Cyfweliadau: yr wythnos yn dechrau 23 Tachwedd 2026
Rydym yn chwilio am Gogydd Tŷ i ddarparu prydau blasus, wedi’u paratoi fel y gall gwesteion weini eu hunain, ynghyd â rhoi croeso cynnes i’r awduron a’r gwesteion sy’n aros yng Nghanolfan Ysgrifennu Genedlaethol Cymru.
Byddwch yn paratoi prydau blasus ar gyfer hyd at 16 o westeion ar y tro, gan ddarparu ar gyfer anghenion dietegol amrywiol, yn rheoli gweithrediadau’r gegin, ac yn chwarae rhan allweddol wrth greu awyrgylch cynnes a chroesawgar yn Nhŷ Newydd.
Os ydych chi’n berson trefnus, cymdeithasol ac yn mwynhau dod â phobl ynghyd trwy fwyd, byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed gennych.
Mae cyflog o £30,000 y flwyddyn (sy’n cynnwys lwfans gwyliau blynyddol hael, ynghyd â chyfraniad pensiwn cwmni) yn seiliedig ar wythnos gyfartalog o 37 awr trwy gydol y flwyddyn. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i £15.59 yr awr.
Cynhelir cyrsiau am tua 175 diwrnod y flwyddyn, gyda diwrnodau gwaith yn rhedeg yn fras rhwng 11.30 am a 7.30 pm i sicrhau bod cinio a swper yn cael eu gweini. Yn ystod cyfnod prysur yr haf, ni fydd disgwyl i Gogydd y Tŷ weithio mwy na 7 diwrnod yn olynol, a darperir trefniadau i sicrhau bod y swydd yn cael ei gyflenwi tra byddwch chi ar wyliau. Cysylltwch â ni am ragor o wybodaeth ynglŷn â’r amserlen sydd ar y gweill, a sut y gallai hynny weithio orau i chi.
Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau ar gyfer rhannu swydd, gallwch wneud cais fel partneriaeth sydd eisoes wedi sefydlu gyda chyd-ymgeisydd, neu cysylltwch â ni i drafod y posibilrwydd o gael eich paru â phartner yn ystod y broses.
Bydd unrhyw gynigion yn amodol ar wiriad DBS priodol, a drefnir gennym ni, a bydd Llenyddiaeth Cymru yn darparu’r holl hyfforddiant priodol arall.
At Literature Wales, we’re all about supporting writers, no matter where they are on their journey. From children discovering a love of words to new voices finding their feet, to individuals writing regularly but looking for the next step, or established authors putting Wales on the map. Put simply, our charity (no. 1146560) exists to help them grow and thrive.
We do this by offering creative writing courses, bursaries, mentoring, and training. We get writers into schools, onto festival stages, and into communities through workshops and events. We also celebrate the best in Welsh writing with awards like Wales Book of the Year and laureate schemes like the National Poet of Wales.
But it’s not just about writing – it’s about change. We want to tackle inequalities in the sector, striving to make sure Wales’ literary scene reflects the diversity of the nation. And we believe words have the power to transform lives, support well-being, and inspire action on big issues like the climate emergency.
Our work happens in a variety of ways: we run projects ourselves, partner with other organisations, or fund others to bring ideas to life. We’re supported by the Arts Council of Wales and a whole host of brilliant trusts, foundations, companies, and individuals. Their generosity makes our programmes possible.
We work in Welsh, English, and bilingually across Wales, with offices in Llanystumdwy and Cardiff.
