Due to the complex needs of our residents and our safeguarding responsibilities, we are unable to employ anyone under the age of 18.

Chaseley first opened its doors in 1946, welcoming military personnel with spinal and brain injuries returning from World War II. At a time when specialist rehabilitation was barely existent, Chaseley was shaped by the thinking of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, whose work transformed care for people with neurological and spinal injuries. His belief was simple:

“Disability should never define the limits of a person’s life.”

Eighty years on, Chaseley continues that legacy. As an independent charitable organisation, we operate a 55-bed nursing home in Eastbourne, providing long-term nursing and rehabilitation care for adults aged 18 and above with complex neurological conditions — including acquired and traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, and progressive conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Motor Neurone Disease, and Parkinson’s.

At Chaseley, care is about more than medical need. It’s about helping people live full, active lives — with dignity, choice, and a genuine sense of home.
