Youth Services Worker
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
Intro: "Working with the Division of Youth Services is more than it seems. You will be working with staff to create a safe, therapeutic, and educational environment for youth in our day treatment and residential programs. To succeed in this position you will need to be empathetic, nonjudgmental, cooperative, encouraging, able-bodied, professional, and respectful; you must be able to communicate clearly, honestly and openly."
That's about role.
Then benefits: "We also offer a variety of great benefits including health, dental, vision, paid holidays, cafeteria plans, retirement, and more. Some positions working qualifying evening or night shifts in a residential facility setting receive a $2.00 per hour shift differential. If selected for interview, eligibility may be discussed with the hiring manager at that time."
Also later: "The State of Missouri offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck. To help demonstrate the value of working for the State of Missouri, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator."
So benefits details.
Pay: "The current rate for this position is $1,770.90 - $1,953.62 semi-monthly. Individual(s) selected for this position may receive a higher rate based on a pay differential (e.g. shift, or time-of-service pay)."
Schedule: Not explicitly given except mention of shifts: "Some positions working qualifying evening or night shifts in a residential facility setting receive a $2.00 per hour shift differential." Also "Work on shifts and attend mandatory meetings during the evening, overnight, or daytime hours as assigned by the supervisor and respond to facility emergencies." So schedule info: shifts (evening, overnight, daytime). Could include.
Responsibilities: The list of tasks after "This position is responsible for providing treatment services and ensuring safety and security to youth in the care and custody of the Missouri Division of Youth Services. Employees will facilitate treatment programming to youth (e.g., youth advocate, group facilitation, creation and delivery of treatment activities, etc.). The following tasks are the responsibility of the Youth Services Worker:" then bullet list.
We need to turn that list into - .
Responsibilities list items:
- Provide Awareness Supervision to youth, with responsibility for their personal conduct, care, and therapy.
- Monitor activity, behavior, and movement of youth both within a residential/day treatment setting or while escorting youth off grounds; performing physical counts as necessary.
- Maintain security, including intervention and/or participate fully in physical restraints of youth during emergencies or altercations to prevent escapes and gain physical control of youth.
- Supervise youth in residential/day treatment facilities in the performance of work activities and during recreational and religious activities; conducts inspections for health and safety hazards.
- Assist youth with their personal issues and refer issues to the group in accordance with the principles of the program.
- Observe and keep staff informed daily of significant behavioral conditions known about an individual and/or the group.

- Maintain professional boundaries, modeling a reasonable, respectful, and professional demeanor at all times.
- Interact positively with youth, families, co-workers, management, and the public.
- Prepare reports regarding each client's adjustment and progress; maintain youth records.

- Report all hours worked and absences accurately and in accordance with attendance policies and facility guidelines.
- Log work time daily in accordance with policy and submit timesheets to supervisor as directed.
- Employees may also assist in the educational program.
- Performs other tasks as assigned.
Also "Awareness Supervision is defined as the ability to see, be seen by, and to hear and be heard by youth at all times in order to be capable of swift, appropriate response." That's a definition; could be part of responsibilities or maybe separate but we can include as a note.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section: list of knowledge and abilities.
We need sections: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities could be under Requirements or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the list.
- Requirements: maybe the education/experience requirements: "Sixty or more earned credit hours from an accredited college or university with a minimum of six earned credit hours in one or a combination of the following: Counseling, Criminal Justice, Education, Psychology, Sociology, or Social Work. OR 2-4 years of relevant experience. (Earned credit hours from an accredited college or university may substitute on a year-for-year basis for a maximum of three years of the required experience at a rate of 30 earned credit hours for one year.) Lack of post‑secondary education will not be used as the sole basis denying consideration to any applicant. Special Requirement: Possession of a valid driver’s license."
- Qualifications: maybe the knowledge, skills & abilities? Or we could treat Knowledge, Skills & Abilities as Skills section. Qualifications could be the education/experience? But we already used Requirements for that. Could combine.
Better: Use Requirements for education/experience and driver's license. Use Skills for knowledge, skills & abilities list. Qualifications maybe not needed if overlapping. But we need to include sections only when there is real specific content. We have content for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, so we can put under Skills.
Qualifications could be left out.
Benefits: we have benefits details.
Pay: we have pay rate.
Schedule: we have shift info.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, contact info, accessibility, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to include the definition of Awareness Supervision maybe as part of responsibilities list or as a note. Could add as a
after responsibilities.
Also include the shift differential mention maybe under Pay or Benefits? It's a shift differential $2.00 per hour. Could be under Pay as additional detail.
Also mention "If selected for interview, eligibility may be discussed with the hiring manager at that time." That's about benefits? Actually about shift differential eligibility. Could be under Pay.
Now craft HTML.
We'll produce:
