Fel un o’r tri Chydlynydd ar gyfer ein gwasanaeth cymunedol RNID Gerllaw Chi yn Ne a Gorllewin Cymru, byddwch yn canolbwyntio ac yn arwain ar ddatblygu a darparu’r gwasanaeth cymunedol ar draws eich ardal ddynodedig trwy sesiynau galw heibio sy’n cynnig:
· cymorth ymarferol gyda chymhorthion clyw
· gwybodaeth am golled clyw a thinitws
· archwiliadau clyw
Byddwch yn gyfrifol am gydlynu hyd at 15 o sesiynau galw heibio ac yn gallu recriwtio, hyfforddi, a rheoli tîm o hyd at 25 o wirfoddolwyr i ddarparu’r gwasanaeth. Byddwch yn gyfrifol am drefnu a chynnal y sesiynau hyn, a bydd gennych wybodaeth leol dda am yr ardal a ddewiswyd i geisio cyfleoedd newydd i ddarparu gwasanaethau RNID Gerllaw Chi.
Rydym am benodi person llawn cymhelliant sydd â diddordeb mawr mewn cynorthwyo pobl â nam ar eu clyw. Tra byddwch yn gweithio gartref yn bennaf, bydd gofyn i chi deithio’n rheolaidd i bob lleoliad lle byddwn yn darparu sesiynau galw heibio mewn lleoliadau cymunedol.
Rydych chi eisiau gwneud gwahaniaeth ym mywydau pobl ac wrth eich bodd yn rhyngweithio â chynulleidfaoedd amrywiol, gan gynnwys gwirfoddolwyr, gweithwyr iechyd a gofal proffesiynol, a defnyddwyr gwasanaethau. Mae gennych brofiad o reoli digwyddiadau, eich llwyth gwaith eich hun, a gallwch weithio gyda’r nos / ar benwythnosau, os oes angen. Rydych yn gallu cynorthwyo cleientiaid â chymhorthion clyw mewn modd sensitif, gan roi arweiniad clir ac ystyriaeth i ddymuniadau ac anghenion iechyd yr unigolyn.
Rydych yn barod i weithio i sefydliad sy’n gweithio gartref ac mae gennych sgiliau TG da, yn enwedig gyda rhaglenni Microsoft Office, gan gynnwys Outlook, Excel, a Word.
Pwy ydym ni
RNID ydym ni. Gyda’n gilydd byddwn yn gwneud bywyd yn fwy cynhwysol i bobl fyddar a’r rhai sydd â cholled clyw neu dinitws.
Mae ein helusen wedi trawsnewid yn llwyr, wrth adeiladu ar y gorau o’n gorffennol. Rydym wedi dychwelyd at ein hen enw poblogaidd, wedi dechrau gweithio o bell yn gyfan gwbl, ac wedi sefydlu strategaeth newydd, sy’n canolbwyntio ar gyrraedd y 18 miliwn o bobl yn y DU sy’n fyddar, sydd â cholled clyw neu dinitws.
Rydym yn creu diwylliant cwbl wahanol sy’n canolbwyntio’n allanol, yn chwilfrydig, yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, yn fwriadol, yn ystwyth ac yn canolbwyntio ar y dyfodol. Mae ein gwerthoedd wrth wraidd yr hyn a wnawn.
Rydym yn ymdrechu i fod, ac yn parhau i fod yn gysylltiedig â’n cymunedau, yn graff, ac yn hyderus yn yr hyn a wnawn a phwy ydym ni, yn chwilfrydig ym mhopeth a wnawn, ac yn angerddol am ein pwrpas.
Mae’r rôl hon yn bwysig i ni, a dyma ble rydych chi’n dod i mewn...

Hyderus o ran Anabledd
Mae Hyderus o ran Anabledd yn gynllun gan y Llywodraeth, sydd wedi’i gynllunio i annog cyflogwyr i recriwtio a chadw pobl anabl a phobl â chyflyrau iechyd. Mae wedi disodli’r cynllun blaenorol Dau Dic: Cadarn o Blaid Pobl Anabl, y gallech fod wedi clywed amdano.
Mae RNID yn falch o fod yn aelod o Hyderus o ran Anabledd ac, fel Arweinydd Hyderus o ran Anabledd, rydym yn cydnabod gwerth pobl anabl i RNID. Rydym yn cynnig cyfweliad i unrhyw ymgeisydd sy’n dweud wrthym fod ganddo / ganddi anabledd, ac sy’n bodloni’r meini prawf sylfaenol ar gyfer y rôl.
Ariennir y prosiect hwn gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol.
