Would you like me to also prepare a short, attractive recruitment notice (for WhatsApp/SMS or website) highlighting this role in simple, parent-friendly language—similar to what I suggested for the Co-Ordinator post? That way, you’ll have both the formal JD for staff circulation and a concise version for outreach.
