Occupational Therapy Cover Letter

Start by introducing yourself, stating the position you're applying for, and briefly highlighting your clinical experience and relevant skills. Tailor the content to match the job description and show how your background aligns with the facility’s needs and values.

If the hiring manager’s name is known, address the letter to them directly (e.g., “Dear Ms. Smith”). If not, use a professional greeting such as “Dear Hiring Manager.”

A strong short cover letter briefly states your interest in the position, highlights key qualifications, and ends with a confident call to action. Example: “I’m writing to express interest in the pediatric occupational therapist position at [Facility Name]. With a background in sensory integration and patient-centered care, I’d welcome the opportunity to contribute to your team.”
