Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Recreation Specialist position. With 4 years of experience working with senior citizens, mental health patients, and correctional facility clients, I believe I possess the skills and qualifications necessary to excel in this role.

In my most recent role as a Recreation Specialist at Sunnybank Seniors Centre, I led a team of 3 support staff and developed and executed individual and group recreation programs for 70 members. My background in social work and creative arts therapy allowed me to create activities that engaged clients, stimulated cognitive and physical abilities, and fostered social interaction.

My approach to recreation programming is rooted in learner-centered pedagogy and evidence-based learning practices. I have a track record of building strong relationships with activity providers in the community to enhance the services offered at the center.

I hold a Graduate Diploma in Expressive Therapies (Major: Applied Counseling) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Additionally, I have certifications in social work and creative arts therapy, including IV Disability, IV Training and Assessing, and Colour and Design in Creative Arts Therapy.

I have attached my resume for your review. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your organization.

Yours sincerely,

Celeste Khosbin
