Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Recreational Therapist position at your organization. With 2 years of experience working with correctional facility and mental health clients, I believe I am well-suited for this role.

In my most recent position at Sunnybank Correctional Facility, I led a program for 63 clients that included individual and group activities of a physical, social, and cultural nature. I collaborated with the therapeutic team to establish treatment goals, monitor client progress, and document clinical notes.

My client-centred approach is rooted in educational research and evidence-based practices, with a focus on engaging clients, enhancing physical and cognitive abilities, and promoting social interaction. I have successfully built relationships with external stakeholders to enhance our program offerings.

I hold a Graduate Diploma in Physical Therapy, a Bachelor of Recreational Therapy, and relevant certifications in social work and creative arts therapy. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to discussing my qualifications further.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I am eager to learn more about this opportunity.

Sincerely,
Melanie Smith
