Genetic Counsellor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently supported families through complex genetic concerns at an Australian clinic, and the experience reinforced how important clear information and practical plans are for patients. In my last role I used a standardised intake framework and documented patient preferences across our electronic records, which helped tailor counselling sessions to about 6–8 families per week. I can bring that same approach to [Company Name], focusing on constructive conversations and reliable resource provision. My strengths align with genetic knowledge, counselling skills and patient communication. I work closely with patients and couples to assess needs, explain testing options, and arrange follow up with hospital services when admission is needed. I use straightforward language and check for understanding, adapting to literacy and cultural needs. I’m comfortable coordinating with nurses, social workers and clinicians to ensure information is accessible and decisions are well supported. One recent example stands out. I conducted a counselling interview with a family navigating a multi-gactor risk, documenting risk assessment and providing resources for support groups and specialist referrals. We scheduled a follow up within two weeks and linked them with a dedicated care coordinator. The process reduced anxiety and improved appointment attendance, and colleagues noted the documentation was consistently clear for non-specialist staff to review. I am available to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name] and to your team. If convenient, I’d welcome a chat to outline how my experience with information provision and admissions coordination could fit your needs. Kind regards, [Your Name]
