• . No CSS, no divs, no br. Must preserve all original content word-for-word. So we need to parse the raw text and produce HTML with appropriate tags. We have raw job description with some HTML tags already (like

  ... etc). We need to output only HTML, preserving content word-for-word, but we can reformat using tags. However we must preserve original content word-for-word: meaning we cannot change text, but we can wrap it in tags. The original includes some

  and tags; we need to output HTML, but we can keep those? The instruction: "Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble." It didn't say we must strip existing tags; we can keep them as part of content. However they said use

  for introductory paragraphs and general text,

  for section headers,

  • for list items. So we need to convert the content accordingly, but preserve text. Thus we need to identify sections: Intro paragraphs (the bold statements), then "ROLE SUMMARY", then paragraphs under it, then "KEY WORK OUTPUT AND ACCOUNTABILITIES" with subheadings like CONSISTENCY OF CARE, etc. Then sub-bullets with bullet points (starting with •). Then "Training and development", "Organisational effectiveness and continuous improvement", "Risk and compliance", "TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SOCIETY" with subheadings Build and maintain Stakeholder relationships, Personal and professional development. Then "SKILLS PROFILE" with subheadings EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, WORKING CONDITIONS. Then final paragraph "Join the team..." We need to wrap each paragraph in

    . For section headers use

    . For bullet lists use

    • . Need to preserve bullet symbols? The bullet points start with • and sometimes sub-bullets with - . We should keep the bullet characters as part of li text. We must not add or remove any text. So we need to keep the bullet characters and the text exactly. We need to decide where to place

      . Likely each major heading: ROLE SUMMARY, KEY WORK OUTPUT AND ACCOUNTABILITIES, then subheadings like CONSISTENCY OF CARE, Training and development, Organisational effectiveness and continuous improvement, Risk and compliance, TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SOCIETY, Build and maintain Stakeholder relationships, Personal and professional development, SKILLS PROFILE, EDUCATION, Preferred (under EDUCATION?), WORK EXPERIENCE, Essential, Preferred, KNOWLEDGE, Essential, Preferred, PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, WORKING CONDITIONS. But the instruction: Use

      for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So we should treat those as headers. The subheadings like CONSISTENCY OF CARE maybe also header. We need to preserve original content word-for-word, so we cannot change the heading text. We'll wrap them in

      . Paragraphs: any text not a heading or list item should be in

      . List items: lines that start with bullet symbols (• or -) should be

      • inside same
        maybe nested? But we cannot use nested
        because they didn't forbid nested lists? They said use
        • for list items. Could nest
          • inside
          • ? Not specified. Safer to keep flat list: each bullet line as

          • . We'll just output HTML with line breaks for readability but not required. We must not add any extra text. So we must ensure we don't lose any characters. Let's extract the raw text from the given job description (including the initial HTML tags). The raw string:

            We need to output HTML. We'll strip the existing tags? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". If we strip the existing

            and tags, we are removing them, which would be removing content. So we must keep them as part of the content. However they also said use

            • for list items. This seems contradictory if we keep existing tags. But we could keep them and also wrap with our tags? That would add extra tags, which is adding content (tags). But they said do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Adding tags is adding content. However they likely intend us to output HTML representation of the plain text, ignoring any existing markup. The given job description includes some HTML tags but they likely want us to treat them as plain text and output our own HTML. The instruction "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" refers to the textual content, not the markup. So we can ignore existing tags and treat them as text to be preserved? But if we ignore them, we are removing them (the tags). However they said "do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". Removing the tags would be removing content. But maybe they consider the tags as formatting not content. Usually in such tasks, they want you to output clean HTML from plain text, ignoring any existing markup. The given snippet includes
