Candidate Testimonials

In late 2011 I moved from London to the Wirral, in hopes of continuing my work in disability support. I applied online for a position with New Directions, and after a successful interview, I was allocated as my consultant. From the very beginning she has always done her best to provide me with shifts that fit around my other job, but which are also easily accessible as I don’t have a car. My Account Manager always displays an extremely friendly demeanour, and always endeavours to address any problems or queries I have quickly. She also always provides me with any feedback she receives from the workplace, and has been a brilliant source of support.

Abby, Supply Staff

Since joining New Directions, I have always had the same Account Manager. She is always very polite and helpful and is very keen to find work for me. She also ensures that any positive feedback she gets from the school about me is passed on to me and that is always very encouraging, especially as I am an NQT. She is enthusiastic when offering work but does not mind if it is turned down for one reason or another. Additionally, I wouldn’t hesitate to speak to my Account Manager if I had a problem with a placement as I know she would be very supportive.

Tanya, NQT

Over the two years I have been with New Directions I have greatly appreciated their high level of service. They have been professional, efficient and reliable with all my placements, and the staff are always helpful and obliging when dealing with any queries put to them.

Maria, Supply Staff

New directions have been very good in getting me short term supply work since January. I worked at one school on the Wirral for two weeks, this then helped me to get a short-term contract at that school allowing me to complete one term of my NQT year. My Account Manager is very helpful and dedicated and always finds me regular work in local schools. She always gives me feedback and gives me opportunities to go on courses to extend my CPD. Overall New Directions is an excellent agency to work for as they are loyal, accomadating and flexible and have helped me to get recognised at some lovely schools in the area.

I am delighted to work for New Directions and have no hesitation in recommending it to others – as I frequently do! The company is professional, efficient and reliable. Above all, they treat me as an individual with a personal friendly working relationship. New Directions is the only agency I work for – I don’t need to look elsewhere.

Gill, Supply Staff

Since being made redundant from a school I taught in for over 24 years, I decided to try out some supply work. New Directions were recommended to me by a colleague and they made all aspects of getting into this type of work completely easy and stress free. In particular my Account Manager was very approachable and was always willing to go that extra mile to help out if needs be.

New Directions offer a friendly yet professional service that supports supply teachers effectively. Two way contact allows both New Directions and it’s employees to develop a positive working relationship. New Directions staff are considerate, understanding and always available for help and advice.

Phil, Supply Staff

I’ve worked for new directions in liverpool on and off over past three years, as cover and supply. Its a really good company to work for, they make it fun to work. Over the time I’ve been with them they have always done their best to find me work, aslong as you are ready to work, you will get work. If you can’t work a certain day then that’s no problem. It’s a fair and loyal company and they always do their best!
