Ynglŷn â'r Swydd

Dyma gyfle am rôl gyffrous yn gweithio gyda Sustrans fel rhan o’r Tîm Dinasoedd a Threfi Byw i gynyddu effaith ein gwaith newid ymddygiad mewn ysgolion ar draws De Ddwyrain Cymru.

Mae’r rôl yn golygu hyrwyddo teithio llesol (beicio, sgwtera a cherdded) ymysg plant oedran ysgol, rhieni a staff mewn ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd dethol er mwyn lleihau’r nifer o ddisgyblion sy’n cael eu gyrru i’r ysgol.

Bydd yr her gyffrous hon yn cynnwys gweithio’n uniongyrchol gydag ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd lleol, gan weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid perthnasol, darparu arweiniad a hyfforddiant i staff ysgolion a chynnal gweithgareddau ymarferol gyda rhieni a disgyblion.

Dylai ymgeiswyr fod wedi’u lleoli o fewn yr ardal ddaearyddol, a disgwylir teithio’n rheolaidd i ysgolion a bennwyd ar draws y rhanbarth.

 

Amdanoch chi

Bydd gennych brofiad o weithio mewn amgylchedd ysgolion gyda phlant a phobl ifanc, o gynnal hyfforddiant sgiliau ac o weithio mewn partneriaeth o fewn amrywiaeth o feysydd gallu, a byddwch yn meddu ar y gallu i feithrin perthynas waith gadarn.

Bydd eich brwdfrydedd yn ysgogi eraill a bydd eich cyfathrebu ysgrifenedig a llafar rhagorol yn cyfannu eich sgiliau trefniadol a chynllunio cadarn.

Mae llythrennedd TG yn hanfodol, ac felly hefyd ddealltwriaeth o leoliadau ysgolion a manteision iechyd teithio llesol.Byddwch hefyd yn ymrwymedig i deithio llesol a hyrwyddo trafnidiaeth gynaliadwy.

Byddwch yn unigolyn sy’n fedrus wrth ddangos natur agored, gynhwysol, ynghyd â sensitifrwydd a’r gallu i ryngweithio gyda pharch gyda holl bobl a deall gwahaniaethau unigolion. Mae hyn yn cynnwys eich hyfedredd wrth ddefnyddio’r iaith Gymraeg ar lefel sgwrsio.

Mae Datgeliad Manylach gan y Gwasanaeth Datgelu a Gwahardd (DBS) yn hanfodol ar gyfer y rôl hon.

Mae gan Sustrans ymrwymiad hirdymor i fod yn elusen i bawb – gan leihau anghydraddoldeb, gwerthfawrogi amrywiaeth, galluogi cynhwysiant a sicrhau bod pawb yn cael eu trin gydag urddas a pharch. Ein nod yw bod yn gyflogwr gwirioneddol gynhwysol a chroesawn geisiadau gan bobl o bob rhan o’r gymuned, yn arbennig o blith grwpiau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol.
