Mae Coleg Cambria wedi ymrwymo i hyrwyddo proffil y Gymraeg.

Mae hyrwyddo'r Gymraeg yn rhan hanfodol o'n gwaith. Mae croeso i ymgeiswyr gyflwyno cais yn Gymraeg. Nid ydym yn trin cais a gyflwynwyd yn Gymraeg yn llai ffafriol na chais a chyflwynwyd 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'.

Mae hyrwyddo Cydraddoldeb ac Amrywiaeth yn rhan hanfodol o'n gwaith, ac mae'r coleg wedi ymrwymo i gael grwp staff amrywiol fel rhan o hynny.

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 gwahardd 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. Byddwn yn argymell eich bod yn cwblhau eich cais cyn gynted â phosibl os hoffech gael eich ystyried ar gyfer y swydd hon.
