As an HR Officer, you will look after the welfare of the employees in a company and assist with any HR aspects. You will be able to do a variety of duties such as
hiring staff, recruiting, interviewing, keeping accurate employee records, documents etc.
If you are looking at how best to write a covering letter to support your CV in application to a role then it is important to have both your CV and the job description or job advert close by for you to refer to and ensure that you answer the requirements of the job in your covering letter to ensure that the employer knows you can do the aspects of the job they are looking for. For guidance on creating a strong application for management roles, check out our insights on Line Manager roles here.
If you are looking for an example, please see the below cover letter which you can use as a guide.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Application for the role of HR Officer
I would like to apply for the role of HR Officer which you have advertised in (which publication and when). I have updated and enclosed my CV for your consideration for this role.
I have been working in HR for over 4 years and feel that I have some transferable skills to the sector your business works in. I am currently seeking a new challenging role in HR and feel that I could perform well in the role that you are looking for.
I enjoy providing support to employees and Line Managers. I am very thorough in ensuring that my records are kept up to date at all times and that I update any procedures or documents as they need doing. I have enclosed my CV which details my skills and experiences and relevant qualifications. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have related to my experiences.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and CV and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
