Head of Reading/Librarian

Arnold House was founded in 1905 in St John’s Wood. It is an independent preparatory school located in London, NW8, for boys from 3 to 13, and a member of IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools). In our recent EQI ISI inspection it was reported that pupils' academic achievement and personal development are both excellent.

We seek an enthusiastic and committed Head of Reading/Librarian (working part time 3 or 4 days per week during term time) to inspire boys throughout the school to enjoy reading and develop a regular 'reading habit'. The Head of Reading/Librarian will work closely with the Head of English and Head of Pre-Prep to develop a whole-school reading strategy as well as manage the two libraries, keeping them relevant and attractive to a wide range of reading interests, ages and abilities.

We offer a competitive salary and pension, enthusiastic and well-behaved pupils, a good proportion of non-contact time and free lunches during term time. Our school is known for its family ethos and being a great place to work. We are committed to promoting and protecting the mental and physical health of all our staff.
