About Matt
Local, experienced and easy to talk to.
I’m Matt Hallows, the person behind On Hand. I have over 12 years’ frontline experience assessing, reviewing and commissioning support solutions for adults with a wide range of mental and physical health needs.
That experience shapes how I communicate, notice potential risks and treat each person with dignity. On Hand is a practical support service—not a care agency—so you always know exactly what I can and cannot help with.
DBS checked and fully insured.
“One familiar person, focused on the things that make the biggest difference at home.”
Clear and safe
Practical support, with clear boundaries.
On Hand does not provide personal or intimate care, medication administration, clinical services, financial management or specialist regulated trade work.
I will only undertake work that is safe, within my competence and covered by the business’s agreed insurance.
