Disability Support Team Leader Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led a team of support workers in a role where we balanced person centred care with strong operational oversight, and we maintained rosters for 25 staff across three sites. In that context, I helped ensure a consistent standard of care while keeping to budget and funding timelines, which meant we could respond quickly to changes in client needs. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because of its focus on community engagement and workforce integration. My experience spans team management, training and development, and compliance with regulations. I’ve worked closely with government and non-for-profit partners to secure funding and coordinate services, while keeping a clear eye on client outcomes and staff wellbeing. One concrete example from my time at [Previous Company] stands out. We redesigned the intake process to prioritise person-centred planning, which reduced wait times for home-based supports by 20 percent and helped clients gain access to community activities more quickly. I led the training program to embed new safety and documentation standards, and we significantly improved attendance tracking accuracy across the team. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to your team and welcome the opportunity to chat about the role further. Kind regards, [Your Name]
