Domiciliary care worker cover letter example
A strong domiciliary care worker cover letter shows that you are reliable, can work alone and notice changes in a client's health. Say clearly that you drive, and give your availability for early, teatime and weekend calls.

Kingsley Home Care
Dear Mrs Pryce,
I am writing to apply for the Domiciliary Care Worker role at Kingsley Home Care. I currently visit seven to nine clients a day for a home care agency, giving personal care, meals and medication prompts, and I hold a full UK driving licence and have my own car.
Working in people's homes means noticing small things. One client I visit began leaving her breakfast uneaten and seemed less steady on her feet. I wrote it in the care app, rang the office and spoke to her daughter, and she was seen by her GP that week. I am careful with call times, I phone the office early if a call is going to run late, and I treat each home as the client's own space.
I am applying to Kingsley Home Care because you keep clients with the same small group of carers, which is something my clients tell me they value most. I have completed the Care Certificate and medication training, and I hold a current enhanced DBS check. I can work early mornings, teatime calls and alternate weekends.
Thank you for considering my application. I would be glad to come to an interview.
Yours sincerely,
Nadia Rahman
