Mae Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam wedi’i lleoli yng ngogledd ddwyrain Cymru ac mae’n falch o’i threftadaeth Gymreig a’i hunaniaeth ddiwylliannol. Dros y blynyddoedd mae wedi tyfu i adlewyrchu poblogaeth sy’n aml-grefyddol ac aml-ethnig gan adlewyrchu amrywiaeth ein cymunedau.

Wedi’i chanoli ar ddinas Wrecsam, sy’n swatio rhwng mynyddoedd Cymru a gwastadeddau Swydd Gaer, mae’n lleoliad sy’n gallu cynnig y gorau o’r ddau fyd i chi ac rymynwn yn falch o’n statws dinas (a ddyfarnwyd yn 2022 pan roddwyd i ni’r statws hwn, y seithfed ddinas yng Nghymru i’w gael).

Mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam yn Gyngor unedol sy’n darparu ystod eang o wasanaethau gyda’r nod o wella bywydau trigolion Wrecsam a’r cymunedau cyfagos. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu gwasanaethau trwy gydweithio â phartneriaid lleol a chenedlaethol. Gyda ffocws ar ddatblygu cynaliadwy, lles cymunedol, a gwella bywydau trigolion Wrecsam a’r cymunedau cyfagos, mae Wrecsam yn lle gwych i weithio, byw a dysgu.

Mae’r cyngor yn gyflogwr cynhwysol gyda gweithlu o tua 5,500, sy’n cynnig rolau amrywiol, hyfforddiant a datblygiad a chyfleoedd gyrfa gwerth chweil. Mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam yn gwerthfawrogi arloesedd, dwyieithrwydd yn Gymraeg a Saesneg, ac yn croesawu ymgeiswyr o bob cefndir.

Fel Cyflogwr Hyderus ac Ymroddedig o ran Anabledd, mae’r cyngor yn sicrhau recriwtio a chefnogaeth hygyrch i weithwyr anabl gan gynnwys cynnig cyfweliad gwarantedig (lle bodlonir eitemau manyleb person hanfodol). Yn ogystal, bydd cyn-filwyr yn derbyn cyfweliadau gwarantedig o dan Gyfamod y Lluoedd Arfog os bodlonir meini prawf cymhwysedd (lle bodlonir eitemau manyleb person hanfodol).
