Samantha Hansford
General Manager
A local resident of the Dorset area for over 20 years, I join this award-winning care home with a wealth of experience. Initially working within the hospitality sector, it was not until I entered the care industry as a Care Assistant in Weymouth in 1999 that I found my true passion for caring for others. On starting in social care, I immediately fell in love with the work and have not looked back since. Showing tremendous commitment and dedication, after just eight years I achieved the remarkable feat of being appointed to run my first care home.
I am eager that the team and I continue to deliver exceptional care to our residents. I always strive to make a difference in people’s lives and find it rewarding when I help somebody to live their best life. For me, this is what working in care has always been about, and I know that I can continue delivering this mission with the support of my wonderful new colleagues at Signature at Southbourne.
