The Department for Transport and Welsh Government are seeking a Traffic Commissioner for Wales, based in Cardiff or Caernarfon though travel to other parts of Wales may be required.
Traffic Commissioners are responsible for the licensing and regulation of those who operate heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches, and the registration of local bus services. Traffic Commissioners for Great Britain can hear cases particularly appeals and complaints from other traffic areas as delegated by the Senior Traffic Commissioner, and thus can undertake duties anywhere in Great Britain. They are assisted in this work by Deputy Traffic Commissioners, who preside over a number of public inquiries and handle written cases. Work as a Commissioner or Deputy is recognised by the Judicial Appointments Commission as being equivalent to tribunal experience.
The role is full-time. Traffic Commissioners are appointed by the Secretary of State under section 4 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 as amended. The roles and responsibilities are determined by statutory powers in both UK and Welsh Devolved primary and secondary legislation (as well as European legislation). Under schedule 2 to the 1981 Act the Traffic Commissioner can delegate their work to Deputy Traffic Commissioners.
Traffic Commissioners' salaries are linked to the public sector pay policy for the judiciary.
Currently, Traffic Commissioners are appointed up to 65 years of age. At the end of the appointment, renewal for further period of 12 months is permitted upon submission subject to approval by the Secretary of State.
Further information about this appointment, including how to apply, the job role and person specification, may be found by contacting the Department for Transport: Paul.wainwright@dft.gov.uk.
The closing date for applications is 17 May 2019.
We welcome applications in both Welsh and English
The Department for Transport is an equal opportunities employer. We value diversity and want our workforce to reflect the communities that we serve.

Dyddiad cychwyn: Medi 2019
Hyd y penodiad: Parhaol
Cyfnod amser:42 awr (dros wythnos 5 diwrnod) gan gynnwys awr y dydd ar gyfer prydau
Tâl cydnabyddiaeth: £99,301 y flwyddyn
Costau: Byddwn yn ad-dalu costau rhesymol fydd yn codi wrth gyflawni dyletswyddau. Bydd yr union fanylion yn cael eu rhoi yn y telerau a'r amodau. Ni fyddwn yn talu costau adleoli.
Meini Prawf Hanfodol: Mae’r rôl yma yn un Cymraeg hanfodol; disgwylir i’r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus allu gweithio trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a Saesneg. Mae cymhwyster cyfreithiol hefyd yn hanfodol.
Mae'r Adran Drafnidiaeth a Llywodraeth Cymru yn chwilio am Gomisiynydd Traffig i Gymru, i weithio yng Nghaerdydd neu Gaernarfon er efallai y bydd angen teithio i rannau eraill o Gymru.
Y Comisiynwyr Traffig ar gyfer Cymru a Lloegr sy’n gyfrifol am drwyddedu a rheoleiddio’r rheiny sy’n gyrru cerbydau nwyddau trwm, bysiau a choetsis, a chofrestru gwasanaethau bysiau lleol. Gall Comisiynydd Traffig Prydain Fawr glywed achosion yn enwedig apeliadau a chwynion o feysydd traffig eraill sy'n cael eu dirprwyo gan yr Uwch-gomisiynydd Traffig, ac felly gall gynnal y dyletswyddau mewn unrhyw fan ym Mhrydain. Fe’u cynorthwyir yn y gwaith hwn gan ddirprwy Gomisiynwyr Traffig, sy’n llywyddu dros nifer o ymchwiliadau cyhoeddus ac yn delio ag achosion ysgrifenedig. Mae gwaith fel Comisiynydd neu Ddirprwy yn cael ei gydnabod gan y Comisiwn Penodiadau Barnwrol fel gwaith sy'n cyfateb â phrofiad mewn tribiwnlys.
Mae'r swydd yn llawn amser. Caiff Comisiynwyr Traffig eu penodi gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol o dan adran 4 Deddf Cerbydau Cludo Teithwyr 1981 fel y'i diwygiwyd. Mae'r rolau a'r cyfrifoldebau yn cael eu penderfynu gan bwerau statudol o fewn deddfwriaeth sylfaenol ac is-ddeddfwriaeth Datganoledig Cymru a'r DU (yn ogystal â deddfwriaeth Ewropeaidd). O dan atodlen 2 o Ddeddf 1981 gall y Comisiynydd ddirprwyo eu gwaith i'r Dirprwy Gomisiynwyr Traffig.
Mae cyflogau Comisiynwyr Traffig yn cael eu cysylltu â pholisi tâl y sector cyhoeddus ar gyfer y farnwriaeth.
Ar hyn o bryd, caiff Comisiynwyr Traffig eu penodi hyd at 65 mlwydd oed. At ddiwedd y penodiad, mae hawl i benodi am 12 mis arall, wedi cyflwyno cais yn amodol ar gymeradwyaeth gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol.
Bydd rhagor o wybodaeth am y penodiad hwn, gan gynnwys sut i wneud cais, cyfrifoldebau'r swydd a'r manyleb person, i'w cael drwy gysylltu â'r Adran Drafnidiaeth: Paul.wainwright@dft.gov.uk.
Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer ceisiadau yw 17 Mai 2019.
Croesawir ceisiadau yn Gymraeg a Saesneg.
Mae Yr Adran Drafnidiaeth yn Gyflogwr Cyfle Cyfartal. Rydym yn gwerthfawrogi amrywiaeth ac am i'n gweithlu adlewyrchu y cymunedau yr ydym yn eu gwasanaethu.
