Aged Care Support Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’m applying for [Company Name] because I’ve found that steady, person-centred care makes a real difference day to day. In my current role I’ve supported residents across a shift with up to 12 people, and I track who needs assistance first thing so no one waits for help. I’ve learned to be calm and clear in how I explain care plans, and I keep practice straightforward so families feel confident about the support their loved ones receive. I bring solid experience in daily living support, mobility assistance, and emotional care, along with a thorough understanding of medication administration and safety checks. I’ve worked closely with nursing teams to follow health plans and I always stay compliant with facility standards. I’m comfortable with basic procedures and I’ve helped residents manage grief and confusion with kindness and steady routines. One memory sticks with me from a busy shift last year. A resident with early dementia became anxious around new staff, but I stayed with her, clarified what was happening next, and engaged her in a simple activity tied to her past routines. We avoided a crisis, and the family noted a noticeable improvement in her mood over the following week. I believe small, consistent acts can significantly improve daily well‑being for residents. I’d be glad to discuss how my practical approach fits [Company Name] and how I can contribute to the team. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can provide references from [Previous Company] upon request. Kind regards, [Your Name]
