Youth Program Officer II- $5,000 Sign on Incentive (Incentive is for External Hires Only)
About the role
maybe not needed if we have Responsibilities etc. But we have a role description paragraph: "The classification, under general supervision of a Program Manager, provide direct supervision, care and treatment of residents..." That could be About the role. Alternatively, we could skip About the role and go straight to Responsibilities. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The role description paragraph is substantive; we need to include it somewhere. Could put it in aunder About the role. Thus:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exhaustive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we must fit all info into those headings. We can put working conditions and equipment under Qualifications or maybe under Responsibilities? But they are not responsibilities. Could add under Qualifications as additional bullets.
Thus Qualifications will include screening/compliance, working conditions, equipment.
Let's add bullets for working conditions and equipment.
Working conditions: "Duties are performed primarily indoors (90%) with some outdoor work (10%). Indoor duties are performed in a temperature-controlled environment. Outdoor duties typically involve transportation of residents and recreational activities with residents. Work hazards or potential work hazards include possibility of personal injury from violent residents or heavy exertion activities while restraining or pursuing residents. Employee may be required to do shift work. Work hazards or potential work hazards include working in assignments and areas possibly exposed to infectious disease which require the use of an OSHA approved respirator."
Equipment: "Utilizes computers and communication equipment daily. Utilizes recreational/sports equipment, facility keys, handcuffs and shackles on a frequent basis. Worker handles fire extinguishers and oxygen equipment on an occasional basis. Operates a County vehicle as necessary. Must be able to use when appropriate an OSHA approved respirator to include medical evaluation for respirator use and fit testing for proper sealing."
We'll add those as bullets under Qualifications.
Now Benefits:
Benefits
Benefits
Employees of Bernalillo County enjoy many thoughtful rewards such as, but not limited to generous leave accruals; career development opportunities; remote & flex-work options as appropriate; longevity pay; education assistance program; health benefits; lucrative retirement; and so much more.
We could also include the earlier sentence about team building etc. But that's more culture; could be part of Benefits or About the role. We'll keep Benefits as above. Pay:Pay
Union Rate $29.70 per hour, with a $5,000 sign‑on incentive for external hires.
Schedule: We have shift work mention. Could include:Schedule
Employee may be required to do shift work.
That's specific enough. Now we need to ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft final HTML. Check for duplicate lines: we have not included boilerplate. Check for any missing substantive info: The initial sentence about employees teaming up to build high quality of life etc. That's not captured. Could be part of About the role or Benefits. We could add to About the role: "Employees at Bernalillo County enjoy the ability to team up with each other to build a high quality of life for our county residents, communities, and businesses. In addition to being an organization with a strong focus on work-life balance, building a culture of flexibility, learning, and belonging the County offers many benefits." Thus About the role will have two paragraphs. Let's adjust About the role:About the role
Employees at Bernalillo County enjoy the ability to team up with each other to build a high quality of life for our county residents, communities, and businesses. In addition to being an organization with a strong focus on work-life balance, building a culture of flexibility, learning, and belonging the County offers many benefits.
