Disability Support Nurse Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years supporting adults with disabilities to maintain dignity and independence in hospital and community settings. At my last role I helped coordinate care for a caseload of about 14 clients, using clear documentation and regular check-ins to catch changes early. A key thing I learned is to keep processes simple and consistent, so families feel informed and confident in the plan. I bring strong skills in patient assessment, care planning, and medication administration, with a steady approach to documenting outcomes and coordinating with the broader health team. I’m comfortable working with interdisciplinary teams, adapting plans to evolving needs, and explaining treatment options in plain language to clients and families. I’m also used to supervising junior staff and care workers to ensure consistent, respectful care. In a recent shift, I reviewed a complex wound care plan and adjusted it after a new clinician joined the team. The change reduced dressing-change times and improved patient comfort, with notes that clearly tracked progress. It reinforced the value of good handover, accurate progress notes, and close follow up with families to prevent confusion between shifts. I’m interested in the Disability Support Nurse role at [Company Name] and am happy to discuss how my experience at [Previous Company] translates to your team. I’m available for a conversation at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
