Re: Application for Care Assistant rolear Sir/Madam or Specific Name,

I am writing to apply for the Care Assistant position I have seen advertised on carehome.co.uk.

This position is of interest to me as I am looking to begin my career in the care sector and your home looks like a great fit for me.

Whilst I have no formal experience in the care sector, I have assisted my grandparents with daily tasks such as shopping, cooking and companionship. I consider myself to be an empathetic and caring person who loves to look after people.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Your Name
