Having the opportunity to work as a cadet baker in the Stanthorpe, Queensland store bakery is an experience that’s better than sliced bread, just ask Ben Casey. Since joining the team in 2022, originally in the nightfill department, Ben has now traded boxes for biscuits and done well to impress his coworkers including store manager Charles. “[Ben] is really confident and passionate in sharing what he learns with the second cadet and the baker as well as strengthening the whole baking team in store,” says Charles. While the sweet smells of finger buns and delicious cakes keep Ben coming back each morning, it’s his passion for the local Stanthorpe community that motivates him most. “I think my favourite, most enjoyable career path has been the bakery and just interacting with customers and talking to them about their day and being able to help them,” he says. Despite being with Woolworths for just over two years, Ben’s bread is already award winning after he proudly entered the Toowoomba Royal Bread show earlier this year. “I placed top 3 in cake and scones and also placed top 3 in bread out of seven cadets,” he explains. If you're travelling through the area Ben urges you to visit for a taste of “the best bread in town!”. Rachael Adkins, Peta Hartley, Danny Baldwin
