Wellness 162021 - Group Exercise Instructor (Certified)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Position Summary" and then "Essential Functions", "Qualifications", "Technical Skills And Knowledge", "Physical Demands", "Work Environment", "About YMCA of Greater Cleveland". Also there is mention of benefits: "free membership... Additional employee discounts... Eligible employees receive comprehensive Benefits Plan including Health, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Plan, Retirement 9% paid by the YMCA of Greater Cleveland and paid vacation." That's benefits. Pay not mentioned. Schedule not mentioned. So we include sections: About the role? The posting has "Position Summary" which is a summary. Could treat as About the role. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content accordingly. We have: - Position Summary: could be About the role. - Essential Functions: Responsibilities. - Qualifications: Qualifications (education, certifications). Could also include Technical Skills And Knowledge as Skills. - Physical Demands and Work Environment maybe part of Requirements? But we can include as separate sections? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Physical Demands and Work Environment into Requirements or maybe into a "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings are limited to those list. We could put Physical Demands and Work Environment under Requirements (maybe as a subsection). But we must use only those headings. We can still include paragraphs under those headings. Thus sections: - About the role (Position Summary) - Responsibilities (Essential Functions) - Requirements (Qualifications + Physical Demands + Work Environment) maybe. - Skills (Technical Skills And Knowledge) - Benefits (benefits description) We should not include Pay or Schedule as they are not present. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all details from the posting. We need to format lists with

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (essential functions) we need to list each duty as
• . For Requirements (qualifications) we need list items for education, certifications, etc. For Skills list items. For Benefits list items. We need to preserve prose where appropriate: maybe some paragraphs not list. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes a disclaimer at end: "Disclamimer The above statements describe the general nature and level of work only..." That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the "About YMCA of Greater Cleveland:" paragraph includes benefits; we need to keep benefits but maybe not the vision statement? The vision statement is part of About YMCA; but we might keep as part of About the role? Actually the "About YMCA of Greater Cleveland:" includes vision and benefits. The vision statement is not required for the job but is substantive? It's about the organization; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? But we already have About the role from Position Summary. Could merge? However we must not invent headings. We could include a paragraph under About the role that includes the mission statement from beginning: "At the Y, our mission is to put Christian principles into practice..." That's at start. Then the Position Summary. Then maybe we could also include the vision statement as part of About the role? But we risk duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the mission statement and the vision statement. They are substantive. We can include them in About the role section as prose. Thus About the role will contain: - Mission statement: "At the Y, our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Join our Greater Cleveland YMCA team in living our cause and helping to provide quality, safe and healthy programs and services in our community." - Position Summary paragraph: "The Group Exercise Instructor is responsible for the design and instruction of safe, high-quality, effective, challenging, and fun group exercise classes as determined by the class format and description." We can combine into one or two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list all essential functions bullet points. We need to extract each duty from the "Essential Functions" paragraph which is a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We'll split into logical items. Let's list them: - Design and teach effective, safe and enjoyable exercise classes using proper exercise progressions and cueing techniques, according to guidelines. - Select appropriate music and tempo suitable for the class format and population served. - Oversees the proper use, maintenance, and cleaning of equipment and supplies. - Attends all mandatory staff meetings. - Design classes that adhere to the designated format and are appropriate for the participants’ abilities. - Teach classes with energy and enthusiasm. - Accurately demonstrate skills being taught in class, explain them clearly, and work at skill level and intensity level appropriate for the particular class. - Instructors must emphasize the members’ workouts, not their own. - Frequently and consistently demonstrate multiple movement modifications, and repeatedly encourage members to modify movements and work at their own pace. - Monitor participants’ intensity, technique, proper form, and hydration throughout the class. - Consistently utilize clear and easy-to-follow verbal and physical cues in advance of a movement change. - Plan in advance the specific composition/choreography of each class, consistently changing music and routines. - Ensure that the class attendance of each member is accurately recorded in the designated manner. - Begin and end class on time. - Be available in the classroom with proper music and all equipment set up and ready no fewer than 5 minutes before class is to begin. - Leave program area in a safe "closed-down” manner with all equipment and materials properly cleaned and neatly returned to their proper places. - Maintain positive rapport with participants (and parents of participants, if applicable). - Encourage member involvement in YMCA programs, events and Annual Campaign. - Reads announcements to class when requested. - Learn participants’ names, engage them in conversation, and conduct classes in such a way as to encourage members to interact with and get to know each other. - Find a certified and competent substitute instructor if unable to teach assigned class. Notify supervisor of substitute coverage. - May be required to travel to multiple branches and offsite locations to lead classes. - May be required to lead classes in a live or recorded virtual environment. - Responsible for following the child abuse and neglect reporting process including completion of Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect reporting form, calling children protective services (696-Kids) and notifying immediate Supervisor, Branch Executive, Risk Management and Human Resources Departments. - All employees of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland are mandated reporters for any signs or suspicion of child abuse and neglect. We need to keep all. Now Requirements: includes Qualifications (Education, Certification(s)& Requirements) plus maybe Physical Demands and Work Environment. Education: High school diploma or GED required; Associates degree preferred. Certification(s)& Requirements: - Certification in CPR at the level of Basic Life Support or Professional Rescuer, Basic First Aid, and Emergency Oxygen Administration and associated-determined safety training required within 30 days of hire. - Current national NCCA-accredited Group Exercise Instructor certification, or YMCA Group Exercise Instructor certification. - If not currently certified, must obtain within 90 days of hire. - If applicable, current certification/proof of training in the specialty class format to be taught (e.g., Zumba, yoga, Tai Chi, SilverSneakers, LiveSTRONG at the YMCA, Real You, aquatic, etc.) - If not currently certified or trained, must obtain certification or training within 90 days of hire. - Instructor must be actively supervised in class by wellness leadership or designee until requirement is fulfilled. - Must Maintain all required certifications. Technical Skills And Knowledge: - Demonstrate commitment to the mission, cause of the YMCA, and uphold its values and ethics. - Ability to work effectively work with people of different backgrounds, abilities, opinions and perceptions - Willingness and ability to be a mandated reporter for any signs or suspicion of child abuse and neglect. All employees are required to follow the child abuse and neglect reporting process: completion of Suspected Child Abuse/Neglect reporting form, calling children protective services (696-Kids) and notifying your immediate supervisor, branch executive, risk management and human resources department (s).

We also have the vision statement: "Our vision is to be the premier community-based, charitable organization that embraces collaborations to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities." That's part of About YMCA of Greater Cleveland. Should we include it? It's substantive. Could be placed in About the role as well. Thus About the role will contain mission statement, position summary, and vision statement maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Group Exercise Instructor; we won't add heading. Now produce HTML fragment:
