This includes access to tailored Welsh language training plans as well as incentive payments for bilingual delivery and services.

Hanfodol ysgiliau'r Gymraeg ar gyfer y swydd hon. Rydym yn chwilio am ymgeiswyr sy'n gallu ein helpu ni i ehangu ein darpariaeth a'n gwasanaethau dwyieithog.

Nod Coleg Cambria ydy hyrwyddo ac ymgorffori'r Gymraeg a diwylliant Cymru yn rhagweithiol. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu cyfleoedd a chefnogi ein cydweithwyr i ddatblygu eu sgiliau Cymraeg mewn lleoliadau ffurfiol ac anffurfiol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys gallu dilyn cynlluniau hyfforddiant Cymraeg yn ogystal â thaliadau anogaeth ar gyfer darpariaeth a gwasanaethau dwyieithog.

Rydym yn annog ceisiadau yn y Gymraeg yn fawr. Ni fydd ceisiadau a gyflwynwyd yn y Gymraeg yn cael eu trin yn llai ffafriol na ceisiadau a gyflwynwyd yn Saesneg.

Bydd ffurflenni cais, deunydd esboniadol, gwybodaeth am y broses gyfweld a dulliau asesu a disgrifiadau swydd i gyd ar gael yn Gymraeg.

Mae Coleg Cambria yn gyflogwr 'Hyderus o ran Anableddau'.

Rydym ni'n adeiladu coleg sy'n adlewyrchu'r gymuned fywiog ac amrywiol rydyn ni'n ei gwasanaethu. Rydym ni'n croesawu ac yn annog ceisiadau gan unigolion o bob cefndir, yn enwedig y rhai o grwpiau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol.

Mae Coleg Cambria wedi ymrwymo i ddiogelu pob dysgwr, ac rydym yn disgwyl i bob aelod o staff rannu'r ymrwymiad hwn.

Mae'r rôl hon wedi'i chynnwys o dan Orchymyn Deddf Adsefydlu Troseddwyr 1974 (Eithriadau) ac wedi'i dosbarthu fel gweithgaredd rheoleiddiedig.

Mae'n ofynnol felly cael gwiriad DBS Uwch gyda Rhestr Waharddedig, ac mae'n rhaid i ymgeiswyr ddatgelu pob rhybudd a chollfarn yn cynnwys unrhyw rai sydd wedi darfod. Mae'n drosedd gwneud cais os ydych wedi'ch wahardd rhag gweithio gyda phlant. Ni fydd datgelu yn atal cyflogaeth yn awtomatig; cynhelir asesiad risg ond efallai y byddwn yn ystyried bod rhai euogfarnau / rhybuddion yn golygu eu bod nhw'n anaddas i weithio gyda phlant.

Yn dibynnu ar y swydd, efallai y bydd angen i ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus gofrestru gyda Chyngor y Gweithlu Addysg hefyd.

Fel arfer mae swyddi'n cael eu hysbysebu gydag ystod cyflog. Os cewch gynnig swydd yn y coleg, bydd profiad perthnasol yn cael ei ystyried er mwyn pennu eich cyflog cychwynnol.

Sylwer fod Coleg Cambria yn cadw'r hawl i gau'r rhestr ymgeiswyr yn gynnar ar gyfer unrhyw swydd pe byddwn yn derbyn nifer fawr o geisiadau.
