Mental Health Nurse Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent several years supporting people through acute and long-term mental health care, and I’ve learned how small changes can stabilise someone’s day. In my last role I helped to reduce crisis admissions by coordinating care plans for a steady caseload, using evidence-based therapies and clear communication with families. At [Company Name], I’d bring practical nursing skills and a calm, steady approach to daily care, with a focus on real outcomes rather than paperwork. I align well with the core duties of this role, including nursing assessments, plan development, and interprofessional collaboration. I’m comfortable with medication administration, monitoring treatment responses, and delivering treatments and therapies. I also prioritise health promotion and education, helping patients and families understand options and build capacity for ongoing self-care. A recent example from [Previous Company] illustrates how I work with teams and patients. I coordinated a complex care plan for a patient with dual diagnosis, updating the plan weekly and adjusting interventions as symptoms changed. Over six months, the patient’s level of functioning improved, with feedback from the care team noting clearer communication and better adherence to treatment. I’m available for discussion about how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m happy to provide further detail on my approach and fit for your team. Kind regards, [Your Name]
