What it's like to work here

Day-to-day you will be reporting to the Lead Ranger as part of the Ranger team, based at Craflwyn (near Beddgelert). Your primary focus will be on the day to day running of our tree nursery; collecting and processing seeds locally to grow the trees which will support our ambitious tree planting targets. In-house training and support will be provided, but previous horticultural experience would be advantageous.When you’re not in the nursery, you will help on the wider estate in Eifionydd with practical tasks from fencing and dry-stone walling to tree planting and managing invasive species. You will work closely with volunteers and members of the local community; the majority of whom are Welsh speaking, so the ability to communicate effectively in Welsh is highly desirable for this role.There can be no doubt that the area you will work in is stunning, but conditions in the mountains can be harsh. You’ll spend considerable time outdoors, on the mountain all year 'round, so you must be prepared for all types of weather, have good experience working outdoors, and be resilient and willing to adapt your plans to work with the weather of the day.O ddydd i ddydd, fe fyddwch yn atebol i’r Prif Geidwad fel rhan o’r tîm o Geidwaid sydd wedi’i leoli yng Nghraflwyn (ger Beddgelert). Fe fyddwch yn canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar redeg ein planhigfa goed o ddydd i ddydd; casglu a phrosesu hadau yn yr ardal leol i dyfu’r coed a fydd yn cefnogi ein targedau plannu coed uchelgeisiol. Caiff hyfforddiant a chefnogaeth fewnol eu darparu, ond byddai profiad garddwriaethol blaenorol o fantais.Pan na fyddwch yn y blanhigfa, fe fyddwch yn cynorthwyo ar yr ystâd ehangach yn Eifionydd gyda thasgau ymarferol, sy’n cynnwys ffensio, codi waliau sychion, plannu coed a rheoli rhywogaethau goresgynnol. Byddwch yn gweithio’n agos gyda gwirfoddolwyr ac aelodau’r gymuned leol; mae’r mwyafrif ohonynt yn siaradwyr Cymraeg, felly mae’r gallu i gyfathrebu’n effeithiol yn y Gymraeg yn ddymunol iawn ar gyfer y swydd hon.Nid oes amau y bydd yr ardal y byddwch yn gweithio ynddi yn hardd, ond gall y tywydd yn y mynyddoedd fod yn arw. Byddwch yn treulio cryn dipyn o amser yn yr awyr agored ac allan ar y mynydd drwy gydol y flwyddyn, felly mae’n rhaid i chi baratoi at dywydd o bob math, meddu ar brofiad da o weithio yn yr awyr agored, a bod yn wydn ac yn barod i addasu’ch cynlluniau i weithio yn ôl y tywydd ar y diwrnod.

What you'll be doing

You’ll be helping to protect and care for habitats, wildlife, buildings and machinery. You’ll pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm to encourage others to love this area as much as you do. Whenever and wherever you come across people, you’ll take the time to talk to them and answer their questions, rather than rushing away to the next task.

You’ll make sure that the conservation work and outdoor experiences on the land in your care are of the highest standard. You’ll build relationships in the local community, proudly representing the Trust and letting people know about the work you and the team are doing.

You can view the full role profile for this role in the document attached. You don't need to have all the knowledge, skills and experience listed in the role profile; this is just to provide a full picture of what’s possible in this role.

Byddwch yn helpu i warchod a gofalu am gynefinoedd, bywyd gwyllt, adeiladau a pheirianwaith. Byddwch yn trosglwyddo eich gwybodaeth a’ch brwdfrydedd i annog eraill i garu’r ardal hon gymaint ag yr ydych chi’n ei charu. Pryd bynnag a ble bynnag yr ydych chi’n dod i gyswllt â phobl, rydych chi’n cymryd yr amser i siarad â hwy ac i ateb eu cwestiynau, yn hytrach na rhuthro ymlaen i'r dasg nesaf.

Byddwch yn sicrhau bod y gwaith cadwraeth a’r profiadau awyr agored ar y tir sydd dan eich gofal o'r ansawdd uchaf. Byddwch yn meithrin cysylltiadau yn y gymuned leol, yn falch o gynrychioli’r Ymddiriedolaeth ac yn rhoi gwybod i bobl am y gwaith rydych chi a’r tîm yn ei wneud.

Gallwch edrych ar y proffil swydd llawn yn y ddogfen sydd wedi’i hatodi. Nid oes angen i chi feddu ar yr holl wybodaeth, sgiliau a phrofiad sydd ar y rhestr; pwrpas hon yw rhoi llun llawn o’r hyn sy’n bosib yn y swydd hon.
