Day-to-day operating brief
What Lifestyle Coordinator work looks like in practice
A lifestyle coordinator develops resident-led opportunities for social connection, identity and wellbeing across everyday life, not just a calendar of entertainment. The contract should cover community partners, volunteers, personal histories, consent, budgets and inclusive planning for residents with different communication or mobility needs.
Responsibilities reflected in the contract
Learn and record residents' interests, relationships and lifestyle preferences appropriately.
Develop individual and shared opportunities for connection and participation.
Build safe links with community, cultural and faith organisations.
Coordinate volunteers and visitors under the home's checks and supervision.
Manage programme resources and spending within delegated limits.
Gather resident feedback and adapt plans without overriding care decisions.
A realistic working scenario
Several residents ask to restart a faith-community visit while one person prefers private observance. The coordinator records each choice, checks transport and support with the care team and arranges distinct options rather than treating the group request as universal consent.

How is a lifestyle coordinator different from an activities coordinator?
The role may have a broader focus on identity, relationships and everyday wellbeing. The contract should reflect the home's actual division of responsibility rather than rely on the title.
Can volunteers receive resident information?
Only the minimum information authorised for their role, with clear supervision and confidentiality arrangements.
Can life-history information be shared with volunteers?
Only the minimum authorised information needed for their supervised role, respecting the resident's choices and the home's privacy arrangements.
May the coordinator arrange a new community partnership?
They can develop proposals, while safeguarding checks, access, information sharing, costs and formal commitments should receive the employer's required approval.
How should different faith or cultural preferences be supported?
Ask and record individual choices, develop suitable options and avoid assuming that residents with a shared background want the same practice or participation.
Can residents help decide the lifestyle budget?
Their views can and should inform priorities, while spending remains subject to the home's documented authority, receipts and procurement controls.
What if an outing conflicts with a resident's care information?
Pause the commitment and coordinate with the care team so current mobility, support, transport and emergency needs can be addressed with the resident.
May the Lifestyle Coordinator publish resident stories online?
Only where the specific material and channel are covered by valid permission and the home's privacy process; sharing a history for care does not authorise publicity.
