Fabiana joined Social Finance in 2025 as an IPS Grow Regional Lead in London.

As part of her role, she works closely with IPS services, providing practical, tailored support to help teams strengthen service delivery. Fabiana also leads IPS Fidelity Reviews, using them as collaborative improvement tools to identify strengths and develop action plans that enable services to support more people with SMI or substance misuse into paid work.

Alongside service support, she works with commissioners, NHS partners, and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) to create the conditions for high-quality IPS to thrive.
