Welsh Language Development Officer

Do you have a passion for the Welsh language and drive to support babies, children and families?

This is a unique opportunity for you to strengthen our established charity in meeting the needs of Welsh speakers. We need you to join us as we strive to offer the best possible support to all children in Wales.

The NSPCC is the UK's leading children's charity and we've been looking out for children for over 140 years. Our work as NSPCC Cymru is more important now than ever, and we want to provide everyone we work with in Wales the best experience both in Welsh and English. You can help us to play a pivotal role in helping to protect children and prevent abuse in Wales.

We are committed to strengthening our offer to Welsh speaking children and families. Through the implementation of our Cynnig Cymraeg we are targeting equality of service to all people in Wales. We understand that a significant proportion of people living in Wales will wish to engage with us through the Welsh language and are working to facilitate this where it is possible.

As our Welsh Language Development Officer you will champion the use of the Welsh language within the organisation and externally. Your core responsibilities will include:

• Implementation, monitoring and review of Welsh language plans, policies and our Cynnig Cymraeg.

• Ensure that the Welsh language is considered at the earliest stages when planning new projects and activities that have impact on Wales or a Welsh audience.

• Supporting all staff to keep Welsh children safe by ensuring that we maximise opportunities for Welsh speaking children and families.
•  

Are you the candidate we are looking for?

We need someone who is a fluent Welsh speaker and a skilled Welsh writer, with good communication, organisation and project management skills, to help us continue to develop our Welsh Language Action Plan. You'll have to work together with colleague across the charity, as well as build important external relationships in Wales.  If this sounds like you, and you're passionate about making a difference to the lives of children, young people and families in Wales, then we want to hear from you.

Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
