lawyer training programme
an extra privilege day to mark the King's birthday

Crown Prosecution Service values

You must demonstrate Crown Prosecution Service values throughout the process. These can be found on our website.

Making offers - from Monday 29 June

You can choose three office location preferences from the list provided. If you’re successful, we aim to offer one of your choices in the first instance. Whilst every effort is made to accommodate your location preferences, the Crown Prosecution Service is a national organisation with differences in operational recovery, vacancy levels and caseloads around the country – which means you may be offered a role in another Crown Prosecution Service area outside your stated preference.

Offers are made in merit order. We may use the lead behaviour making effective decisions to determine merit order where candidates have the same overall score.

If you are successful and already work for the Crown Prosecution Service, we will request a reference from your line manager following your offer.

If you are successful, your CV will be forwarded to the Area team to assist with unit allocation.

Other

This is a full-time post. However, requests for flexible, part-time working and job share are considered – bearing in mind the operational needs of the business.

The Crown Prosecution Service is based in England and Wales. If you’re applying for this role and live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you must let us know when accepting this offer as you need permission to work from your home address if hybrid working is part of your role. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of granting this approval.

The job you are applying for is covered by Article 3(a) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, consequently Section 4(2) of that Act does not apply. For the reasons outlined you are required to disclose all previous convictions and cautions, including spent convictions. Failure to make a full declaration results in the withdrawal of an offer of employment if our checks reveal convictions that have not been disclosed.

Reserve List

If all the posts are filled for your preferred locations, you’re put on a reserve list. You may be approached about an opportunity at a location outside your initial preference. Offers are always made in merit order.

The reserve list expires 6 months after the interviews take place and positions for your first preference can’t be guaranteed.

Timeline

Dates advertised are subject to change and it may not be possible to accommodate alternative requests for interviews and assessment.

Gwerthoedd Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron

Rhaid i chi ddangos gwerthoedd Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron drwy gydol y broses. Mae’r rhain ar gael ar ein gwefan.

Gwneud cynigion - o ddydd Llun 29 Mehefin

Gallwch ddewis tri lleoliad swyddfa o’r rhestr a ddarperir. Os byddwch yn llwyddiannus, ein nod yw cynnig un o'ch dewisiadau ichi yn y lle cyntaf. Er y gwneir pob ymdrech i ddarparu ar gyfer y lleoliadau o’ch dewis, mae Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron yn sefydliad cenedlaethol sydd â gwahaniaethau o ran adferiad gweithredol, lefelau swyddi gwag a llwythi achosion ledled y wlad - sy’n golygu y gallech gael cynnig swydd yn un o ardaloedd eraill Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron y tu allan i’ch dewis.

Mae cynigion yn cael eu gwneud yn nhrefn teilyngdod. Efallai y byddwn yn defnyddio’r prif ymddygiad gwneud penderfyniadau effeithiol i bennu trefn teilyngdod lle mae gan ymgeiswyr yr un sgôr gyffredinol.

Os byddwch yn llwyddiannus a’ch bod eisoes yn gweithio i Wasanaeth Erlyn y Goron, byddwn yn gofyn am eirda gan eich rheolwr llinell ar ôl cynnig swydd ichi.

Os byddwch chi’n llwyddiannus, bydd eich CV yn cael ei anfon ymlaen at dîm yr Ardal i helpu i ddyrannu unedau.

Arall

Mae hon yn swydd amser llawn. Fodd bynnag, mae ceisiadau am weithio hyblyg, gweithio’n rhan-amser a rhannu swydd yn cael eu hystyried - gan gofio anghenion gweithredol y busnes.

Mae Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron wedi’i leoli yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Os ydych chi’n gwneud cais am y swydd hon ac yn byw yn yr Alban neu yng Ngogledd Iwerddon, rhaid i chi roi gwybod i ni wrth dderbyn y cynnig gan fod angen caniatâd arnoch i weithio o’ch cyfeiriad cartref os yw gweithio hybrid yn rhan o’ch swydd. Yn anffodus, nid oes sicrwydd y rhoddir y gymeradwyaeth hon.

Mae'r swydd yr ydych yn gwneud cais amdani yn dod o dan Erthygl 3(a) Gorchymyn Deddf Ailsefydlu Troseddwyr 1974 (Eithriadau) 1975, felly nid yw Adran 4(2) o’r Ddeddf honno’n berthnasol. Am y rhesymau a amlinellir, mae gofyn ichi ddatgelu pob euogfarn a rhybudd blaenorol, gan gynnwys euogfarnau sydd wedi darfod. Bydd methu â gwneud datganiad llawn yn arwain at dynnu’r cynnig o gyflogaeth yn ôl os bydd ein harchwiliadau’n datgelu euogfarnau sydd heb gael eu datgelu.

Rhestr Wrth Gefn

Os bydd yr holl swyddi’n cael eu llenwi ar gyfer y lleoliadau o’ch dewis, cewch eich rhoi ar restr wrth gefn. Efallai y cynigir cyfle ichi mewn lleoliad sydd y tu allan i’ch dewis cyntaf. Mae cynigion bob amser yn cael eu gwneud yn nhrefn teilyngdod.

Mae'r rhestr wrth gefn yn cael ei dileu 6 mis ar ôl cynnal y cyfweliadau ac ni ellir gwarantu swyddi ar gyfer eich dewis cyntaf.

Amserlen

Fe allai'r dyddiadau a hysbysebir newid ac efallai na fydd yn bosibl cynnig dyddiadau gwahanol ichi gael eich cyfweld a’ch asesu.

Sesiynau Hawl i Holi

Rydym yn cynnal sesiwn holi ac ateb ar-lein tra bydd y swydd wag yn fyw. Dyma eich cyfle i ofyn unrhyw gwestiynau am y swydd neu am y broses recriwtio. Gallwch gofrestru ar gyfer y sesiwn hon nawr.
