Apply: Cambridge Higher Aspirations Scheme
Deadline: monday 16 October 2023
Gonville and Caius College’s Admissions and Outreach team are excited to be launching their Cambridge Higher Aspirations Scheme for its fourth year, providing students in their link counties and boroughs a sustained scheme of support over the whole of their Sixth Form career.
For the Scheme, we are looking for supervisors across a range of 27 different subjects to design and deliver a series of six supervisions; lead two sessions on admissions assessment guidance (if your given subject requires a pre-registration admissions assessment); and attend a celebration event at the end of the scheme.
During the supervisions and guidance sessions, you will be working with a small group of students who are all on course to achieve 3 As or higher at A Level, and are interested in applying to top universities. The sessions intend to introduce them to what learning at Cambridge is like, expand their knowledge and academic skills, and prepare them to make a competitive application to Cambridge.
Full support for supervisors will be provided throughout the Scheme, including training, safeguarding support, advice on developing projects, administrative support, and the provision of a letter of recommendation for you once the programme has been completed. Supervisors will be paid £35 per supervision, with a flat preparation fee of £35, and an additional £10.90 for a training session.
Dates for the supervisions are currently scheduled for:
First supervision 20th January 2024: in-person at Cambridge
Second supervision 30th January 2024: online
Third supervision 6th February 2024: online
Fourth supervision 20th February 2024: online
Fifth supervision 5th March 2024: online
Sixth supervision 19th March 2024: online
To register your interest in supervising for this scheme, please fill in the following form by 08:00 on Monday 16th October. Attached at the beginning of the form is also our ‘CHAS Supervisor Code of Agreement’ which outlines the key responsibilities for supervisors and the Caius Outreach team.
