Candidate Testimonials

Ella has so much energy and is so passionate about the job she does. Ella made me feel very relaxed and positive from the moment I met her. Ella has been supportive throughout my short time with New Directions Education. After having a difficult time in previous employment, I came to New Directions with very little confidence. The placements Ella has given me have restored my faith in human nature and also my love of working with children again.

Sam Evans, Teaching Assistant, Denbighshire

Ella has been very kind, responsive, supportive and approachable. I have enjoyed all the work I have done. I have loved working with children again and especially nursery age. I am grateful to New Directions Education for getting me back into working in a way that fits with my family life. It has been great to use the skills I have. I would highly recommend New Directions!

Judith Tipney-Hicks, Teaching Assistant, Denbighshire

Ella is a fantastic point of contact. She is very approachable and has made me feel very comfortable to contact her with any queries of questions I may have. Ella is very professional and efficient in her work and I always feel confident that if I have any problems or enquiries she will sort them asap. I love being able to work flexible hours and also having the opportunity to work in different settings which helps to find the best fit for you. I would highly recommend New Directions Education.

Jade Foxx, Teaching Assistant, Denbighshire

My relationship with my Account Manager Dan is great. He is always there on the end of the phone to answer any query I have. He is always happy to help. He lets me know what I am working in advance as much as possible, which is a great advantage. Dan is very approachable and is a pleasure to speak to about anything that is troubling me regarding my work.

My highlight of working with New Directions Education is landing a full time teaching role teaching my subject. As a new Teacher, I was finding it difficult to find a job teaching my own subject. New Directions played a big part in helping me secure that role. I am very grateful to Dan and the rest of the team at New Directions for all the hard work that they do. I look forward to what the next school year brings. Thank you New Directions!

Amelia, my Account Manager, is incredibly caring, supportive and understanding that we all have to balance our lives. She has always worked in my best interests. I have worked with Amelia for the last two years as an LSA and I am very happy with the way we work together to find the best opportunities

Iryna, LSA, Vale of Glamorgan

Since I registered with New Directions, I´ve been working every day as a Teaching Assistant.

Amelia is my Account Manager and all I have to say is that she is willing to help with whatever I need and always tries to find jobs locally and for long term positions.

I believe New Directions is one of the best agencies in Cardiff!

I have been working with New Directions Education for a number of years now and in recent years in the role of Additional Learning Needs. I have been fortunate to have a long term placement and I’m extremely happy at the school. I know I can always rely on Amelia and the team for support and advice at any point in time – it is readily available. I am looking forward to many years to come as the work is varied and interesting. Amelia recognises my strengths and is able to assign me to appropriate placements. We share an open and honest working relationship, which makes me feel valued and respected .
