Aged Care Social Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years helping older people and their families navigate complex issues, and I’ve seen how small changes can make a big difference. In a recent project at [Previous Company], I helped coordinate a multi-disciplinary plan that reduced hospital readmissions by 15 percent over six months through concrete steps in home support, medications review and family coaching. My approach lines up with what [Company Name] needs in aged care social work. I work directly with clients on biopsychosocial assessments, develop individualised case plans, and pull in group supports when appropriate. I listen for rights and access barriers, and I’m comfortable with mediation and negotiations to unlock services, transport, and funding when families are overwhelmed. There was a case last year where an older client faced eviction while managing dementia and caregiver stress. I facilitated a legal and practical plan, connected the family to advocacy services, and coordinated with the GP and community nurse. We documented needs clearly and supported the client through two administrative processes, with the plan significantly easing daily pressure and improving safety at home. I’m open to a discussion about how I can contribute at [Company Name]. I can be available for a chat next week to explore how my experience aligns with your goals and the team’s needs. Kind regards, [Your Name]
