Gwaith/Cartref (English: Home/Work) is a Welsh language television series that in set in the comprehensive school of Bro Taf, broadcast on S4C. The show was set in the Welsh valley Rhondda Cynon Taf from series one until the end of series five, and Rhymney Valley from the beginning of series six until the end of the show in series nine. The first episode was broadcast on S4C on 18 September 2011 and the final episode on 12 April 2018. Gwaith/Cartref ran for 90 episodes and almost 7 years. In 2019, the first three series were made available on S4C Clic.

It was the third new drama series to appear on S4C for 2011, next to Alys and Porthpenwaig. It follows the professional and personal lives of a group of teachers working at a Welsh language comprehensive school, dealing with a number of issues during and after the school day. The first half of each episode centres on the work-side, the second half on the home-side of the storyline. Actress Rhian Blythe won a BAFTA Cymru Best Actress award for her role in the 2014 series of the show. Siw Hughes was nominated for the same award.[1]

Series 6, featuring mostly all new characters at a new school, started broadcast on 20 January 2016,[2] with Series 7, directly continuing the story, starting on 7 September 2016.[3] Series 8 was broadcast from 11 January 2017 to March 2017.[4] Series 9 is broadcast from February to April 2018, returning to the show's original runtime of hour-long episodes after several series of half-hour episodes.
