Diversional Therapist Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five years building leisure and activity programmes that people actually want to attend. In my last role, I helped design and run weekly activities for a diverse range of clients, with attendance improving by 20 percent across a six month period. My approach is practical and client centred, focusing on what will work in real life, not just on paper. I align my work with needs assessments, task analyses and client assessments to tailor programmes. I keep a current map of local resources and can organise events from small group outings to larger in-house sessions. I’ve supported volunteers and staff through hands-on training and supervision, and I’m comfortable adapting programmes to individual abilities and social interaction needs. A recent example sticks with me: after a client expressed frustration with programme options, I reworked a weekly activity set to pair social time with a structured task. The outcome was clearer participation and meaningful engagement for that client group, and the team reported better collaboration and confidence in delivering those activities. I used simple evaluation checklists to track what worked and what needed changing, and the changes significantly improved participation rates. I’m keen to bring my experience to [Company Name] and help expand the leisure programme in a practical, evidence-based way. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can discuss how my background fits the role at [Previous Company] and what we can achieve together. Kind regards, [Your Name]
