ITV is for Everyone and we want to ensure that ITV Cymru Wales reflects our audience both on screen and in our teams. We encourage applications from Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent people and People of Colour to help us achieve our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals.

Newsrooms are busy and pressurised environments, involving live news production, which often requires colleagues to make quick decisions under pressure. We also need people who are able to use their initiative.

We need to test these abilities at the interview stage to understand how candidates will react when operating in a pressurised environment. This is a fundamental requirement of the role. We will always consider any request for reasonable adjustments as part of the interview process, for example sharing key themes when that is requested in connection with a neurodivergent condition, whilst still ensuring that we are able to test a candidate's ability to operate in the specific environment of a newsroom.

At ITV, we appreciate the use of technology for research during the application process. We understand that AI tools, including ChatGPT, can be valuable resources. However, we value authenticity and expect applicants to showcase their own thoughts and experiences.

Applications that appear to be directly copied from AI-generated content may be subject to rejection. We believe in a fair and authentic assessment process, and your individuality is key to standing out in our selection.

Closing date: 27/07/25

Please note the notice period for this role is 2 months (this will include any new contracts/ secondments)

Profiad o waith tîm.

Mae ITV i bawb ac rydym eisiau sicrhau bod ITV Cymru yn efelychu’n cynulleidfaoedd ar sgrin ac ar draws y tîm. Rydym yn annog ceisiadau gan ymgeiswyr ag anableddau, yn fyddar, niwrowahaniaeth ac ymgeiswyr o liw i’n helpu i gyrraedd ein nodau Amrywiaeth, Tegwch a Chynhwysiant.

Mae ein ystafelloedd newyddion yn brysur ac yn amgylchedd lle byddwch yn gweithio o dan bwysau, gan gynnwys cynhyrchu newyddion byw, lle mae’n aml yn angenrheidiol i wneud penderfyniadau sydyn dan bwysau. Rydym hefyd angen pobol sy’n gallu gweithio ar ei liwt ei hun.

Mi fyddwn ni angen profi’r gallu hyn yn ystod y cyfweliad i ddeall sut y bydd ymgeiswyr yn ymateb wrth weithio o dan bwysau. Mae’n hanfodol i’r rôl. Byddwn yn ystyried unrhyw gais am addasiadau rhesymol fel rhan o’r broses gyfweld, er enghraifft rhannu themâu bras os yw’r cais yn gysylltiedig â chyflwr niwrowahaniaeth, wrth sicrhau ein bod dal yn medru profi gallu ymgeisydd i weithredu mewn amgylchedd ystafell newyddion.

Yn ITV rydym yn gwerthfawrogi'r defnydd o dechnoleg wrth ymchwilio ar gyfer eich cais. Ry’n ni’n deall bod AI, gan gynnwys ChatGPT, yn gallu bod yn ddefnyddiol. Serch hyn, ry’n ni’n gwerthfawrogi gwreiddioldeb ac yn disgwyl i ymgeiswyr arddangos eu syniadau a’u profiadau eu hunain. Bydd ceisiadau sy’n ymddangos fel petaent wedi cael eu copïo yn uniongyrchol o gynnwys wedi ei greu gan AI, yn gallu cael eu gwrthod. Ry’n ni’n credu mewn proses teg a thryloyw wrth asesu ac mae cael blas o’ch gwir gymeriad chi yn hanfodol i lwyddo.

Dyddiad Cau: 27/07/25

Nodwch bod y cyfnod rhybudd i’r rôl yn 2 fis.

ITV is for everyone.

What is the magic of ITV?

It starts with a simple love of television. Watching it, creating it, talking about it. Whether it’s daytime or primetime, for downtime or anytime.

We’re inspired by our audiences. Who helps shape what we make. Standing shoulder to shoulder with them. Because what matters to them, matters to us.
