On-siteOTHR$23.15–$28.04/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. We need to extract content from posting. We have a lot of text: About YES Youth Eastside Services (YES) description, mission, vision, program summary, job summary, primary job functions, knowledge & skills, qualifications, physical/working requirements, benefits, how to apply (job type, salary). We need to remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove "How To Apply" section? It says remove application instructions. So we should not include "How To Apply". Also remove EEO statement. Also remove "Job Type: Full time (40 hours) Non-Exempt Starting Salary: $23.15 - $28.04 per hour DOE" maybe that's pay info, we can keep Pay section if present. The posting includes salary range, so we can include Pay section. Also schedule: "This position requires a flexible schedule with evening and weekend hours". Also "Must maintain a flexible schedule to work some evenings and weekends". So we can include Schedule section. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading for Youth Peer Counselor. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like mission, vision, program summary maybe under About the role? Actually "About the role" could be job summary. But we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could include job summary, program summary, mission/vision? Probably job summary and maybe brief about YES. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll include a concise paragraph about the role: Youth Peer Counselor in WISe program, working with multidisciplinary team, providing peer support, etc. Use prose

    . - Responsibilities: list of primary job functions. Use

    • each bullet. - Requirements: maybe qualifications (education, age, certifications, background check, vehicle, etc). Also physical/working requirements? Could be separate but we can combine under Requirements. However we have also Knowledge & Skills section. Could treat as Skills. Requirements could be qualifications (education, certifications, etc). Skills could be knowledge & skills list. - Qualifications: maybe education and experience? But we already have qualifications separate. Might be overlapping. The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both "Knowledge & Skills" and "Qualifications". Also "Physical / Working Requirements". We could map: - About the role: job summary + program summary + mission/vision? Might be too much but okay. - Responsibilities: primary job functions. - Requirements: maybe physical/working requirements? Or maybe "Requirements" could be the mandatory qualifications (education, age, certifications, background check, vehicle, etc). We'll treat that. - Skills: knowledge & skills. - Benefits: benefits list. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: flexible schedule with evening/weekend hours. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary range, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: we have specifics: flexible schedule with evening and weekend hours in office, client's home, community. Also must maintain flexible schedule to work some evenings and weekends. So we can put that. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract content. First, About YES description: "About YES Youth Eastside Services (YES) is a leading provider of behavioral health services for children, youth, young adults, and families across East King County. Through school-based, clinic-based, and community-based programs, we provide mental health counseling, substance use treatment, psychiatric services, prevention education, and family support.

Our mission is to help youth reach their full potential, strengthen families, and build a healthier, more equitable community through behavioral health services, intervention, outreach, education, and advocacy.

Through intervention, outreach, and prevention. YES builds confidence and personal responsibility, strengthens family relationships, and advocates for a safer community that cares for its youth. Our Vision The future is bright, and the potential of our youth lights it. We envision a community where our youth can feel safe, taken care of, respected, and loved. And where our young people make choices that enhance their well-being and lay the foundation for a solid future." Then "Program Summary Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) is a new approach to helping Medicaid-eligible children, youth, and their families with intensive behavioral and mental health care. The program's goal is to help youth thrive with their natural supports such as homes and communities and assist in helping them meet the goals they have identified. Services are available in home and community settings and offer a system of care based on the individualized need of the child or youth." Then "Job Summary Youth Eastside Services is currently looking for a Youth Peer Counselor to join the Children’s Wrap Around with Intensive Services (WISe) program. We are looking for someone who can work as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team to provide an individualized, creative, and strength-based approach within the wraparound model.

Then "Qualifications" list. Then "Physical / Working Requirements" list. Then "Benefits" list. Then "How To Apply" etc. We need to remove application instructions and EEO. Now we need to craft HTML. We'll have sections:
