Collections Assistant / Cynorthwyydd Casgliadau

What it's like to work here:Erddig is set on the outskirts of Wrexham, North Wales. Our Collections and House Team thrive in a busy environment working collaboratively to improve care and access to our collection. We are a supportive and friendly team, who work hard but always find time to have a cup of tea and catch up. Due to our rural location, access to your own transport to get here would be beneficial.

Mae Erddig wedi ei leoli ar gyrion Wrecsam. Mae ein Tîm Tŷ a Chasgliadau'n ffynnu mewn amgylchedd prysur, yn cydweithio er mwyn gwella ein ffordd o ofalu am gasgliadau a mynediad at ein casgliad. Rydym yn dîm cefnogol a chyfeillgar, sy'n gweithio'n galed ond rydym yn dod o hyd i amser i gael hoe fach, paned a sgwrs. Oherwydd ein lleoliad gwledig, byddai'n fuddiol petaech â'ch cludiant eich hun i gyrraedd yma.

What you'll be doing:You'll be responsible for delivering collections cleaning and care at one of the largest, most diverse and fragile collections in the National Trust. Working in a team of Collections Assistants you'll help with updating collections records and undertake pest and environmental checks. You'll assist with the supervising and training of volunteers, and you'll also help by providing excellent customer service by sharing your knowledge and experience with visitors.

Byddwch yn gyfrifol am gyflwyno'r gwaith o lanhau a gofalu am un o gasgliadau mwyaf ei faint, mwyaf amrywiol a mwyaf bregus yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol. Wrth weithio mewn tîm o Gynorthwywyr Casgliadau byddwch yn helpu gyda'r gwaith o ddiweddaru cofnodion casgliadau ac yn cynnal gwiriadau plâu ac amgylcheddol. Byddwch yn cynorthwyo â'r gwaith o oruchwylio a hyfforddi gwirfoddolwyr, a byddwch hefyd yn helpu i gynnig gwasanaeth cwsmer rhagorol drwy rannu eich gwybodaeth a phrofiad gydag ymwelwyr.
