Mae timau gweithredol, arbenigwyr a’r tîm uwch reolwyr Gwasanaethau Plant Conwy i gyd yn gweithio ar yr un safle ym Mae Colwyn sy’n helpu staff yn fawr gyda chyfathrebu, cynllunio, ymyrraeth mewn argyfwng a datrys problemau.

Mae’r Tîm Gwaith Maes yn cynnig gwasanaeth i blant dan ofal, plant sydd angen eu diogelu ac yn rhoi cefnogaeth tymor hirach i deuluoedd. Mae gennym ystod eang o wasanaethau cefnogi mewnol i’n helpu i wneud hyn. Maent yn cynnwys gweithwyr cefnogi rhieni, tîm cyffuriau ac alcohol, arbenigwyr addysg ac iechyd, seicolegwyr, gweithwyr cymdeithasol therapiwtig a swyddogion arbenigol eraill.

Rydym yn chwilio am weithiwr cymdeithasol efo profiad o weithio efo plant a theuluoedd efo anghenion tymor hirach. Yn ogystal â’r gefnogaeth uchod rydym yn cynnig goruchwyliaeth gyson a chyfarfodydd adolygu perfformiad yn ogystal â chynnig gwahanol gyfleoedd hyfforddi, gan gynnwys cymwysterau ôl-gymhwysol. Mae gan aelodau’r tîm amrywiaeth o brofiadau ac rydym yn annog cyfoedion i gefnogi’i gilydd. Mae cymhwyster CQSW neu DIPSW, profiad blaenorol o ofal plant a gwybodaeth gadarn o ddeddfwriaethau perthnasol yn hanfodol.

Oherwydd bod ardaloedd gwledig eang yng Nghonwy, mae angen gallu gyrru a defnyddio car, neu gallu teithio ledled yr ardal i apwyntiadau. Byddwn yn talu cyfradd defnyddiwr achlysurol i ddeiliaid y swyddi. Gan fod y tîm yn gweithio mewn ardal ddwyieithog byddai’r gallu i gyfathrebu yn Gymraeg a Saesneg yn fanteisiol.
