Summary

Mae cyfle cyffrous wedi codi i Uwch Swyddog Cynllunio ymuno â'r tîm Rheoli Datblygu, ar gontract cyfnod penodol tan fis Mawrth 2028.

Rydym ni’n chwilio am unigolyn hynod o frwdfrydig sydd â phrofiad ym maes Rheoli Datblygu, ac sydd â phrofiad sylweddol ym maes Gorfodi Cynllunio, yn ddelfrydol.

Byddwch chi’n unigolyn brwdfrydig a rhagweithiol, sy’n gallu gweithio'n annibynnol ac yn rhan o dîm. Eich prif ffocws fydd ymdrin ag achosion gorfodi mawr ac amrywiol mewn modd effeithlon, proffesiynol ac amserol, yn unol â therfynau amser statudol. Bydd gofyn i chi hefyd baratoi datganiadau apêl a chyflwyno tystiolaeth mewn gwrandawiadau, ymholiadau ac achosion llys.

Byddwch chi’n weithiwr proffesiynol profiadol sydd â gradd neu gymhwyster cyfatebol mewn Cynllunio Trefol neu ddisgyblaeth gysylltiedig. Yn ddelfrydol, byddwch chi’n aelod o RTPI (neu'n fodlon gwneud cais am aelodaeth), a dylech chi feddu ar wybodaeth ragorol o ddeddfwriaeth, cyfraith achos, polisi ac arferion gorfodi cynllunio.

Mae’n rhaid bod gan ymgeiswyr sgiliau cyfathrebu rhagorol, ar lafar ac yn ysgrifenedig, yn ogystal â sgiliau TG da iawn. Mae gallu teithio ledled y sir yn ofyniad hanfodol ar gyfer y swydd, yn ogystal â gweithio y tu allan i oriau gwaith arferol yn achlysurol.

Manylion y rheolwr ar gyfer trafodaeth anffurfiol: Paula Jones, Rheolwr Datblygu a Rheoli Adeiladu (Paula.jones@conwy.gov.uk / 01492 575271)

Gofynion y Gymraeg: Mae’r gallu i gyfarthrebu yn y Gymraeg yn ddymunol ar gyfer y swydd hon. Rydym ni wedi ymrwymo i'r Gymraeg ac yn falch iawn o’n diwylliant Cymreig. Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg fel ei gilydd ac ni fydd ffurflenni cais a dderbynnir yn y naill iaith na’r llall yn cael eu trin yn llai ffafriol na’i gilydd. Rydym yn frwdfrydig dros eich cefnogi a’ch annog i ddefnyddio’ch Cymraeg, beth bynnag eich lefel; ac mae gennym ni ddosbarthiadau am ddim ar gyfer pob lefel, wyneb yn wyneb ac ar-lein, i’ch cefnogi chi ymhellach.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Planning Officer to join the Development Management team, on a fixed term contract until March 2028.
