Prompt template

Rewrite this role description for {{association_name}} so it attracts the right person for meaningful, mission-aligned work.

Original: {{original_role_description}}

The role holder will work with: {{communities_served}}.
Our tone: {{communication_tone}}.

Rewrite it to:
1. Open with what the person will actually do on a Tuesday — not with the organisation's history
2. Be explicit about the hardest parts of the role, not just the rewards
3. Explicitly welcome applicants from the communities we serve
4. Avoid jargon and corporate cliché ("dynamic", "fast-paced", "self-starter")
5. Say what support and development is realistically on offer
6. State the salary or hourly rate up front

Replace bracketed placeholders with real context. Never paste identifying details about children, health or safeguarding cases.

Human review checklist

Tick each before you send or publish the output.
