Rydym yn rhoi gwerth enfawr ar ein meysydd pwnc, gan amddiffyn swyddogaeth hanfodol y Celfyddydau, Diwylliant ac Iaith yn y gymuned ehangach, lles cymdeithasol ac unigol, ac yn cydnabod ein cyfrifoldeb i sicrhau bod ein gwaith academaidd a'n hymarfer creadigol yn cysylltu â chymunedau lleol, rhanbarthol, cenedlaethol a byd-eang.

Gan adeiladu ar ein rhagoriaeth ymchwil, staff cryf a chymuned myfyrwyr, a'n cysylltiadau lleol, mae gennym gynllun uchelgeisiol ar gyfer twf, ac arweinyddiaeth ein Pennaeth Ysgol newydd fydd y cynhwysyn hanfodol ar gyfer cefnogi ein huchelgeisiau.  I gael manylion llawn am y swydd hon sy’n cynnig cyfle rhagorol a sut y gallwch fynd â'n hysgol newydd i'r lefel nesaf o ran effaith a dylanwad, ewch i www.andersonquigley.com/bangor-academic  neu www.andersonquigley.com/bangor-academaidd.

Ein nod yw manteisio ar bob cyfle i hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth ac rydym yn annog ceisiadau gan ymgeiswyr heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ar y lefel hon.
