Youth Counselor Technician (Juvenile Justice Officer I)- Edgecombe YDC

The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. I need to follow the rules: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use

• for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose 3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) 4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it 5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail 6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions 7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones 10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Let me analyze the job posting content: The posting has: - Agency/Department info (Agency Safety Division 70000075 Dept of Public Safety Job Classification Title Youth Counselor Technician (S) Position Number Grade NC04) - About Us section (mission, divisions, employee counts) - Description Of Work (passion for helping court-involved youth, division mission) - Knowledge Skills And Abilities/Management Preferences (merit-based recruitment, minimum E&E required, supplemental questions, salary based on qualifications, management preferences: communication skills, physical capability to restrain juveniles, shift work required, weekend/holiday shifts, shift premium 10%, sign-on bonus $3000, referral bonus program) - Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention hiring Juvenile Justice Officer TRAINEES (no college degree required, age 20+, HS diploma/GED) - Daily responsibilities (housekeeping, physical/mechanical restraint, medication administration, recreational activities, monitoring/supervising juveniles in YDCs and YDCs, safety/security duties, feedback to treatment team, daily records) - Not an office position, direct care position - NEW STEP PAY PLAN with steps 0-6 and salaries - Youth Counselor Technician Trainee info (work includes similar duties, trainee appointment 6-24 months training progression, step progression pay plan with timeline) - Work Schedule (full-time, day shifts 7AM-7PM rotating every other weekend off, night shifts 7PM-7AM rotating every other weekend off) - Benefits (full-time 40 hrs/week, state benefits: paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, retirement, health insurance) - Supplemental and Contact Information (EEO, ADA, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, transcripts, military experience, PREA, second-chance employment, certification requirements, fingerprinting) I need to organize this into appropriate sections. The rules say use

  for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let me map: - "About Us" could be "About the role" or "About the organization" but the rule says "About the role" as example. The posting has "About Us" describing the department mission. I'll use "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The rule says "e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". So I should use those headings when appropriate. - "Description Of Work" describes the role and mission. Could be "About the role". - "Knowledge Skills And Abilities/Management Preferences" includes requirements (minimum E&E), preferences (communication, physical capability), and conditions (shift work, shift premium, sign-on bonus). This could be split into "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Pay" (for shift premium, sign-on bonus), "Schedule" (for shift work). - "Daily responsibilities" and "Safety and security duties" and "Daily records" are responsibilities. Also the trainee responsibilities. So "Responsibilities" section. - "NEW STEP PAY PLAN" with step salaries is Pay. - "Work Schedule" is Schedule. - "Benefits" is Benefits. - "Supplemental and Contact Information" contains legal/EEO/ADA/loan forgiveness/transcripts/military/PREA/second-chance/certification/fingerprinting. Much of this is boilerplate (EEO, ADA, PREA, fingerprinting) but some is specific requirements (transcripts, military preference, certification). The rule says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. But transcripts, military experience, certification requirements are specific to this job. However, they are application instructions/requirements. The rule says remove application instructions. But these are requirements for application. The rule says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So I should remove application instructions. But the transcripts, military, certification are part of the qualifications/requirements. I'll include them in a "Requirements" or "Qualifications" section. - The posting also mentions "Youth Counselor Technician Trainee" as an alternative path. That's part of the role description. I need to avoid duplicating. The posting has two tracks: Youth Counselor Technician (requires Associate's degree or 24 months experience) and Youth Counselor Technician Trainee (HS diploma/GED, age 20). Both are in this posting. I'll structure: 1. About the role (combining About Us and Description Of Work) 2. Responsibilities (daily duties for both positions) 3. Requirements (minimum education/experience for both tracks, plus physical capability, shift work, etc.) 4. Qualifications (management preferences, transcripts, military preference, certification) 5. Skills (communication skills) 6. Pay (step pay plan for both, shift premium, sign-on bonus, referral bonus) 7. Schedule (shift details) 8. Benefits (state benefits) But the rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications? The example headings include both Requirements and Qualifications. I'll keep them separate if content is distinct. Let's extract content: **About the role**: The Department of Public Safety's mission...
