Victim Witness Program Specialist (Regional)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Help" tags etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- Summary (could be "About the role").
- Duties: there are two sets: major duties of GS-12 and GS-13. Also "Duties Help" etc. We need to capture duties. Could combine into "Responsibilities". Provide list items.
- Requirements: Conditions of employment list: Must be U.S. Citizen or National, Selective Service registration required for males born on or after Dec 31 1959, Pass drug screen and subject to random drug test, Suitable for Federal employment determined by background investigation, Must meet all applicable time-in-grade requirements, Financial Disclosure, MOBILITY PLAN (must sign mobility agreement), This is a non-bargaining unit position. Also maybe "Additional information" about CTAP/ICTAP etc. But those are more like additional info, not strictly requirements. However they contain substantive info about eligibility for displaced employees. Should we include? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could be under "Requirements" or "Additional Information". Since we have limited headings, we could put under "Requirements" or maybe "Qualifications". But "Qualifications" is separate.
- Qualifications: includes specialized experience requirements for GS-12 and GS-13, plus education note (no substitution). Also "Your resume must support..." etc. Also "After you submit this application, you will receive an e-mail informing you that a USA Hire assessment is required..." That's application instruction, should be removed per instruction: remove application instructions. So we should drop that.
- Additional information: includes statements about commitment to improving efficiency, etc. Also "EEO Statement/Policy", "Reasonable Accommodation", "Selective Service", "Additional information is found at: www.sss.gov." Also CTAP/ICTAP details. Also "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government..." repeated. Also "Notice to Prospective Employees of Ethical Obligations". Also "Career Transition Programs (CTAP or ICTAP): ..." plus details. Also "EEO Statement/Policy: ..." plus Reasonable Accommodation. Also "Selective Service: ..." plus link. Also "If you are a displaced Federal employee claiming eligibility under CTAP or ICTAP: ..." plus documentation requirements. Also "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government..." repeated again. Also "Help A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's benefits info. So we need a Benefits section.
Also there is mention of Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present.
Thus sections we can include:
- About the role (summary)
- Responsibilities (duties)
- Requirements (conditions of employment + maybe CTAP/ICTAP eligibility? but that's more additional info)
- Qualifications (specialized experience, education note)
- Benefits (benefits package description)
- Additional Information? Could include EEO, Reasonable Accommodation, Selective Service, CTAP/ICTAP details. But we have limited headings; maybe we can combine into "Additional Information". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Additional Information. That's six sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections must have real content.
We need to use
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include markdown code fences. Output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content precisely.

- 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 could combine overlapping items but keep both sets. Could list as separate bullet points for each grade? Might be redundant but preserve info. Could note "GS-12: ..." and "GS-13: ..." as bullet points.
We'll create - for each duty.
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.

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 there is CTAP/ICTAP eligibility details under Additional information; but we could include under Requirements? Might be better to put under Additional Information.
Qualifications:
- To qualify for GS-12: at least one year specialized experience at GS-11.
- To qualify for GS-13: at least one year specialized experience at GS-12.
- Specialized experience is demonstrated experience which has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills and abilities to perform successfully the duties of this position. Experience must be in the normal line of progression or must be related to the work of the position advertised and must be reflected in resume.
- Specialized Experience Must Include All Of GS-12: (list)

(This is kind of instruction but maybe keep as it's about qualification; but it's more about application. Might be considered application instruction; but it's about qualification verification. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about qualification verification; but it's still part of application. I'd lean to remove it as it's instruction. However it's substantive about qualification. I'd keep it as a note under Qualifications? Might be okay. But to be safe, maybe keep it as it's not about how to apply but about qualification rating. I'd keep.
- 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.
Benefits: From "Additional information" section: "Help 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 that. Remove "Help" and "Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits." That's like a link instruction; maybe we keep the sentence but drop the "Opens in a new windowLearn more about federal benefits." as it's navigation. We'll keep: "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. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent.

Also "If you are a displaced Federal employee claiming eligibility under CTAP or ICTAP: ..." plus documentation requirements. Also repeated commitment statements.
We need to avoid duplication. We'll consolidate.
Let's extract substantive pieces:
- "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." (appears twice; we keep once.)
