Dear Sir/ Madam

RE: Application for the position of Health Care Assistant (HCA)

As I sat with my grandfather during the final years of his life I experienced firsthand the importance of compassionate and attentive care. It was during those long days that I discovered my sincere passion for helping others, particularly the elderly and those in need. I realized that my innate ability to empathize and connect with individuals in vulnerable situations could be a valuable asset in the healthcare field, and its that time I made a conscious decision to pursue this career in which I could make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

Now, with seven years of cumulative experience as a Health Care Assistant, Ive developed a strong foundation in providing quality patient care. I have worked with diverse patient populations, including the elderly, disabled, the hospitalized, accidents patients, spinal cord injuries and those suffering from chronic illnesses from family set up, private residential homes and in hospital. My experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist patients with daily living activities, monitor vital signs, sanitize the environment, do basic physio, moving, turning and position to avoid bedsores, catheter and stoma care, recording vital information and provide emotional support during difficult times among other responsibilities.

In my current role at Nairobi West Hospital, Ive been recognized for my dedication to patient care and my ability to form strong connections with patients and their families. Im often entrusted with the responsibility of training new incoming health care assistants, which allow me to develop my leadership and communication skills.

I am confident that my experience, skills and knowledge combined with my passion for helping others, makes me an ideal candidate for the Health Care Assistant position at your organization. Additionally, I have professionally acquired certifications in health care assistant. I also possess training in basic life support, AED and CPR and also a certificate in first aid. I would be honored to contribute to your team and continue to make a positive difference in the lives of your patients. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely

Vinstone Ochieng Silas
