Mae Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant o bwysigrwydd strategol o fewn y sefydliad ac yn cael ei gydnabod fel rhan annatod o bopeth a wnawn fel gwasanaeth.

Yn ganolog i'n cenhadaeth Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant mae adeiladu timau amrywiol a chynhwysol y mae pawb yn teimlo'n rhan ohonynt. Rydym yn credu bod cynhwysiant yn fater cyfiawnder cymdeithasol - egwyddor sy'n sail i'n holl waith Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant. I'r perwyl hwnnw, rydym yn croesawu'n arbennig ceisiadau gan bobl yr hoffem eu gweld yn cael eu cynrychioli'n well yn ein sefydliad a'n sector - pobl o liw, pobl LHDTC+ a phobl anabl. Byddwn yn cynnig cyfweliad i ymgeiswyr anabl sy'n nodi eu bod yn dymuno i'w cais gael ei ystyried o dan ein Hymrwymiad Cyfweliad Anabledd Hyderus os ydynt yn bodloni ein meini prawf dethol yn eu cais. Mae rhai o'n rolau yn denu nifer uchel o geisiadau ac mewn rhai amgylchiadau lle nad yw'n ymarferol neu'n briodol, efallai y byddwn yn cyfyngu ar nifer y cyfweliadau a gynigir i ymgeiswyr anabl a rhai nad ydynt yn anabl. Byddwn yn darparu addasiadau rhesymol yn ôl yr angen. Rydym yn dilyn y model anabledd cymdeithasol.

Rydym yn gyflogwr hyblyg, felly gall y rôl hon fod yn addas i unrhyw un a fyddai'n well ganddynt drefniant hyblyg i helpu eu cydbwysedd gwaith/bywyd - mae llawer o'n cydweithwyr yn treulio'r rhan fwyaf o'u hamser yn gweithio o bell. Er bod yn well gennym ddull cyfunol o weithio sy'n cyfuno gweithio mewn swyddfa leol, os oes un yn agos atoch, a'ch cartref, rydym yn agored i fod yn hyblyg o ran lleoliad. Weithiau, gall rôl olygu bod angen i chi fod wedi'ch lleoli mewn lleoliad penodol. Os yw hynny'n wir, bydd hyn yn cael ei esbonio yn yr hysbyseb neu'r disgrifiad swydd. Gellir trafod hyn yn fanylach yn ystod eich cyfweliad.

Mae'r Cyngor Cenedlaethol ar Bopeth yn gweithredu o swyddfeydd yng Nghymru a Lloegr, gyda 4 swyddfa ranbarthol wedi'u lleoli yng Nghaerdydd, Llundain, Birmingham a Leeds, felly rhaid i bob ymgeisydd llwyddiannus fod wedi'i leoli yng Nghymru neu Loegr.

Byddwch yn ymwybodol nad yw Cyngor ar Bopeth yn sefydliad noddi. Rhaid i'r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus felly fod eisoes â'r hawl i weithio yn y DU neu allu sicrhau'r hawl i weithio yn y DU yn annibynnol.

Rydym wedi derbyn y wobr elusen orau ym mynegai cyflogwyr y trydydd sector, lle cydnabuwyd bod Cyngor ar Bopeth yn sefydliad sydd nid yn unig yn blaenoriaethu'r bobl rydyn ni'n eu gwasanaethu ond hefyd yn rhoi pwyslais ar les ei weithwyr.

Os bydd nifer uchel o geisiadau, rydym yn cadw'r hawl i gau'r broses gais yn gynnar.

Bydd y swydd wag hon yn cau i geisiadau am 23.59 ar y dyddiad cau.

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

The Role
As our Welsh Language Officer you will be an integral member of the Citizens Advice Wales team, part of our Partnerships & Advocacy directorate, and you’ll play a key role in shaping the charity’s Welsh Language strategy.

The role involves influencing national teams, supporting local Citizens Advice in Wales, and you’ll also represent Citizens Advice within Welsh language networks and identify opportunities to support greater access and engagement for clients and colleagues in Wales.

A key aspect of the role involves strategic communication and stakeholder engagement with senior leaders; at Citizens Advice and with stakeholders across Wales including Welsh Government. You’ll also work in partnership with the Welsh Language Commissioner’s office delivering the Cynnig Cymraeg for Citizens Advice and driving forward the “Cymraeg Clir” approach.

Working closely with the Director of Wales and Cymru Advisory group you will shape our Welsh Language strategy and active offer whilst managing translation services and budgets, line manage the Welsh Language Translator, and ensure high-quality Welsh content across platforms.

To apply please submit an anonymous CV and anonymous cover letter. Please keep your cover letter to a page and outline why you would be a good fit for the role.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service.

Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue - a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector - people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. We follow the social model of disability. We will offer an interview to disabled candidates who indicate they wish their application to be considered under our Disability Confident Interview Commitment where they meet our selection criteria in their application. Some of our roles attract a high volume of applications and in some circumstances where it is not practicable or appropriate, we may limit the number of interviews offered to disabled and non-disabled candidates. We will provide reasonable adjustments as needed.

We’re a flexible employer, so this role may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance, many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely. Whilst we prefer a blended approach between a local office, if one is near you, and home we’re open to being flexible on location, occasionally a role may require you to be based in a certain location if that's the case it will be detailed in the advert or job description. This can be discussed in more detail during your interview.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

We have been awarded the top charity in Third sectors' employer index, where it's recognised that Citizens Advice is an organization that not only prioritizes the people we serve but also values the wellbeing of its employees.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy internal staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy and will prioritise them in the recruitment process where necessary. If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

This vacancy closes at 23.59 on the closing date.

About The Azaylia Foundation

The Azaylia Foundation was founded by Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee after the passing of their eight-month old daughter, Azaylia. Childhood cancer is the number one killer of children in the UK, yet it receives less than 3% of cancer research funding. Backed by a large community of supporters, The Azaylia Foundation is committed to reversing this systemic underfunding through advocacy, PhD research grants, and family support for treatments not freely available via the NHS. Our flagship programme, The Azaylia PhD Scholarship Program, aims to fund 20 new childhood cancer PhDs and their research over a period of 5 years.
