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

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 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.
