About us

KPMS has been operating children and young people’s services since 2006, focusing on supporting our residents in recovering from adverse childhood experiences to eventually lead independent and safe lives. We specialise in risk management for young people with complex needs. We believe that children have a better chance of success when they have the skills and resources to navigate the next stages of their lives. Joseph House aims to offer high-quality residential care to children and young people in a nurturing, understanding and safe environment.

3. Responsibility – do you take ownership over your actions, decisions, and reactions?
4. Creativity – are you committed to using imaginative or new ways of working to optimise results for children?
5. Integrity – do you choose the right way, not the easy way?
