Cambridge, United Kingdom CATS Global Schools Full time

CATS Cambridge offers an outstanding international pre-university educational experience to students aged 14+ from all over the world. Students live and work at the custom-built campus, studying for GCSEs, A levels and University Foundation Programmes, and preparing for admission to universities across the country and elsewhere. We pride ourselves on our approach to teaching and learning, with small class sizes and an informal atmosphere ensuring that students are treated as individuals and build great relationships with staff.
Since its inception as Cambridge Arts and Sciences Sixth Form and Tutorial College in 1952, the company has grown significantly. In the wake of the 2019 purchase of Cambridge Educational Group (CEG) by Bright Scholar, CATS Cambridge is now part of the CATS Global Schools portfolio, a group of schools that includes campuses in the UK, China and the USA.
Our students are taught by outstanding teachers and supported by a talented welfare and support team who are experienced at nurturing and guiding international pupils so that every student has the best of opportunities to realise their potential in higher education and beyond.
OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
CATS Cambridge advocates the educational philosophy of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, all its students are encouraged to participate in the award scheme.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a UK charity that makes a difference to young people’s lives and prepares them for life and work. Over 450,000 young people per year from every possible background take part in the DofE programme to broaden their horizons, develop their leadership skills, learn to work with others, volunteer in their local communities, increase their employability, and prove to themselves they can succeed at a serious challenge. All qualifying expeditions must be assessed by a competent adult who is approved by the Licensed Organisation/Approved Activity Provider and accredited by The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Assessors are the guardians of the DofE’s high standards; they protect the interests of the DofE and ensure that the 20 conditions of the Expedition section are fulfilled.
The Assessor is a member of a partnership consisting of the participants, the Supervisor and the Assessor, formed to bring about a successful outcome to the team’s expedition. The role of the Assessor is to confirm that the 20 conditions of the Expedition section have been met. There is no testing, no marking, either the 20 conditions have been fulfilled or they have not.
At Bronze level, the Supervisor may also act as an Assessor and may have been involved in the training of the team. At Silver level, Assessors should not have been involved in any training or instruction of the team. At Gold level, the Assessor must be independent of your DofE group and not associated with the team in any way. RESPONSIBILITIES
