Ydych chi'n angerddol am gymorth cynnar, cymorth iechyd a lles emosiynol i blant?

Rydym yn sefydlu gwasanaeth iechyd a lles emosiynol newydd yn Wrecsam ar gyfer plant 8-13 oed ac yn chwilio am Reolwr Gwasanaeth Iechyd a Lles Emosiynol profiadol sydd â gwybodaeth gadarn am wasanaethau a sefydliadau lleol yn Wrecsam a phrofiad o gydweithio ag eraill yn y sector. Byddwch yn darparu arweiniad gwasanaeth a rheolaeth leol ar gyfer rhaglen “Miliwn a Fi” BBC Plant Mewn Angen yn Wrecsam gan sicrhau bod gwasanaeth diogel o ansawdd uchel yn cael ei ddarparu. Gan fod hwn yn wasanaeth newydd mae'n gyfle cyffrous i gyfrannu ato a'i siapio o'r dechrau.

Rydym yn ystyried bod amrywiaeth a chynhwysiant yn hanfodol i gyflawni newid cymdeithasol. Er mwyn mynd i'r afael â'r materion cymhleth sy'n wynebu plant, mae angen mynediad at dalent, safbwyntiau, profiadau ac arferion gwaith amrywiol. Anogir ceisiadau o gefndiroedd a chymunedau amrywiol ac mae gennym bolisïau i gefnogi cyflogaeth hyblyg, gynhwysol a hygyrch.

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.

Buddion: 28 diwrnod o wyliau y flwyddyn pro-rata (yn ogystal â gwyliau banc), polisïau sy'n ystyriol o deuluoedd, Cynllun beicio i'r gwaith, Pensiwn - cyfraniadau gweithwyr o hyd at 8%, Buddion marwolaeth mewn gwasanaeth, Cynllun iechyd gostyngol, gwasanaeth cwnsela cyfrinachol am ddim (mae rhagor o fanylion am fuddion yn y pecyn swydd).

Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer ceisiadau yw hanner nos ar 05/01/2025. Os byddwn wedi derbyn digon o geisiadau ar ôl 14 diwrnod, efallai y byddwn yn cau'r swydd wag hon o 23/12/24 ymlaen.

Dyddiad Dros Dro Cyfweliad 17/01/25

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.

Ynglyn â'r Rhaglen Lle i Dyfu

Mae Lle i Dyfu yn bartneriaeth genedlaethol rhwng Cymdeithas y Plant yng Nghymru a Lloegr, Children First yn yr Alban, a MACS yng Ngogledd Iwerddon.

Mae'r rhaglen yn cael ei hariannu gan grant o £1 miliwn gan bartneriaid ariannu Plant Mewn Angen y BBC, y Sefydliad Iechyd, ac Impact on Urban Health, eu dyfarniad unigol mwyaf trwy raglen ariannu agored, o'r enw 'Dyfarniad Miliwn a Fi'. Er mwyn ehangu a chynyddu ein heffaith ac i gyrraedd cymaint o blant â phosibl, mae Cymdeithas y Plant yn buddsoddi £1 miliwn arall sy'n golygu bod gennym £2 filiwn dros y ddwy flynedd nesaf i newid bywydau plant yn wirioneddol.

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 plentyn a rheoli ei deimladau. Bydd y gwaith uniongyrchol gyda phlant a theuluoedd yn cael ei gefnogi gan ymyriadau digidol, trwy ddefnyddio ein ap lles ein hunain "Me Time".
