Byddwch yn ymuno â'n AGG ac yn gweithio ochr yn ochr gyda’n dau brif dyfwr, yn tyfu llysiau trwy gydol y flwyddyn i gyflenwi ein haelodaeth o 140 o gartrefi. Byddwch hefyd yn arwain gwirfoddolwyr a grwpiau mewn gweithgareddau fferm.

Gan gynnwys pob agwedd o gynllunio cnydau, hau, chwynnu, paratoi tir, cynaeafu, a phacio a storio cynnyrch. Mae Cae Tan yn AGG deinamig ac felly mae angen tyfwr deinamig a phrofiadol.

Byddwn hefyd yn cyflogi Cydlynydd Gwirfoddolwyr i gydlynu a chyfathrebu gyda'r grwpiau rydym yn bwriadu dod i'r cae. Bydd yr Arweinydd Gwirfoddolwyr yn gweithio'n agos gyda'r Cydlynydd Gwirfoddolwyr i gyflwyno'r prosiect yn llwyddiannus. Bydd angen i’r Arweinydd Gwirfoddolwyr weithredu ac arwain gweithgareddau cae, a chymryd rhan mewn rhywfaint o waith monitro sylfaenol, adrodd a marchnata ar y prosiect a digwyddiadau cysylltiedig. Mae hyn yn cynnwys sicrhau bod cofrestrau’n cael eu cadw a’u storio ar gyfer pob sesiwn a, lle bo’n briodol, bod holiaduron llesiant yn cael eu cwblhau a bod ffotograffau’n cael eu tynnu.
