‘I have used New Directions for just over two terms, and I have found the service to be extremely worthwhile. I first came across New Directions through word-of-mouth from other Head Teachers. I was rather sceptical at first and worried about how the whole system of using an agency worked.
I received a visit to the school from a New Directions Account Manager and from the moment I met her I realised that she was a thoroughly professional individual who was passionate about the work she does, as well as being a person who puts the client interests first.
As a point of contact for me as a Head Teacher, when looking for a member of supply staff I know that she will act promptly and will always provide the highest level of service required.
Furthermore, I am able to ask for specific needs for when I need supply cover eg Welsh speaker, experience in teaching music and such like.
In the past, I used to spend hours trawling through supply lists trying to find the right supply cover. This was often frustrating and often unsuccessful. New Directions have taken this strain from my shoulders and I can now concentrate on the more important matters of improving my school.
As a result of her excellent efforts I am more than willing to recommend New Directions to colleagues, assuring them that they will be provided with the very best of service’

I have been using New Directions as a part of my supply strategy since January 2012 and have found them to be both professional and reliable at all times. Using New Directions has saved me not only many hours of phone calls but worry and stress dealing with last minutes sickness cover. They work hard to match our exact requirements for the staff we need and where possible send the same staff back to us that we have used before. To be able to make one phone call between 7.00am in the morning to 9.00pm at night and know your supply will be sorted out is just great. I would recommend their service without hesitation.

Ysgol Y Waun have been registered with the New Directions agency since January 2012, the agency have supplied the school with Level 2 and Level 4 Teaching Assistants. During this time we have had several members of staff off on long term sickness and there have also been many short term sickness absences. I have found our Account Manager to be very polite and accommodating. He has been able to supply us with a TA often at very short notice. I have been impressed with his manner and his helpfulness and have found the service that he and the agency provide invaluable.

I am a candidate at the Wrexham branch of New Directions Education. Over the last academic year, my Account Manager has been very friendly, approachable and supportive in her role. She has found me regular work and repeat bookings throughout the year.
My Account Manager has good relationships with the schools she looks after. She frequently reports back to me with feedback from the schools I have worked within, and equally asks me for my feedback on the school. This has helped me gain confidence in my work.

We would like to say how excellent the service has been to our school from New Directions over the past few years. You always go the extra mile to provide a personal service, and the supply staff you provide are of the highest quality.
I know that New Directions will always meet our needs, with professionalism, with no task being too small.
I would like to thank the staff for their help. It is encouraging when they recognise your voice on the telephone and it shows how much customers are valued.

My Account Manager is very enthusiastic and is always keen to find candidates work. She always comes up with new work when assignments are coming to an end. She keeps in touch with everybody, and always lets us know if there are any issues or queries with pay or bookings.
My Account Manager is a pleasure to speak to on the other end of a phone.
