Occupational Therapist Cover Letter Sample

Depending on where you find employment, your duties as an occupational therapist might involve working with children to help them strengthen muscles needed for writing or walking, or working with adults/senior citizens post-surgery, after strokes, or after car or work accidents for rehabilitation purposes.

In addition to developing a plan of how to help your clients achieve goals for motor activities, you need empathy and positivity to motivate children and/or adults to work together with you for their benefit.

Re: Occupational Therapist Position

Dear Mrs. White,
My neighbor, Donna Williams, informed me that your facility is in need of an occupational therapist to assist clients in reclaiming mobility lost through medical trauma.

As I’ve noted on my attached resume, I have 13 years of experience in the field. I’ve earned a Masters in Occupational Therapy and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology.

I love my work, my patients, and how I help them almost come back to life – to once again have independence and a positive attitude toward their future. My contributions in this area include:

• Evaluating patients – their history, current physical condition, and what condition they would like to be in upon discharge
• Planning and executing treatment in order to achieve goals
• Educating patients and family members how to maximize treatment and avoid setbacks
• Documenting each patient’s progress and producing reports when needed

It would be my pleasure to meet you personally to discuss my qualifications further and hear about your patients and rehabilitative center.

Please be in touch with me at the above contact information.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Joy Adler
