Outreach Services
Outreach Services for Persons with Disabilities
At Barróg Healthcare, our Disability Outreach Services are built on the belief that every individual—regardless of age or ability—deserves the opportunity to lead a fulfilling, independent, and inclusive life.
We provide tailored, person-centred support to children, young people, and adults with a range of physical, learning, and developmental disabilities. Our outreach team works within the community, delivering support that extends beyond traditional care settings and into everyday environments where people live, learn, work, and socialise.
Whether assisting with daily living skills, promoting independence, accessing education or employment, or supporting involvement in social and recreational activities, our focus is always on empowering individuals to achieve their goals, participate fully in their communities, and enjoy meaningful connections.
With a compassionate, flexible, and inclusive approach, Barróg Healthcare Disability Outreach Services help bridge the gap between support needs and community participation—ensuring the people we support are not only cared for, but truly seen, heard, and valued.

What Is Involved in Disability Outreach Services?
Barróg Healthcare’s Disability Outreach Services are designed to provide flexible, person-centred support to children, young people, and adults living with physical, learning, sensory, or developmental disabilities. Our outreach approach focuses on supporting individuals within their own homes and local communities, promoting independence, inclusion, and quality of life.
Personalised Support Planning
Each individual receives a tailored support plan based on their unique needs, goals, strengths, and preferences. We work closely with the person, their family, and professionals to ensure all support is person-centred, meaningful, and responsive.
Community-Based Support
Support is delivered in real-life settings—at home, in school or college, at work placements, or out in the community. This helps individuals develop practical skills in familiar environments and stay connected to local life.
Daily Living and Life Skills
We support individuals to build independence through everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, travel training, money management, personal care, and communication. Our goal is to enable people to live as independently as possible.
Educational and Employment Support
For individuals in education or those seeking employment, we provide guidance and hands-on support to access learning opportunities, build vocational skills, attend appointments, and explore career or training pathways.
Social and Recreational Engagement
Our outreach team helps individuals access inclusive social, cultural, and recreational activities—including clubs, sports, events, and peer groups—reducing isolation and promoting wellbeing through connection and fun.
Emotional and Behavioural Support
We support people to manage emotions, build resilience, and develop positive routines and coping strategies. Our staff are trained in supporting in meeting their needs , ensuring support is always respectful and empowering.
Transition Support
Barróg Healthcare provides specialist outreach during times of change, such as moving from school to adult services or from supported living to greater independence. We ensure transitions are well-planned, supported, and centred on the individual’s voice.
Family and Carer Collaboration
We work in partnership with families and carers to ensure a holistic approach to care. We recognise the vital role families play and provide advice, support, and respite where needed.

I have worked in many different healthcare sectors and it’s the first place that I’ve been treated like family. This company is all about learning and expanding your knowledge as your support. My experience has been that I’ve had such a supportive manager who supported me in progressing in my role and learning more about the sector.
