We are looking for enthusiastic people aged 14-18 to work
as helpers on activity holidays for disabled children.
The children we work with are aged between 8 and 11, and
these holidays give them the chance for new experiences,
such as horse-riding, sailing and swimming. You need to
have lots of energy and enjoy working in a team.
Experience of working with children would be an advantage,
but is not essential.
We offer a weekly allowance, free accommodation and
the chance to do something really important.

The advice for writing
a letter of application
1. Read the advertisement. Think about exactly what kind
of person the organization wants.
2. Look at the personal qualities (e.g. hard-working,
enthusiastic) and the experience they ask for. Talk about
them in your letter.
3. Your letter should be polite and formal:
• say where you saw the advertisement
• say why you are applying
• give a short summary of your experience
• talk about personal qualities
• include a closing statement.

1. A letter of application could be sent to any
person in the company.
2. You should send your CV with an application
letter, it’ll help you to stand out from other
candidates.
3. The longer an application letter is the better.
4. A letter of application should be less formal
than your CV.
5. Employers want to hire real people, not robots,
that’s why friendly application letters are
usually appreciated.
