They will support community mental health teams with the completion of Dialog and Dialog +, to ensure that care plans are person-centred and in-line with people’s recovery goals.
The role will includebuilding positive relationships with Black service users and carers, in groups and one to one. The role will also involve supporting staff to collaboratively co-produce care plans with Black service users and their carers, through the completion of Dialog + conversations.

DIALOG+ peer support workers will help create person centred and meaningful care plans with a particular focus on advice on access to treatment and mental health support (e.g., psychological therapies, housing, employment), with support and guidance from the Trust mental health teams and PCREF Croydon Community Independent Advisory Group (IAG).
