High Peak House, part of Kedleston Group, is a children's home which houses two small 3 bed homes, within the wider grounds of High Peak School, a specialist SEMH provision.

Both of our homes provide a homely, cosy environment for our children, and are set within expansive grounds which provides lots of opportunities for our children to experience the great outdoors and play.

Children and young people from diverse backgrounds come to our home and additionally attend our partnered school, High Peak School, for varying reasons, but often as a result of social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH).

Kedleston Group Limited is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment.

You will be expected to engage in annual safeguarding training, be familiar with key policies and ensure you know the steps to take should you be made aware of a safeguarding or child protection concern.

You will remain vigilant and act swiftly if you have concerns about a child and be an appropriate role model for both children and colleagues at all times.
