Candidate Testimonials

Good communication, very reliable and accommodative. I speak with my account manager at least every other week. I appreciate her honesty and openness. She always has plenty of humour and is always the same, never moody. She takes a personal interest and makes you feel that she’s your friend. She always tries to do her best for you.

My highlight of working with New Directions is they are very organised and accommodating.

Elizabeth, Welsh Medium Primary Teacher, Neath Port Talbot

My Account Manager has always been a phone call away, whenever I have needed to speak to her. She has always worked around my needs, and gone the extra mile in arranging jobs around my particular circumstances and requirements. She has always been cheerful, helpful and very approachable.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with New Directions, they have been highly professional in a very down to earth personal manner.

Rupal, Level 2, Caerphilly

My Account Manager is always contactable via phone or e-mail, she is pro active about finding work for me in advance, she makes it easy for me to express how I have felt about places of work and always checks how I have got on in new placements. She regularly checks I haven’t got any issues and will help work around any commitments I have. My highlight of working with New Directions is consistent communication meaning I have been able to maintain a full working schedule.

I would recommend New Directions. It has been a pleasure to work with New Directions for the last two years.  I always hear school staff and other candidates complimenting the company.

Briony, Primary Teacher, Neath Port Talbot

I have been working with New Directions for the last 2 years and have developed a good working relationship with my account manager who has given me plenty of work. She replies to texts and emails efficiently and is always friendly. My highlight of working for New Directions is the ability of using my CV creatively. New Directions should continue offering roles appropriate to candidate’s CV, as this year I started work in a college library which was never a consideration before. I would recommend working for New Directions.

Gerrard, Further Education, Cardiff

I want to say how amazing my Account Manager has been for the past 3 years. She always tries to find me work, always sends me back to schools I like and keeps my preferences in mind. I am so grateful for each long term placement that she has offered me. I spent two years in one placement, which helped me gain a load of new experiences and build new and amazing friendships – it also led to 3 wedding invites! My Account Manager has been fab and honestly I can not thank her enough for how friendly her and the rest of the ALN team have been. I always recommend my Account Manager whenever I can.
