Byddwch yn gweithio gartref tra bod y safle darparu yn cael ei ddiogelu
Ydych chi'n angerddol am gymorth cynnar, cymorth iechyd a lles emosiynol i blant?
Rydym yn chwilio am ymarferydd profiadol a dynamig sy'n rhannu uchelgeisiau a gwerthoedd Cymdeithas y Plant, ein partneriaid, a BBC Plant Mewn Angen i weithio'n uniongyrchol gyda phlant 8-13 oed a'u teuluoedd lle bo hynny'n briodol.

Mae'r cyllid yn mynd i greu rhaglen cymorth cynnar a fydd yn cefnogi plant 8 - 13 oed ledled Cymru, Lloegr, Gogledd Iwerddon a'r Alban gyda ffocws cryf ar y plant a'r teuluoedd hynny nad ydynt yn cael eu cynrychioli mewn gwasanaethau iechyd a lles emosiynol ac iechyd meddwl. Ein huchelgais yw cefnogi plant a'u teuluoedd cyn gynted â phosibl i helpu i atal plant rhag datblygu a phrofi ac anawsterau iechyd meddwl wrth iddynt gyrraedd eu harddegau.
Bydd y rhaglen yn cynnig ymyriadau lles un-i-un sy'n gyfyngedig o ran amser i blant a'u teuluoedd. Byddwn yn defnyddio dulliau sy'n canolbwyntio ar atebion i ddarparu blwch cymorth o strategaethau i blant a'u teuluoedd i helpu i gefnogi iechyd a lles emosiynol y plant a rheoli eu teimladau.

Anogir ceisiadau o gefndiroedd a chymunedau amrywiol ac mae gennym bolisïau i gefnogi cyflogaeth hyblyg, gynhwysol a hygyrch.
Mae'r gallu i siarad Cymraeg yn dymunol
Mae oriau agor gwasanaethau Iechyd a Lles Emosiynol yn cefnogi anghenion y cymunedau yr ydym yn gweithio ynddynt, ac felly mae yna elfennau o oriau anghymdeithasol - gall hyn gynnwys gyda'r nos, penwythnosau, a gwyliau banc.

Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer ceisiadau yw hanner nos ar 04/05/2025. Os byddwn wedi derbyn digon o geisiadau ar ôl 14 diwrnod, efallai y byddwn yn cau'r swydd wag hon o 28/04/24 ymlaen.
Wrexham - Dyddiad Dros Dro Cyfweliad 09/05/25 neu 12/05/25
Mae Cymdeithas y Plant wedi ymrwymo i ddiogelu ac amddiffyn y plant a'r bobl ifanc rydym yn gweithio gyda nhw. O'r herwydd, mae pob swydd yn destun proses recriwtio fwy diogel, gan gynnwys datgelu cofnodion troseddol a gwiriadau fetio. Rydym yn sicrhau bod gennym gasgliad o bolisïau a gweithdrefnau ar waith sy'n hyrwyddo arferion gwaith diogelu a mwy diogel ar draws ein gwasanaethau.
Felly, bydd gofyn i ymgeiswyr sy'n gwneud cais am waith yn ein Parth Effaith Ieuenctid gwblhau cyfrif o'u hanes gwaith llawn.
