Cyfreithiwr y Llywodraeth

Cymru Gyfan

£50,870 - £60,830

Yn dechrau ar £50,870 ac yn codi'n raddol dros 3 blynedd i £60,830 (os oes gennych dair blynedd neu ragor o brofiad ar ôl cymhwyso); Swyddog Cyfreithiol - yn dechrau ar £30,600 os oes gennych lai na thair blynedd o brofiad ar ôl cymhwyso. Gallech fod yn gymwys i gael eich ail-raddio i radd a chyflog Cyfreithiwr pan fyddwch wedi gwneud blwyddyn o wasanaeth neu pan fydd gennych dair blynedd o brofiad ar ôl cymhwyso, pa un bynnag fydd yn digwydd gyntaf (yn amodol ar berfformiad boddhaol). Noder, os bydd y dyddiad pan fo gan unigolyn dair blynedd o brofiad yn dod o fewn y cyfnod prawf, ni fydd yn mynd i'r radd nesaf hyd nes y bydd y cyfnod prawf wedi dod i ben.

Mae swyddi parhaol a swyddi cyfnod penodol (1-2 flynedd) ar gael, gyda’r posibilrwydd o gyflogaeth barhaol ar ddiwedd y cyfnod penodol. Mae pob un o’r swyddi hyn ar gael yn rhan-amser neu’n swyddi y gellir eu rhannu. Mae hefyd gyfleoedd posibl am secondiadau tymor byr (1-2 flynedd). Bydd yr ymarfer hefyd yn ceisio dod o hyd i sawl ymgeisydd llwyddiannus, naill ai i ddechrau swydd ar unwaith neu i gael cyfle i ddechrau swydd a fydd yn codi yn ystod y 12 mis wedi hynny.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yng nghanol cyfnod o newid a heriau na welwyd eu tebyg erioed o’r blaen. Mae angen ymgymryd â gwaith hollbwysig mewn cysylltiad â threfniadau pontio’r UE, yr ymateb i bandemig COVID-19 a’r gwaith adfer cysylltiedig, ymhlith pethau eraill. Mae'r Adran Gwasanaethau Cyfreithiol o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru yn chwilio am nifer o gyfreithwyr hynod ddawnus i gryfhau ei gallu i weithredu mewn cyfnod hanfodol bwysig yn hanes Cymru a'r DU. 

Os yw gweithio yn rheng flaen y gyfraith yn apelio atoch, byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn falch o glywed gennych. Byddwch yn darparu cyngor cyfreithiol mewn amgylchedd cyfraith gyhoeddus, lle mae’r gwaith yn digwydd yn gyflym a'r materion o dan sylw yn aml yn uchel eu proffil ac yn arwyddocaol o ran sut mae cyfansoddiad y DU yn datblygu. Byddwch yn gweithio mewn tîm, gan ennill profiad o gydweithio â chyfreithwyr, cleientiaid polisi a Gweinidogion Cymru i lywio polisi yng Nghymru.

Rydym yn hysbysebu swyddi lle mae'r Gymraeg yn hanfodol a swyddi lle mae'r Gymraeg yn ddymunol.

Company

The Welsh Government is the devolved Government for Wales. We are working to help improve the lives of people in Wales and make our nation a better place in which to live and work.

The Welsh Government consists of:

  • The First Minister
  • Welsh Ministers
  • The Counsel General
  • Deputy Ministers


They are supported by civil servants who work across devolved areas that include key areas of public life such as health, education and the environment.

We aim to be open and responsive to the needs of citizens and communities and are one of the few governments in the world that publishes Cabinet minutes and papers. Responsibility for most key areas of public life including health, education and environment is devolved.

With offices across Wales, including Merthyr Tydfil, Aberystwyth and Llandudno Junction, we are getting closer to the people we serve.
