Dear Sirs

I am a conscientious worker who thrives on learning new things, taking on new challenges and working from my own initiative. I have worked in various job positions, and as such have developed excellent communication skills.

From my previous roles I have experience in managing staff, medication handling, and many other care home related tasks. I work well as part of a team, yet am able to work on my own initiative.

I am a hard worker and a quick learner. I am willing to learn all that you can teach me, and I will put my all into the job at hand.

I enclose a copy of my CV for your perusal and take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to consider me for the job vacancy.

Yours faithfully

Miss V Nimmo
