Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Youth Justice worker position at Cherry Creek. Although my professional background has been in managing a bakery and leading an online retail department, I bring with me a wealth of transferable skills that I believe would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your youth justice team.

Over the past 10, I have managed diverse teams in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. In both the bakery and online department settings, I was responsible for supervising staff, resolving conflicts, training new team members, and ensuring operational targets were met. These roles demanded a high level of empathy, patience, and clear communication—qualities that are directly applicable to working with young people in the justice system.

Working closely with individuals from varied cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, I developed strong interpersonal skills and an ability to build rapport quickly. I understand the importance of creating safe, supportive environments where people feel seen and heard—an approach I would carry into my work with at-risk youth.

What draws me to this role is a genuine desire to make a positive impact on young people’s lives. I am passionate about supporting youth to make better choices, find stability, and realize their potential. I am eager to transition into a role that allows me to combine my leadership experience with a strong sense of social responsibility.

I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and commitment align with the values and goals of this role. Thank you for considering my application—I look forward to the chance to contribute to your important work.

Kind regards,

Kimberly Hayter
