About Us

The Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship is one of the four Loyal Societies supported by His Majesty The King and has been promoting friendship and hospitality across Commonwealth nations since 1901. We remain committed to our founding belief that education, in its broadest sense, is the foundation of human development.

Currently, we are proud to offer Commonwealth students the opportunity to become part of a Commonwealth family, whose values are decency, respect for others, understanding, tolerance, integrity and partnership. 

One of our key priorities is to provide a vibrant student house for young Commonwealth students to live in when attending a university or college in London, to make lifelong friends and to learn from each other in a safe and secure environment. The Victoria League Student House is an affordable 'home away from home' whilst studying in London.

About the Role

As General Manager, you will play a central role in leading and developing the work of The Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship, raising its profile and ensuring its long-term sustainability. You will oversee the overall management of the charity, alongside the effective operation of the Victoria League Student House.

This is a broad and hands-on leadership position, combining strategic development with day-to-day operational oversight. You will drive key fundraising initiatives and business development opportunities, as well as support the House Manager and their team, and the Membership and Administration Officer.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and growth of the charity
  • Drive fundraising and build partnerships
  • Oversee the day-to-day operations of the Student House
  • Support and manage staff
  • Ensure effective financial management and governance
  • Promote the charity through events, communications, and stakeholder engagement
  • Oversee property management and health and safety for the Student House.

Private accommodation at Student House may be available for a reduced salary and on call duties.
