YSTEP Teaching Assistant - YES Prep East End Secondary (Immediate Opening)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. So we need to parse the description. Given text: Description Job Description POSITION: Special Education Teaching Assistant REPORTS TO: Special Education Manager POSITION TYPE: 10-month START DATE: 26-27 School Year COMPENSATION: $15.63-$19.43 per hour At YES Prep, work for a mission ... Some Quick Stats About Us ... THE ROLE When you join the YES Prep team, some of the exciting work and responsibilities will include: [list of duties] THE PERSON We seek staff ... Certain traits ...

Health and Supplemental Insurance – ... Retirement Plans – ... Paid Time Off – ... Paid Leave Programming – ... Professional Development - ... Award Winning Culture – ... YES Prep is an equal opportunity employer ... (boilerplate to remove) We need sections: About the role (maybe from "THE ROLE" description?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe "MUST HAVES"?), Qualifications (maybe "THE PERSON"?), Skills (maybe traits?), Benefits (from THE PERKS), Pay (compensation), Schedule (position type 10-month, start date?). Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay section; but we have actual pay range $15.63-$19.43 per hour. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: Position type: 10-month, start date: 26-27 School Year (maybe meaning 2026-27 school year). That's schedule info. About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph before THE ROLE? The text: "At YES Prep, work for a mission that impacts the life trajectory of students and their families. YES Prep creates pathways to extraordinary opportunity through best-in-class development, competitive compensation and benefits, and recognition for your impact. Grow as an authentic leader and be part of a high-performing, team-oriented culture." plus some stats. That could be About the role or About the organization. But we need About the role heading only if there is real specific content for it. The "THE ROLE" section includes responsibilities list; maybe we treat that as Responsibilities. About the role could be a brief summary: "Assisting Special Education and General Education Teacher(s) ..."? Actually that's responsibilities. The "THE ROLE" heading is followed by list of duties. So we could treat that as Responsibilities. About the role could be the preceding paragraph about mission etc. That is somewhat generic but still substantive. We'll include About the role with that paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties from THE ROLE. Requirements: maybe "MUST HAVES" list. Qualifications: maybe "THE PERSON" traits? Or we could treat THE PERSON as Qualifications. But we also have Skills maybe from traits like passion for mission etc. However we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: - About the role: introductory paragraph about mission and stats. - Responsibilities: the bullet list under THE ROLE. - Requirements: the MUST HAVES list (High School Diploma or GED, 30 semester hours college, Educational Aide certification, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe the "THE PERSON" traits? But that overlaps with Skills. Could combine traits into Skills. But we need to follow headings list; we can include Skills for traits like passion for mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility, etc. And Qualifications for education/certification? However we already used Requirements for those. Could swap: Requirements = education/certification; Qualifications = personal traits; Skills = maybe specific abilities like ability to physically assist students, ability to maintain emotional control, etc. But we have many overlapping. Better to follow typical job posting: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (key competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Given the text, we have: - About the role: mission paragraph + stats. - Responsibilities: list under THE ROLE. - Requirements: MUST HAVES (education, certification, interest, ability to physically assist, belief in mission, openness to feedback, emotional control, fast-paced, multitask, teamwork, dedication to learn). - Qualifications: maybe THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS? That's more about beliefs. Could be Qualifications. - Skills: maybe the traits: passion for mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility, etc. Also ability to juggle multiple tasks, etc. But some already in Requirements. We need to avoid duplication and filler. Let's extract distinct items. From THE PERSON: "We seek staff with a multitude of backgrounds, talents, interests, and ideas. Certain traits consistently shine through for our most successful employees: passion for the mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, and humility. Other traits needed and desired for this role are:" Then list: MUST HAVES (list) THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS (list) So we have traits: passion for mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility (these are "certain traits"). Other traits needed and desired: the MUST HAVES list (which includes many items). Then THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS list. Thus we could treat: - Skills: the certain traits (passion for mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility). - Requirements: MUST HAVES (education, certification, interest, ability to physically assist, belief in mission, openness to feedback, emotional control, fast-paced, multitask, teamwork, dedication to learn). Note belief in mission appears also in Skills but okay. - Qualifications: THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS (belief in mission, desire to disrupt systemic status quos, willingness to go above and beyond, passion to develop resiliency, conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth). That's more beliefs. But there is overlap; but we can still include. Now Benefits: from THE PERKS: Health and Supplemental Insurance, Retirement Plans, Paid Time Off, Paid Leave Programming, Professional Development, Award Winning Culture. Also compensation line but we treat Pay separately. Pay: $15.63-$19.43 per hour. Schedule: POSITION TYPE: 10-month, START DATE: 26-27 School Year. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". In Benefits we should not include that phrase. The PERKS includes "Compensation – This position is a non-exempt, hourly position; offers commensurate with experience." We should omit that line as it's filler. Keep the rest. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and
