Dear Mr Brown,
I am very interested in the position of Teaching Assistant for Oatlands School, as advertised in the local newspaper.
I have a range of skills and experience to match the position you describe, most of which involve working with children in some capacity.
During my education, I observed teaching assistants carrying out their job duties and learned a lot from them. I understand what it means to work with young children and appreciate classroom culture and effective teaching in school.
I have assisted the local Brownies in a number of activities, many of which are focused on learning new skills. I am also approachable and compassionate, which I believe are traits necessary when working with young people.
I possess strong verbal communication skills and the confidence to talk officially with a group of children and I am confident in my ability to become a key member of your staff.
I am computer literate, organised and quick-thinking and believe I can handle any situation that might arise in a classroom environment.
Please find enclosed is my CV for your consideration. I consider that I am an excellent candidate for this role and look forward to an interview to discuss this position further.
Yours sincerely
