Temporary Accountant

for intro paragraphs and general text. Use

for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use

• for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
  s, no
  tags. Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

  tags. Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. We need to parse the given job description text (which currently includes HTML tags like

  , ,
  , etc). We need to output cleaned HTML with proper tags per rules. Must preserve original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change wording, but we can change markup. Must not add or remove any text content. Must keep all text exactly as given, including spaces? Probably we need to keep the textual content, but we can reformat using allowed tags. We need to identify sections: Title, Country/Region, Location, Organization. Then intro paragraph with bullet points (these are strong bullet points). Then OVERVIEW paragraph. Then THE ROLE paragraph. Then a paragraph about supervision. Then "Sounds interesting? Read more below". Then KEY AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY header. Then subsections: Cashier management responsibilities, Financial reporting, Managing Filing system, Management Accounting Support. Each with bullet list items. Then QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE header, then a paragraph intro, then bullet list of qualifications. Then Application Information header, then paragraph(s) about apply, background checks, closing date, equal opportunity, disclaimer, OUR DIVERSITY BELIEF. We need to use

  for section headers. Which headers? Likely each major heading: "KEY AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY", "QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE", "Application Information", "OUR DIVERSITY BELIEF". Also maybe "OVERVIEW", "THE ROLE". But those are also headers. 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 any heading like OVERVIEW, THE ROLE, KEY AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY, QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE, Application Information, OUR DIVERSITY BELIEF as

  . Also maybe "Cashier management responsibilities:" etc are subheadings? They are bolded but not necessarily section headers; they could be treated as

  as well? The instruction says use

  for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using

  for other headings, but we should use

  for section headers. For subheadings like "Cashier management responsibilities:" maybe we could also use

  or treat as

  with . Since they are bolded, we could keep inside

  . The rule: preserve all original content word-for-word. So we must keep the exact text, including the bold markup? Actually we can change markup but must keep the text content. The original includes tags. We can replace them with appropriate semantic tags (

  ,

  ,

  • ) but must keep the text words same. So we can drop the tags and instead use

    for headings, and for bullet points we can use

    • . The bullet points originally have "•    " which is a bullet character and spaces. We need to preserve that text? The bullet character is part of content. If we convert to
      • , we would be adding
        • tags and removing the bullet character? That would change content (removing the bullet). The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we cannot remove the bullet characters. We must keep them as part of the text. However we also need to use
          • for list items. This is contradictory: if we wrap each list item in
          • , we would still keep the bullet character inside the
          • text. That's okay: we keep the bullet character as part of the content. So we will have
          • •    Manage the deposit...
          . That preserves the bullet character. Similarly for qualification bullets. Thus we need to parse the text and produce HTML with

          ,

          ,

          • . No
            , no
            , no classes. We must also preserve line breaks? Since we cannot use
            , we need to represent line breaks via block elements (

            separates paragraphs). So we need to split the original text into paragraphs based on double line breaks or

            tags. The original text includes

            tags and
            tags. We'll need to interpret them. Simplify: We'll take the raw text (the given job description) and produce HTML by replacing

            with

            etc, but we need to output only HTML. Let's manually construct. We need to ensure we don't lose any text. Let's extract the plain text content from the given HTML, preserving spaces and bullet characters. Then we will wrap appropriate sections. Better approach: Identify sections by looking at the original text (including the HTML tags). We'll produce new HTML. Let's copy the given job description text (as plain text) ignoring the original tags but keeping the content.

Now we need to output HTML. We need to use

            or

            with . The instruction says use

            for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Job title may not be considered a section header; but we could still use

            for it? Might be okay but not required. Safer to treat job title and the following lines (Country/Region, Location, Organization) as

            with maybe. However we cannot use because we need to preserve content but we can keep inside

            . The rule says use

            for introductory paragraphs and general text. So we can keep inside

            . That's allowed because we are not adding CSS classes etc. So we can keep original tags inside

            . However we must not use
            tags. The original has   spaces and line breaks via
            . We need to replace
            with appropriate block elements. Simplify: We'll produce HTML with

            for each paragraph, and for headings we will use

            . We'll keep inside where appropriate. We need to ensure we don't use
            . So we need to replace line breaks with

            where appropriate. Let's construct. First line: Temporary Accountant (with many   spaces before). We'll keep the spaces? The original had many   before the title. We'll keep them as part of the text inside

            Then Country/Region: Uganda etc. Each on separate line with
            . We'll make each a separate

            maybe. Or combine into one

            with line breaks? Since we cannot use
            , we need separate

            for each line. So:

            Country/Region: Uganda

            Location: Kyangwali

            Organization: Save the Children International

            Then the paragraph: "Join us to lead sustainable change for children:" followed by bullet points each on new line with

              KEY AREAS OF ACCOUNTABILITY:
