Candidate Testimonials

My Account Manager is a very friendly and reliable contact. She has been approachable, supportive and frequent with her contact and always willing to help with any queries when they arise. An excellent and commendable person. I am very fortunate to have been offered a significant amount of work, adding variety to my experience. I have managed to work with a range of needs within a vast number of schools, which has improved my confidence in the long run. The highlight of working for New Directions has been the availability and flexibility of work that they offer. I really appreciate the support from all staff at New Directions. As this is my first official job in this sector I am deeply pleased with the amount of guidance I have received. I have been awarded with the pleasure of working with different teaching staff closely, with whom I hope to maintain relationships with in the future.

She always wishes me a good weekend and is very friendly, but professional.The highlights of working for New Directions are; regular working opportunities when I want them and being able to take holidays when I want.

Denise, Level 3, Crosskeys

I have worked with New Directions Education for almost two months and everyone that I have had contact with has been very professional but with such a friendly, warm attitude. I am quite new to the agency, but I have found my Account Manager to be very supportive and caring. I have always felt important to her and I know that I can contact her at any time for questions I need answering.  I have really enjoyed working for New Directions so far and look forward to continuing that relationship. My highlight has most definitely been working at a local Primary School to me, it has been an absolute joy to work there. The staff and children are amazing and I love my job so much. I wish I had done this years ago. I would definitely recommend New Directions Education as from my first initial contact to today they have been brilliant. They have been caring, have great communication and are all so friendly. They put you at ease and I can honestly say that everyone I have spoken to there has been lovely.

The communication from New Directions Education is good and I like the way that I can check and add to my availability online. Also, contact with my Account Manager has been very good as she is always on hand if I have any questions. The highlight for me so far has been the speed in which New Directions have found me work and that I have already been able to gain experience of working with children with Additional Learning Needs.
