Occupational Therapist cover letter example

Olympic Valley Rehabilitation Pavilion

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Occupational Therapist position at Olympic Valley Rehabilitation Pavilion. With extensive clinical practice across inpatient neurorehabilitation and outpatient physical dysfunction, I appreciate your center's dedication to patient-centered restorative pathways. My background in facilitating motor recovery, administering standardized assessments, and delivering customized functional retraining aligns directly with the restorative objectives outlined for this role.

During my time as Senior Occupational Therapist at Rainier Crest Neuro-Rehabilitation Center, I have directed comprehensive functional evaluations and individualized rehabilitation plans for adult patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and complex polytrauma. In this role, I have led the inpatient clinical pathway for upper-extremity neuromuscular re-education, pairing task-oriented motor retraining with functional electrical stimulation to rebuild autonomy in everyday activities. Furthermore, I work closely within multidisciplinary teams alongside physiatrists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists to prepare coordinated discharge transitions and promote long-term safety.

My outpatient experience at Soundview Integrated Health Network further strengthened my practical capabilities in orthotic fabrication, work-hardening protocols, and patient education. Whether administering assessments such as the Fugl-Meyer and Montreal Cognitive Assessment, fitting adaptive devices, or conducting caregiver education on transfer mechanics, my practice centers on measurable functional independence. I look forward to bringing this balanced clinical background in neurorehabilitation and physical recovery to your interdisciplinary therapy team.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my clinical experience and therapeutic skills can support the rehabilitation goals of your patients at Olympic Valley Rehabilitation Pavilion.

Sincerely,

Morgan Ellis
