One extra sentence I’d add right under the heading on Seek or Facebook is:
Looking for a role where your teaching, counselling or social work skills can genuinely change lives? This may be the opportunity you’ve been searching for.

It’s a strong emotional hook and speaks directly to former teachers who miss the impact of helping people grow.
