Gweithio gartref gan deithio'n rheolaidd ar draws y rhanbarth
Amdanom ni
Achub pawb yw ein gweledigaeth ni. Mae’n bosibl y bydd yn cymryd amser hir i ni gyrraedd yno, ond mae modd atal pobl rhag boddi. Hyd yn oed os bydd un person yn boddi, mae hyn yn dal yn ormod. Rydyn ni i gyd yn gyfrifol am achub bywydau. Rydyn ni i gyd yn gyfrifol am godi arian. Ni sy’n gyfrifol.
Rydyn ni'n chwilio am y goreuon i fod yn rhan o griw'r RNLI. Mae hon yn rôl gyffrous sy'n canolbwyntio ar bobl, gan sicrhau bod ein bod yn gwneud i wirfoddolwyr a chefnogwyr deimlo eu bod yn aelodau o deulu'r RNLI drwy ein hymgysylltiad, a'u bod yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi a'u cefnogi ym mhopeth maen nhw'n ei wneud. Byddwch yn ein helpu i rymuso ein gwirfoddolwyr yn eu gweithgareddau ymgysylltu, gan gynnwys codi arian, creu profiadau ymwelwyr, datblygu ein darpariaeth manwerthu a chwilio am gynulleidfaoedd a chyfleoedd newydd.
I fod yn llwyddiannus, rhaid i chi fod yn byw yn un o’r ardaloedd canlynol: De Cymru (Gŵyr i Sir Fynwy) a Thair Sir yn Lloegr (Swydd Henffordd, Swydd Gaerloyw a Swydd Gaerwrangon).
Dyma rai o'r manteision
- Gweithio’n hyblyg
- 26 diwrnod o wyliau blynyddol a Gwyliau Banc
- Cynllun pensiwn cystadleuol
- Yswiriant bywyd
- Cynllun arian dewisol iechyd a deintyddol
Eich rôl chi
Fel Rheolwr Cymunedol yn Ne Cymru (Gwyr i Sir Fynwy) a Thair Sir yn Lloegr (Swydd Henffordd, Swydd Gaerloyw a Swydd Gaerwrangon), byddwch wrth galon un o ardaloedd arfordirol a mewndirol mwyaf trawiadol y DU, gan weithio yn y cymunedau anhygoel sy'n gwneud yr RNLI mor arbennig. Dyma eich cyfle chi i gael effaith wirioneddol drwy ddod â phobl at ei gilydd a meithrin cysylltiadau cryf sy'n gyrru ein cenhadaeth o achub bywydau yn ei blaen. Byddwch yn cael eich cysylltu â chymuned yr RNLI yn eich ardal a byddwch yn brif bwynt cyswllt ar gyfer popeth sy'n ymwneud ag ymgysylltu - codi arian, manwerthu a phrofiad ymwelwyr.
Dyma beth fyddwch yn gyfrifol amdano:
- Bod â chysylltiad cryf â chymuned yr RNLI yn eich ardal chi, gan weithredu fel y prif bwynt cyswllt ar gyfer popeth sy'n ymwneud ag ymgysylltu - gan gynnwys codi arian, manwerthu a phrofiad ymwelwyr
- Grymuso’r criw denu gwirfoddolwyr i gyflawni’r hyn maen nhw'n ei wneud orau, sef ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd, rhannu gweledigaeth yr RNLI a datblygu cefnogaeth hanfodol i'n hachos
- Cefnogi’r criw denu gwirfoddolwyr i gyflawni nodau allweddol o ran incwm, sylw a chyswllt, a chwilio am ffyrdd o ymgysylltu â chynulleidfaoedd newydd
- Bod yn aelod o dîm rhanbarthol anhygoel, gan weithio ar y cyd i lunio dyfodol ymgysylltiad yr RNLI a darparu lefel ragorol o ofal i staff, gwirfoddolwyr a chefnogwyr
- Canfod a datblygu ffrydiau incwm newydd a chyfleoedd partneriaeth yn eich cymuned chi
- Amdanoch chi
Byddwch yn gyfathrebwr naturiol, yn berson pobl sy'n ffynnu ar feithrin perthnasoedd, yn rhoi egni i dimau, ac yn gwneud i bethau ddigwydd. Byddwch yn strategol ac yn addasadwy, a byddwch yr un mor gyfforddus yn arwain o'r tu blaen ag ydych chi'n gweithio y tu ôl i'r llenni i gael canlyniadau.
Dyma beth fydd angen i chi ei wneud:
Bod yn bresenoldeb hyderus ac ysbrydoledig sy'n gallu ymgysylltu a grymuso amrywiaeth eang o wirfoddolwyr, canghennau, grwpiau, unigolion a busnesau
Bod yn strategol a hyblyg yn eich dull o gyflawni nodau a mynd i'r afael â heriau
Gallu gweithio fel aelod o dîm sy'n perfformio'n dda, ond yr un mor hyderus wrth weithio'n annibynnol allan yn eich ardal
Bod yn frwd dros wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i'n gwirfoddolwyr a'n cefnogwyr, a chynyddu'r gefnogaeth i'n hachos
Er mwyn cael eich ystyried i fod yn Rheolwr Cymunedol, bydd angen i chi feddu ar y canlynol:
- Profiad sylweddol amlwg o ymgysylltu â chefnogwyr, gwirfoddolwyr a'r cyhoedd
- Sgiliau cyfathrebu ardderchog ar lafar ac ar bapur
- Profiad o arwain pobl, yn ddelfrydol o arwain gwirfoddolwyr mewn amgylchedd cydweithredol
- Profiad o chwilio am gyfleoedd newydd i wella perfformiad a'u rhoi ar waith
- Profiad o gefnogi a meithrin partneriaethau corfforaethol neu gymunedol
- Mae Cymru'n wlad ddwyieithog, gyda'r Gymraeg a'r Saesneg yn cael eu defnyddio'n rheolaidd. Er nad yw'r gallu i siarad ac ysgrifennu yn Gymraeg yn ofyniad hanfodol ar gyfer y rôl, mae’n hanfodol meddu ar ddealltwriaeth o bwysigrwydd y Gymraeg a'i diwylliant
- Mae angen trwydded yrru ddilys ar gyfer y rôl hon
Sylwch fod y rôl hon yn gofyn am lefel sylweddol o deithio yn rhanbarth dynodedig Cymru, Gogledd Orllewin Lloegr, Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr ac Ynys Manaw, ond bydd hefyd yn golygu teithio'n achlysurol i asedau RNLI eraill gan gynnwys ein canolfan gymorth yn Poole ac aros dros nos o bryd i'w gilydd.
I gael rhagor o wybodaeth ac i wneud cais, ewch i’n tudalen swyddi.

Mae ein staff a'n gwirfoddolwyr wedi bod yn achub bywydau ar y môr heb ragfarn ers 200 mlynedd. Rydyn ni’n parchu ac yn gwerthfawrogi cefndiroedd, sgiliau a safbwyntiau amrywiol yn ein timau, ac rydyn ni’n credu bod hyn yn hanfodol er mwyn ein helpu i ddarparu gwasanaeth achub bywyd o'r radd flaenaf. Rydyn ni’n sefydliad cynhwysol ac yn croesawu ceisiadau gan bawb. Yn ogystal â meddu ar y sgiliau sydd eu hangen ar gyfer y rôl, rydyn ni hefyd yn chwilio am ymgeiswyr sy'n rhannu ein hymrwymiad i wireddu ein gwerthoedd RNLI (gonest, dewr, anhunanol a dibynadwy), a'n helpu i weithio tuag at Ein Gweledigaeth: Achub Pawb.
