Liverpool

During my time working with New Directions I have been impressed with all of my Account Managers.  They have always put me forward for positions within my specialism and secured me a long term at a nursery which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I have a friend who is moving to Liverpool from Spain and I’ve recommended her choosing New Directions to work as  I consider it as outstanding agency.

I heard about New Directions from another teacher, a friend of mine who works for ND, she provided me with the telephone 

number and so I called. From that moment everything was really easy, Laura was really friendly and helpful,

and she told me everything I needed to know about working as a supply teacher (first time supply teacher here).

Not only that, there was a problem with one of my references and she went out of her way to try and help me and make things smooth so I could start working.

 

Since I have been with New Directions I had the chance to meet a few other people from The Liverpool branch, and I must

say that everyone’s really polite, friendly and they’re always on top of everything to make your life easier.

Another employee, Kerry, put me in contact with a Special Needs school (also a first time), and she made sure

that I was very well informed and took care of all the details in my new placement.

 

In general, I have been working at least 4 days per week since I started with New Directions, so all I have to say about 

this company are good things.

 

If I had to sum up ND in 3 words, they’d probably be Helpful, Proffesional, and competent.

From the quick, easy and efficient registration process to the warm, friendly and professional service I have found working for New Directions to be well organised and of mutual interest. I have really enjoyed my time at the schools I have been placed at and regularly receive work. I have also been able to uptake continued professional development as New Directions have provided relevant training in order for me to better my skills. I would not hesitate to recommend New Directions.

Billie, Primary Teacher

Since working for New Directions I have built a great relationship with all the girls, they always work with me when it comes to my needs as far as my family, ensuring I can work around childcare and finding me long term part time roles to suit my family life. I have previously worked with other agencies in the past and nothing compares to New Directions as far as communication and feedback goes, I would highly recommend  this company.

Rachel, Teaching Assistant

I have been registered with several agencies in the last few years and hardly got any work, just the odd day here and there. Since I registered with New Directions I started at a long term placement almost straight away.

If I have a query or need help with anything my consultant Kerry is always happy to help and I am always greeted in a friendly and positive manner.

 

Joanne -Teaching Assistant, Liverpool

After moving to Liverpool from Ireland I joined New Directions and with the help of the girls in the office I got my references, DBS and CV up to date. Pretty soon after all this was sorted out I was placed in schools for work. I gained experience in primary, secondary and ALN schools. As I am going on to complete a PGCE in Mathematics in September all of this experience will be of benefit to me. After time I was getting work in two or three different schools which was good as I was able to get known by staff and students and it provided continuity for both students and staff. I was always able to get in contact with the office via phone or by email and the online portal was great for checking bookings and payslips each week. The girls kept in contact after days work in new school and placed me in schools like these going forward.

 

Ann-Marie, Teaching Assistant, Liverpool

I heard about New Directions from a supply teacher when I was on my first fixed term contract at a primary school in Ceredigion, West Wales.  The registration process was straight forward and simple. I emailed my first agent and went for an interview the following week. My time with New Directions has been great and very successful since moving to Liverpool. The team have helped me find work by keeping me updated on the phone about schools who would like me to work for them. I now have many local schools who request me and am currently working at a school on a long-term assignment. I have often been put forward for roles at schools on account of how pleased ND are with my work and to me New Directions are Reliable, flexible and interactive.

Kieren, Teaching Assistant, Liverpool

I heard about New Directions from someone who was registered with you and recommended me to do likewise.

It was easy to register.

My experience with New Directions has been good and completely down to my account manager, Emma.

Emma was very proactive in finding me work which resulted in a 7 month placement at Holy Family.
