A Long-Term Managed Service Partnership with Southwark Council

“Alieh has been working remotely (like the rest of us) for the last year but has continued to drive forward some really important work on the social value elements of the contract with Southwark. During the last few months, there have been CV writing and interview techniques sessions run jointly with the Venn group, Southwark Works and Alieh. These have been well attended and well received with great feedback coming into us as an authority.

I have spoken to Alieh about keeping a record of all the positive outcomes for the annual contract review, but even more importantly, this week we saw two people offered exciting roles in the Electoral Services team as we prepare for the mayoral elections in May. These opportunities have come about purely through the social values work undertaken by Alieh.”

“We have been working in partnership with Alieh Yadegari from Comensura since the Autumn of 2019. This has enabled us to have access to a broad range of temporary opportunities for our clients in a number of areas including Admin, IT, Finance and Benefits, Social and Healthcare and HR. This type of employment opportunity is invaluable for our clients and can provide them with high quality work experience to enhance their CV and job prospects. Temp roles can also very often lead to something more permanent. Alieh from Comensura has welcomed us and really supported us in accessing these roles and has also introduced us to other employers in her networks, which in turn has led to positive activities and workshops for our clients. Our partnership with Comensura and other partners is proving to be very rewarding and beneficial for our staff and clients alike.”

“I wanted to provide you with some positive feedback on my recent contact with Alieh Yadegari at Comensura. I have used Comensura before, albeit not for a very long time, so am coming at this from a novice perspective. Alieh could not have been more helpful in assisting me with the process. No question (of which I had a lot) was considered silly and she was very amenable and patient in supporting me with a ‘walk through’ guide on the phone of how to place an order through to a booking. It was a really friendly and positive experience and I would like this to be noted in terms of the council’s contract with Comensura.”

“Comensura has offered excellent support during this recruitment process, from setting me up as a new recruiting manager to negotiating with the third party. Comensura are very approachable and has patiently guided me through each step of the process. I'm very pleased with the outcome.”

“Alieh's personable and professional approach immediately instilled me with a strong sense of trust, which is crucial in any business relationship. She also demonstrated a detailed knowledge of her client's needs, and associated corporate requirements. She continues to give useful practical guidance when dealing with key challenges, and always appears very capable in handling problems diligently.

I would highly recommend Alieh for her professionalism and her pleasant manner. She displays excellent knowledge balanced with sound commercial understanding, providing practical and workable solutions to her client, Southwark Council and her suppliers, including myself.”
