Hyd at 4 diwrnod y mis

Ofcom yw’r rheoleiddiwr ar gyfer diwydiannau cyfathrebiadau’r Deyrnas Unedig (y DU), gyda chyfrifoldebau ar draws teledu, radio, fideo ar-alw, telegyfathrebiadau, cyfathrebiadau di-wifr, a gwasanaethau post. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys cyfrifoldeb dros oruchwylio darllediadau teledu a radio ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig, gan gynnwys rheoleiddio’r BBC. Mae Ofcom hefyd yn gyfrifol am reoleiddio llwyfannau rhannu fideos yn y DU. Mae hyn yn golygu y bydd angen i’r gwasanaethau hyn gael mesurau ar waith i ddiogelu pobl ifanc rhag cynnwys a allai fod yn niweidiol, ac i sicrhau bod pob defnyddiwr yn cael ei ddiogelu rhag iaith casineb a chynnwys anghyfreithlon. Mae hwn yn gam cyntaf pwysig tuag at ddiogelu pobl rhag cynnwys niweidiol ar-lein cyn i Ofcom ysgwyddo ei ddyletswyddau ehangach i reoleiddio diogelwch ar-lein.

Pwrpas y swydd

Mae Ofcom wedi bod yn darparu amddiffyniad a sicrwydd i gynulleidfaoedd ar draws teledu, radio a fideo ar-alw ers blynyddoedd lawer. Fodd bynnag, mae’r materion hyn wedi’u gosod fwyfwy o fewn cyd-destun ehangach newidiadau mewn marchnadoedd cyfathrebu, ac yn enwedig rôl y rhyngrwyd a’r cyfryngau digidol.

Wrth i gynulleidfaoedd fynd ar-lein fwy a mwy, rhan allweddol o’n gwaith yw ystyried yr heriau y mae hyn yn eu hachosi i wylwyr a gwrandawyr ac i’r sectorau rydym yn eu rheoleiddio.

Up to 4 days per month

Ofcom is the regulator for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across television, radio, video-on-demand, telecommunications, wireless communications and postal services. These include responsibility for overseeing television and radio broadcasting throughout the United Kingdom, including regulating the BBC. Ofcom is also now responsible for regulating UK-based video sharing platforms. This means that these services will need to have in place measures to protect young people from potentially harmful content, and to ensure that all users are protected from hate speech and illegal content. This is an important first step towards protecting people from harmful content online before Ofcom takes on its wider duties to regulate online safety.

Purpose of the role:

Ofcom has been providing protection and assurance for audiences across television, radio and video-on-demand for many years. Increasingly however, these issues are set within the wider context of changes in communications markets, and particularly the role of the internet and digital media.

As audiences increasingly move online a key part of our work is to consider the challenges this poses for viewers and listeners and for the sectors that we regulate. Ofcom’s Content Board plays a key role in delivering this work and in helping shape future approaches to regulation. This is an exciting time to join us and help shape policy in a fast-changing digital world.

The Content Board is a committee of Ofcom’s Main Board and is charged with understanding, analysing and championing the voices and interest of the viewer, the listener and citizen. It examines issues where the citizen interest extends beyond the consumer interest, with a focus on those aspects of the public interest which competition and market forces do not reach.

The majority of Content Board Members are part-time and drawn from diverse backgrounds across the UK. We want to attract a wide range of applicants to provide a good balance of skills and relevant sector experience on the Content Board in order to create a diversity of perspective and independence of thought and decision-making

Essential Skills and Knowledge:

We’re seeking to recruit one new non-executive member for Wales to join the Content Board. We’re seeking candidates who are capable of representing the interests and opinions of people living in Wales and who have:

  • the ability to understand the business and economic principles underpinning the broadcast sector in the digital environment;
  • digital or new media experience, with an appreciation of the fast-changing nature of these sectors and the challenges they can pose;
  • a strong understanding of the principles and practice of content regulation, preferably gained from the industry side;
  • an excellent understanding of broadcasting policy and regulatory issues, the UK media policy landscape and relevant international context;
  • an understanding of the needs of consumers and citizens, and an ability to work well with colleagues from the UK’s Nations on policy and consumer issues;
  • sound judgement and decision-making to ensure successful delivery in a highly complex organisation;
  • strong communication skills to make an effective contribution to the discussions of a high-level public body;
  • personal integrity of a high order; demonstrable understanding of Ofcom’s need to make independent judgements under pressure; and
  • a track record of good editorial judgement and decision-making at a senior level in broadcasting is desirable.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable

Further information:

The time commitment is four days a month, including attending approximately six formal meetings a year of the full Content Board.

To apply and be considered for interview stage, your application must include a CV and covering letter. Your covering letter must give evidence of how you successfully meet the key competencies (listed above). Applications can be provided in English or Welsh and should be sent to [email protected] by 23.00pm on Sunday 24 October 2021.
