Meet The Manager
Sharon Oldfield is General Manager at Fairfax Manor Care Home.
With a background in both the NHS and Social Care sectors since 2009, I bring extensive experience in leading and developing high-quality care services.
Before joining Fairfax Manor, I managed a 100-bed care home in the local area, where I was proud to support the team in achieving a CQC Outstanding rating in the domains of well-led, caring, and responsive which was probably my proudest professional achievement so far.
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Social Care and have been honoured with both regional and national recognition, including awards for Front Line Leader and Regional Registered Manager.
