Community Integrated Care welcomes new director of complex care 

Community Integrated Care, one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities, has announced the appointment of Carly Jarvis as its new director of complex care. 

This follows the creation of the charity’s Complex Care Business Unit earlier this year, a major step in strengthening its operational structure and advancing its ambitions in this vital area of support. 

Jarvis joins the charity from the National Autistic Society, where she spent more than a decade in senior leadership roles, most recently as assistant director of practice and innovation. 

With almost 20 years of experience in social care, she has led large, multi-site teams and developed outstanding services across a wide range of specialist settings.

Speaking about her appointment, she said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Community Integrated Care, a charity whose commitment to person-centred care aligns with my values.

“I’m especially inspired by our charity’s innovative approach to empowering people to live full, meaningful lives – which makes the opportunity to lead and shape complex care services even more exciting.

“I’m looking forward to getting started and driving excellence alongside our fantastic, passionate colleagues.” 

Alongside Carly’s appointment, Community Integrated Care has welcomed a number of new leaders who will play a key role in driving the strategy forward. 

Three heads of complex care have recently joined the charity, each leading delivery across their regions: 

• Nadia Khan – Head of complex care, Region 1, joins from Richmond Fellowship, with extensive expertise in positive behavioural support
• Cairi McKenzie – Head of complex care, Region 2, previously worked for Bild, bringing national experience in workforce development and autism services
• Natalie Martin – Head of complex care, Region 3, has significant leadership experience in PBS across both the NHS and third sector

They are supported by six newly-appointed regional managers for complex care.

Together, this team will ensure consistent, high-quality complex care delivery across the country – shaping services that help people live their best lives. 

Karen Sheridan, chief operating officer, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Carly and our new leadership team to Community Integrated Care.

“Our work in complex care is already making a difference and with this team in place, we’re confident we can continue to grow, innovate, and lead the way in delivering outstanding specialist support.”
