Introduction
Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports (SCIO) (the ‘Firhill Youth Project’) is a registered charity which aims to positively impact lives in the North Glasgow community through the promotion of a range of accessible, affordable, and sustainable opportunities for local young people (and on occasion the wider community) to participate, coach, or volunteer in rowing and explore other physical activity and sport related opportunities at the Firhill Basin.
The Firhill Youth Project works in partnership with Scottish Rowing, the governing body for the sport of rowing in Scotland, and Glasgow Life/Sport. We also work in partnership with Glasgow Kayak Club & Partick Thistle Football Club as well as a range of local schools and community partners.

Believes that sport can change lives.
Is passionate about widening access to rowing and watersports.
Is confident leading young people from diverse and often underrepresented communities.
Can combine practical coaching delivery with strong organisation and communication skills.
