An education service that comprises of 3 separate schools, catering for children from Primary age up to Secondary; are seeking to appoint an experienced SEN LSA for their (C.A.T.E) KS3 site. This will be a long term role that will commence from November 2011.

The organisation has been established by Hounslow local authority as a cross-phase pupil referral service that has three centres run by the same senior management team and sharing the same management committee. The three centres are:

• A pupil referral unit catering for primary aged pupils.
• Key Stage 3 pupil referral unit for students aged 11 to 14.
• Key Stage 4 pupil referral unit for students aged 14 to 16,

About a quarter of the students are female and about three-quarters are White British. Most students have been permanently excluded from mainstream education and about a third were previously educated at a special school. Most have statements. All have specific behavioural and educational difficulties and the mobility factor is high, with students joining and leaving the service during the academic year.

The service works with a range of providers and is involved in a number of projects that are designed to help vulnerable students, such as the Continued Access to Education (CATE) program for students with special medical conditions. The service has shown rapid growth since September 2007. The aim of the service is to ensure that all students have access to the most suitable provision to meet their needs at an appropriate time. This includes preparation for a return to mainstream. The ethos is to encourage respect, resilience, support and confidence, thus building self-esteem.
