New Directions Education are a fantastic agency to work for, I have been working with them since September 2015. I have been given work in schools all year round including several long term placements, as well as having the flexibility to turn some down, which is ideal. My account manager is genuinely the loveliest supervisor I have ever had, and she has continually supported me and found me work throughout the year, and helped me with any problems I have had along the way. She is an absolute gem and I don’t know what I would do without her. The online system New Directions has for logging timesheets and holidays is really easy to use and comes in really handy for planning your work schedule. I don’t think there is a better agency out there.

I have worked with New Directions for nearly 2 years. I find my Account Manager really friendly and I am able to talk to him if I have a problem. He knows that I need work close by or need a day or more notice if it isn’t close enough to get a lift. If I’m in a new school, my Account Manager always rings to see If I enjoyed it and even if I have long term work, he rings to see if I’m still enjoying the school.

My favourite aspect of working with New Directions is that I’m able to pick what days I want to work and also able to book any time off if needed.

I have been with New Directions for a year now, since being with them I have been very fortunate in receiving long term placements.

My Account Manager is always on hand if needed and always has excellent communication. She knows what kind of work I am after and the distance I would be prepared to travel. The past few months she has been helping me and giving me information about colleges that I can complete my training with. My Account Manager has also been amazing at finding me a long term placement for this September so thanks to her.

The company overall are so friendly and nothing is ever a problem. I have also been offered and able to attend many courses through the company that have been of benefit. As a company they have enabled me to gain valuable experience within the different education sectors.

I would highly recommend New Directions.

The communication with New Directions is excellent, I have had lots of work with them as an agency and my Account Manager is always in contact with me and at the end of the phone if I need him.

The highlight of working with New Directions is that they give me some lovely schools to work in.

My Account Manager is always very helpful when I telephone the office. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in my work requirements.  If my Account Manager can help in any aspect of your job she most certainly will. It’s good to know that your Senior Account Manager is looking out for you.

My Account Manager has always been very supportive and cooperative. Every week I have been contacted with a call or txt to be updated on work information.

New Directions from day one have been very professional, I have been working with them for a year and always been provided with day-to-day work as well as long term contracts. There are many different training courses available to develop relevant skills and grow as a professional, making me more attractive for future assignments. I feel very privileged to be working with such an astounding organisation.

Danny, Level 2, Caerphilly

I am currently working for New Directions and have been for just over a year. I have always been given regular day to day work when not in long term placement. My Account Manager is very reliable and easily contactable and always keeps me updated whether by phone call, text or email with other new work opportunities if not already in a long term placement. The communication between my Account Manager and I is very good and if there is ever a problem, she is always there to help.

The highlight of working with New Directions has been the long term placements and gaining new work opportunities.

Demi, Level 3, Caerphilly

I have been with New Directions for almost 2 years now. Everyone at New Directions have been nothing but helpful from the day I joined. I have had a long term position in a Primary School that I love working at. My Account Manager is in contact with me regularly and is always supportive. New Directions are very reliable and I’m very happy that I joined. The highlight to date, is the term position I’m currently fulfilling.
