Job Seeker Profiles JOSHUA RAELENE AG BAKEHOUSE DANDENONG Joshua is a young man looking at creating something positive this early in his life. He was open to any type of work prior to commencing a job at AG Bakehouse as a Food Processing Assistant. He started work in August 2016. Part of his job is packing and labelling of bread, mixing flour and general cleaning. Someday, he wants to become a baker and he is preparing for that day to come. The owners of AG Bakehouse, Andreas and Gabriella Sitnikow, are very supportive of Joshua. They found out about his work ethic right away as he walks to work every time and arrives at the bakehouse 15 minutes prior to his shift. Joshua’s workmates also see in him a young lad quite focussed on the things he does and does them well! Even Joshua’s support person, Denise Taylor, was impressed on the day of the handover how punctual and courteous Joshua he is. Joshua comes from a very supportive family, and his mum, Simone, sometimes comes to our appointment. As a form of gratitude – and to our surprise – Simone sent a bouquet of flowers to the Dandenong Team for helping his son secure a job.
