Ar hyn o bryd mae pobl o liw a phobl anabl yn cael eu tangynrychioli ar draws y sector amgylchedd a chadwraeth. Os ydych chi'n uniaethu fel person o liw a/neu anabl, rydym yn eich annog yn arbennig i wneud cais.

Defnydd Derbyniol - Deallusrwydd Artiffisial (AI):

Rydym yn deall y gall ymgeiswyr ddewis defnyddio offer AI i gefnogi eu ceisiadau am swyddi - er enghraifft, i helpu i strwythuro neu olygu ymatebion ysgrifenedig. Rydym yn croesawu'r defnydd o AI yn y ffordd hon, yn enwedig lle mae'n helpu i wella hygyrchedd, fel ar gyfer ymgeiswyr niwroamrywiol. Fodd bynnag, gofynnwn fod unrhyw wybodaeth a gyflwynir yn adlewyrchu eich profiad, sgiliau a dealltwriaeth eich hun. Yn ystod cyfweliadau, disgwylir i ymgeiswyr ymateb yn annibynnol heb ddefnyddio offer AI.
