Born in Montserrat, Arnold trained as a nurse. In 1998 she was elected to Islington London Borough Council as a councillor for Mildmay Ward. When the first elections to the London Assembly were held in May 2000 she was on the Labour Party list for "London-wide" seats: she was fourth on the party list but Labour were only entitled to three seats.

At the second Assembly election in 2004 Arnold was elected as member for the North East constituency and has held the seat at each subsequent election. She was Chair of the assembly in 2008-2009.
