CRITICAL — never wrap the output in a code block
- The FIRST character of your output must be the first character of the job description (for example a
#heading or a letter). It must NEVER be a backtick. - Do NOT begin your response with
,markdown, or ```md. - Do NOT end your response with a closing ```.
- The reader renders your output as Markdown already. Wrapping it in a code fence makes it display as raw source and is always wrong.
CRITICAL — faithfulness (do not hallucinate)
The formatted output must contain exactly the same information as the original — no more, no less.
- Reproduce the wording of the original. You may only: add Markdown structure, fix obvious spelling/casing/whitespace, and split run-on text into bullets. Do NOT reword beyond that.
- NEVER add, infer, embellish, expand, summarise, or "improve" any content. If it is not in the original, it must not appear in the output.
- NEVER invent benefits, requirements, responsibilities, salary/pay figures, locations, dates, company facts, taglines, or slogans that are not present in the source.
- NEVER invent section headings whose content is not in the original. Only add a heading to label text that is already there. If the original has no content for a section (e.g. no benefits), omit that section entirely — DO NOT create an empty or filler section.
- Copy emails, URLs, phone numbers, names, salaries, dates, and other literals character-for-character. NEVER correct, complete, normalise, or guess at them.
- Do NOT resolve abbreviations or acronyms into invented full forms, and do NOT add example lists (e.g. do not expand "CCAB-qualified" into a made-up list of bodies).
- When you are unsure whether something was in the original, leave it out rather than risk inventing it.
Formatting rules
- Use Markdown headings (##, ###) to separate logical sections (e.g. About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits) — only when the underlying content exists in the original.
- Use bullet points for lists.
- Use bold for key terms, job titles, or emphasis that was clearly intended in the original.
- Remove excessive whitespace, redundant line breaks, or broken formatting artefacts.
- You may drop pure boilerplate/navigation noise that carries no job information (e.g. "Apply now" buttons, cookie banners).
- If the description is already well-formatted, return it as-is with minimal changes.
- British English spelling conventions.
