As an NQT it can be difficult to find yourself a full time position or even get supply from-time-to time. But fortunately for myself I found New Directions Supply. Luckily for myself within a week of signing with the company I found myself beginning my journey as a Supply teacher.
Within a matter of weeks I found that I had made plenty of connections with a wide variety of schools who luckily for myself kept asking myself to go back and do supply in their schools. Because I had these strong connections and impressed while at these schools I got recommended for a full time position after the first term. This would not have been possible if not for the support and commitment of New Directions.
My point of contact within the Swansea branch of New Directions was Kirsty. From the moment we met I felt at ease and comfortable. Confidence was evident that Kirsty believed that I would receive enough work and create these connections. She was correct.
I cannot emphasise enough how well New Directions helped me develop myself and I have already referred a few friends who have qualified or will be qualifying as teachers to go to New Directions

The agency has been a great support throughout my first 2 years of qualifying as a teacher, I have gained confidence and have experienced the best teaching practices I could possibly imagine through the help of new directions, I am so happy that I decided to join your agency through recommendations and I stuck with you and only your agency for the 2 years until I found myself a permanent position.
I will be forever grateful that I had the experience of working alongside my account manager as she is very professional and her work ethic is phenomenal. My account manager was always there as a helping hand and I felt completely at ease to reach out to her if I ever needed any support.
I am very grateful to you as an agency for all the work you have provided, and also this new experience of a permanent position.
Thank you

When I first began working at New Directions I was very nervous and apprehensive, however those feelings soon disappeared when I met my Account Manager, She made me feel very at ease.
My Account Manager is so very efficient when it comes to organising my bookings and choosing the best placement that is suited to me. She’s very understanding with regards to what I can and cannot do and is also very supportive of my aspirations for the future.
She has made my time at the agency an absolute breeze and wouldn’t want to be looked after by anyone else 🙂
Thanks you!

I’ve worked for New Directions for just over a year and am thoroughly satisfied with my job. At first, I was worried that working for an agency might not provide me with enough work but fortunately this has not been the case. My Account Manager has been fantastic and found me work to accommodate my changing circumstances. As an Account Manager, she is approachable whilst professional and thorough in her work. Furthermore, she listened to employee’s requests and was proactive in ensuring specific training was available to us.
I feel privileged to have such a lovely Account Manager and I am grateful for the opportunities that working for New Directions has given me.

As one of the team that my Account Manager is coordinator for I would like to say that I have always found her extremely professional and efficient whilst also being very friendly and patient, especially with any whims or problems that cause me to turn down some jobs.
She is also excellent at keeping me informed about any important news such as training days or changes in legislation that I need to know about and goes to the trouble of getting in touch a few times about them which is handy when you forget to follow up on the information.
I have found my Account Manager to be an excellent coordinator who does everything she can to help me do my job to the best of my abilities.
