We are seeking an exceptional candidate to join the Art Department of Francis Holland Regent’s Park in September 2024.

Many girls progress to further education in Art at leading colleges of Art and universities. The Art Department comprises the Head of Department and three other teachers, two of whom are part-time. There are also two part-time Art Technicians who ensure the department has technical assistance five days a week.
