I have worked at Nazareth House for just over 3 years, and I work as the Care Home Administrator. My role is to support General Manager with financial matters at the home and I am the primary contact for both residents and families for their accounts. I hold a Level 3 in business administration and in my spare time, I enjoy learning new skills and spending time with friends.

Born Michael Antony Baker in north London 22nd September 1932. Educated by the Salesian Fathers at Battersea; Hertford College, Oxford (MA in History); Rome for Biblical Studies. Army service in RAOC in the Canal Zone, Egypt, during the Farouk crisis 1951-53. Entered Prinknash Abbey in 1956. Professed as a Benedictine monk with the name Aelred.

Created a correspondence course on the Bible, known as ‘Focus’, with Sr Catherine, a Dominican nun of Stroud. It ran for over thirty years from 1970. Planted a lot of trees on the Prinknash estate.

My name is David Brazier, I am the Catering Manager at Nazareth House. Although I've only been in the role a short amount of time, within the first week I knew that Nazareth House was the place for me. I have been welcomed and supported by everyone and will strive to give the residents the best possible nutrition and service possible.

I have been in the catering industry for the past 17 years and have held many different positions. My first role was at a Local Private school as a Junior Chef since then I have amassed a great deal of experience and knowledge to enable me to become Senior Chef, Head Chef, and Chef Manager and to ultimately thrive in a place like Nazareth House.

I can't wait to get to know all the residents and to make the catering department a very successful part of the Nazareth Family.
