Sarah Worrall
Hospitality & Catering
2014
If you want the opportunity to use and develop practical skills, learn about an accessible vocational area, have fun, work hard and deal with the public then this is the course for you. LMC is a great community asset and I think the local district are lucky to have such a modern, flexible and engaging place of education.
Sarah came to Lancaster & Morecambe College to pursue her Certificate in Education in 2012, where she decided that this is where she wanted to work. She successfully secured a position here in 2014.
Prior to working at LMC, Sarah worked for many high street brands in the retail industry, developing her skills in customer service, which she is now able to transfer to her students.
I began my career in Retail, running the family business while at university studying business. I then went on to work for high street brands such as Topshop, Burtons, and Claire’s as a Store Manager, Training manager and Area Manger over 25 years.
Sarah works in the Hospitality & Catering Department at LMC, where she guides learners through the busy but rewarding world of Hospitality. When asked about her favorite part of her job, Sarah said:
I like the variation in the role;, every day is different and challenging. It allows me to use all my skills from my previous career as well as continuing to learn and develop new skills and knowledge. I love to learn, so this is an ideal environment as there are always new opportunities to acquire knowledge.
She adapts the course to fit each learner's individual needs and goals. Learners in the Hospitality course have the opportunity to work in our fully functional restaurant, The Bay Restaurant, where they can practice their skills in a working environment.
I love that my learners grow in confidence and build self-esteem by working in a real-life environment to gain practical skills for employment. I also like the flexibility that allows us to meet the needs of the learner to help them realise and achieve their goals.

I love working with such keen and dedicated staff and students. I also like how every day is different because we attract such a wide range of students including year 11 from local high schools aged 16-18 who apply to the full time courses, to adult students who attend the part time courses. It’s nice to work with so many people from all different backgrounds and cultures who share a passion for cooking.
I would say that Hospitality & Catering industry isn’t an easy option, but it can be really rewarding and enjoyable if you work hard at it. It also has excellent job prospects at the end of the course, as the majority of our completing students gain full time employment within high class establishments
