Meet The Manager
Dorte Chandler is Care Home Manager at Wellford Gardens.
Dorte Chandler is proud to be the General Manager at Wellford Gardens, following a successful career with the Trust. Prior to joining Wellford Gardens, Dorte was Home Manager at Spencer Court. She has worked in the care industry for many years and initially joined OSJCT as a carer at Mayott House (now an ECH scheme) when she was 20. Shortly after, Dorte was promoted to Assistant Manager at the age of 21, which made her the youngest in the county at that time. Dorte then moved to Head of Care, and became Home Manager with roles at various OSJCT care homes.
Dorte left to take up a position in the training department in Health and Social Care but, because she missed working in a care environment, she re-joined OSJCT in July 2018.
Dorte has a Registered Manager Award, Health and Social Care level 4 and a counselling certificate.
