list. The posting includes "Specialized Experience Must Include All Of" which lists knowledge, skills, abilities. That could be considered qualifications. Probably better to put under Qualifications.
Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package...". That's substantive. So we should include Benefits section.
Pay: not mentioned. So omit.
Schedule: not mentioned. Omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to include all details from summary, duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits.
Let's extract.
Summary text:
"This position is located in the Office of Field Operations, Special Operations Division (SOD), Enforcement Support Branch (ESB), Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP). The incumbent serves as a Regional Victim Witness Coordinator (RVWC) performing a variety of victim witness coordination duties in support of Field Operations and is assigned to provide training and technical assistance to the VWAP."
We'll put that in
under About the role.
Responsibilities: Duties for GS-12 and GS-13.
We need to list duties. The posting says:
"The major duties of the Victim Witness Program Specialist at the GS-12, include, but are not limited to, the following:
Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services.
Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates.
Work under the direction of the National Program Manager to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services."
GS-13 duties:
"The major duties of the Victim Witness Program Specialist at the GS-13, include, but are not limited to, the following:
Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services.
Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates.
Work independently to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services."
We can combine as list items, maybe differentiate? But we need to preserve all substantive info. Could list each duty with note of grade level. Could create two sublists? But we only have
- . Could include paragraphs describing each grade's duties. Simpler: create a
with items that include the duty statements, maybe prefix with (GS-12) etc. That preserves info.
Thus:
- Provide direct victim services to crime victims and training and support to field agents to ensure victims are being afforded their due rights and services. (GS-12 & GS-13)
- Monitor case management system and the Victim Notification System for updates. (GS-12 & GS-13)
- Work under the direction of the National Program Manager to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. (GS-12)
- Work independently to establish partnerships with federal, state and local partners to enhance victim services. (GS-13)
That preserves.
Requirements: Conditions of employment list:
- Must be U.S. Citizen or National
- Selective Service registration is required for males born on, or after, December 31st 1959. Those not registered should have an approved exemption on file.
- Pass drug screen and subject to a random drug test.
- Suitable for Federal employment determined by background investigation.
- Must meet all applicable time-in-grade requirements by the closing of this announcement.
- Financial Disclosure: If selected, you may be required to disclose financial information in accordance with DOJ and Federal ethics guidelines.
- MOBILITY PLAN: New employees hired pursuant to this vacancy announcement must sign a mobility agreement. The purpose of ATF's mobility policy is to enhance career development and progression, and achieve mission and business effectiveness. To accomplish these objectives, the mobility plan will facilitate the movement of employees through special short-term assignments or permanent reassignments throughout the Bureau. Applicants who decline to sign a mobility agreement, as required, will be removed from the hiring process.
- This is a non-bargaining unit position.
Also "Additional information" includes CTAP/ICTAP etc. That's more about selection priority; could be included under Requirements as well. Also "Additional Selections May Be Made From This Announcement. Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution." That's more like desirable traits; could be under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? But it's not a requirement; it's a statement about candidates. Might be considered part of "Additional information". Since we don't have a heading for Additional information, we could incorporate into Requirements as a note. But we must preserve all substantive info. Let's include as a under Requirements after the list.
Also "Notice to Prospective Employees of Ethical Obligations from ATF's Human Resources Operations Division." etc. That's boilerplate/legal; we should remove per instruction: remove EEO/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop the EEO statement, reasonable accommodation, selective service link, CTAP/ICTAP documentation requirements, etc. However the CTAP/ICTAP eligibility criteria might be considered substantive? It's about selection priority for displaced federal employees. The instruction says remove EEO/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. CTAP/ICTAP is not exactly EEO but it's a program. Might be considered additional info; but it's somewhat procedural. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, and application instructions. The CTAP/ICTAP docs are part of application instructions. So we should remove that.
Thus we keep only the core requirements: citizenship, selective service, drug screen, background investigation, time-in-grade, financial disclosure, mobility plan, non-bargaining unit. Also maybe the "Additional Selections May Be Made..." statement about commitment to improving efficiency etc. That's not a requirement but a desirable trait; could be considered part of "About the role" or "Qualifications"? It's more about candidate attributes. Might be okay to include under Requirements as a note. But it's not a condition of employment; it's a statement about candidates. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it. Where to place? Could be under Requirements as a paragraph.
Thus Requirements section will have a
for the list, and a for the additional statement.
Now Qualifications: specialized experience for GS-12 and GS-13, education note.
We need to list:
To qualify for GS-12: at least one year specialized experience at GS-11, with specific duties: Fundamental knowledge of DOJ Attorney General Guidelines, the Victims Rights and Restitution Act, and the Crime Victims Rights Act; AND Providing direct support and services to victims and witnesses of crimes; AND Making oral presentations to large groups; AND Working with DOJ's Victim Notification System, or developing and maintaining an equivalent system to track victims.
GS-13: at least one year specialized experience at GS-12, with duties: Extensive insight of crisis intervention techniques in order to implement a plan of action to address the needs of large numbers of victims/witnesses of mass casualty and catastrophic events; AND Measures program effectiveness and efficiency of procedures; AND Creates informational resources needed to advance the program's goals; AND Interpreting, explaining, and applying a body of laws, regulations, and procedures; AND Participation in community efforts to provide and promote victim assistance and awareness.
Also note: Education: Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone. No substitution of education for experience is permitted.
Also "Your resume must support your responses to the application questionnaire and the qualification requirements. Failure to do so may result in an ineligible rating." That's application instruction; we should remove per instruction: remove application instructions. So drop that.
Also "See the Required Documents section for important notes about what must be included in your resume." Remove.
Also "After you submit this application, you will receive an e-mail informing you that a USA Hire assessment is required of you. You will have 48 hours from the closing date of this announcement (10/01/2026) to complete the assessment as this assessment is part of your application." That's application instruction; remove.
Thus Qualifications section will have the experience requirements and education note.
We could format as
with items for each grade level.
Now Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits. Review our benefits Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered."
We need to preserve substantive info; remove "Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits." That's likely a link; we can drop that phrase. Keep the rest.
Thus Benefits section: with that text.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
