Fel sefydliad ‘nid-er-elw’, mae TACT yn rhoi anghenion ein plant a’n gofalwyr yn gyntaf ac yn ceisio penodi unigolion sydd yr un mor frwd dros faethu â ni. Rydym yn sefydliad gweithio gartref, ac rydym yn ymfalchïo yn ein cyfleoedd gweithio hyblyg, sydd ar gael o’r diwrnod cyntaf, rhaglen llesiant helaeth a’n pecyn buddion, i gyd wedi’u curadu i feithrin cydbwysedd iach rhwng bywyd a gwaith i’n holl weithwyr er mwyn iddyn nhw allu rhoi gwasanaeth rhagorol i’n gofalwyr a’r bobl ifanc a’r plant rydym yn gofalu amdanyn nhw.
Fel elusen gofal maeth, mae TACT yn buddsoddi’r holl incwm sydd dros ben mewn gwasanaethau, staff, gofalwyr a datblygiad plant. Mae hyn yn golygu ein bod wedi gallu buddsoddi mewn prosiectau unigryw fel TACT Connect, ein cynllun unigryw ac arloesol ar gyfer pobl ifanc ac oedolion ifanc sydd â phrofiad o ofal, yn ogystal â’n Gwasanaeth Addysg sy’n ehangu (TACT Education Service), a’n Gwasanaeth Iechyd newydd. Mae ein holl weithgareddau’n seiliedig ar ein hymrwymiad i fod yn sefydliad sy’n deall trawma yn llawn, yn unol â’n hethos a’n gwerthoedd allweddol.

Mae diogelu yn fusnes i bawb ac mae TACT yn credu mai dim ond y bobl sydd â’r sgiliau a’r gwerthoedd iawn ddylai weithio ym maes gwaith cymdeithasol. Fel rhan o ymrwymiad TACT i ddiogelu, rydym yn archwilio sgiliau, profiad, cymwysterau a gwerthoedd darpar staff mewn perthynas â’n gwaith gyda phlant ifanc agored i niwed.

Rydym yn cadw’r hawl i gau hysbyseb swydd yn gynharach na’r hyn a hysbysebwyd os yw nifer y ceisiadau’n ormodol, felly fe’ch cynghorir i wneud cais cyn gynted ag y bo modd.
Nid yw TACT yn derbyn dogfennau CV digymell gan asiantaethau recriwtio allanol nac yn derbyn y ffioedd sy’n gysylltiedig â nhw.

About working for us

About us
Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:
-
Courageous
-
Collaborative
-
Compassion
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At PCUK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent, therefore we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.
