Ydych chi'n awyddus i wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn i fywydau plant drwy ymgysylltu'n effeithiol â pholisïau a materion cyhoeddus? Ydych chi'n awyddus i ddatblygu eich sgiliau drwy weithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, Aelodau o'r Senedd, neu bobl allweddol eraill sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau yng Nghymru? Rydym ni eisiau clywed gennych chi.

Mae Barnardo's Cymru yn chwilio am Swyddog Polisi a Materion Cyhoeddus (Cymru) i helpu i siapio ein gwaith dylanwadu a chryfhau ein presenoldeb ym myd llunio polisïau yng Nghymru. Mae hwn yn gyfle gwych i rywun sy'n awyddus i adeiladu ar eu gwybodaeth a'u profiad presennol gyda dylanwadwyr polisi yng Nghymru, gan chwarae rhan allweddol yn y gwaith o greu newid cadarnhaol a pharhaol i blant, pobl ifanc a theuluoedd.

Yn y swydd hon, byddwch chi'n gweithio'n agos gyda'n Huwch Arweinydd Polisi a Materion Cyhoeddus (Cymru) i roi ein cynllun dylanwadu ar waith. Byddwch chi'n helpu i godi proffil Barnardo's Cymru ymysg rhanddeiliaid allweddol, gan gynnwys swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru, Aelodau o'r Senedd, a dylanwadwyr polisi eraill. Byddwch chi'n cymryd rhan yn y canlynol:

Monitro datblygiadau allweddol yn nhirwedd polisi Cymru Rheoli perthnasoedd a chysylltu â rhanddeiliaid ar bob lefel Cynnal ymchwil a pharatoi adroddiadau i gefnogi ein hamcanion polisi Cefnogi gwaith polisi adweithiol i ymateb i faterion sy'n dod i'r amlwg Trefnu digwyddiadau i arddangos gwaith hanfodol Barnardo's ac ymgysylltu â'r rhai sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau

Bydd eich ymdrechion yn sicrhau bod lleisiau plant, pobl ifanc, teuluoedd a'n gwasanaethau yn ganolog i'n gweithgareddau dylanwadu yng Nghymru.

Byddwch chi'n gweithio o gartref ond bydd angen i chi deithio i Gaerdydd a/neu rannau eraill o Gymru ar gyfer cyfarfodydd wyneb yn wyneb yn ôl yr angen.  Mae'r swydd yn cael ei chynnig ar sail 0.6 cyfwerth ag amser llawn (21.75 awr yr wythnos).

Oherwydd bod nifer fawr o geisiadau am rai swyddi, efallai y bydd yr hysbyseb hon yn cau cyn y dyddiad cau a ddangosir. Rydym ni'n argymell eich bod yn gwneud cais am y swydd hon cyn gynted â phosibl.

Fframwaith Cyflogau a Gwobrwyo

Er bod y band cyflog llawn a'r ystod cyflog yn cael eu hysbysebu, ein dull o ran cyflog cychwynnol yw penodi rhwng isafswm a chanolbwynt y band cyflog – mae hyn yn sicrhau bod camau cyflog ar gael i wobrwyo ein cydweithwyr bob blwyddyn ar sail eu cyfraniad at ragoriaeth ac aliniad â'n gwerthoedd a'n hymddygiad. Mae rhagor o fanylion am fframwaith tâl Barnardo's ar gael wrth wneud cais.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's . We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
