There are jobs in Care at the moment so may be worthwhile looking in that area.
Bugger. Here in NZ I believe it’s illegal to ask for one’s age in an application.

I think to be successful in care work requires infinite patience and empathy, and high emotional stability.Yep, I work as a social care worker and I'm seeing lots of new starts across a number of our teams here in Glasgow. All the best Rob.
Gaps are questioned more thoroughly nowadays.
I'm on LinkedIn in and found it very useful over the last few years.
Undergrad and research masters both in English. Alas Relocating is not an option..
I’m in my mid fifties, a qualified teacher etc.

I’d already secured a teaching role but had a gap until it started. I was also referring to age and not being overqualified.Puzzled about the above, as I'd've thought that teachers at all echelons (except possibly tertiary) were still in short supply and therefore being recruited. O.p., you are certainly experienced, and that possibly counts for more than qualifications. You don't say which branch of English you 'mastered'; literature, language (grammar etc.) or other applications, but maybe there's a possibility of even now getting post-grad. training for entry to schools.
As a retired teacher at junior and secondary level plus specialist Eng. lang. teacher (E.F.L.), there are lots of advantages in joining at a mature age and with better disciplinary capability. However, I do admit to being out of touch with the current teaching situation. There are not many times I'm happy to be long retired, but this must be one, though I still miss teaching (E.F.L., that is; not kids !!!) and may well be past it anyway.
That varies hugely, we no longer use it as a direct recruitment tool. But we do look at the social media profiles of any shortlisted candidates.
I'd imagine no social media presence is a definite plus point. I switched mine off when I left my last job after a couple of decades.What if they don't have one, does that go against them or irrelevant?
