 * Is there some code or a plugin that I can insert on to a specific page that can
   showcase the users current role they’re assigned?

 * Users can have ore than one role, this will output the first role listed.
    `<?
   php echo 'Your role: ', wp_get_current_user()->roles[0]; ?>`
 * This would be inserted on a template file, not within post content. If you want
   it within content it needs to be wrapped into a shortcode or custom block. If
   you want to alter template files, it’s recommended you create a child theme.
