Candidate Testimonials

New Directions have made finding a job so easy. I had applied for numerous jobs directly as a teaching assistant before signing up with the agency and was never able to gain a job that way. After a year of long term agency work in a school I have now just been given a contract at the school meaning I will now be employed by the council. Without New Directions I would probably still be applying for jobs online.

Thanks for everything.

Beth, Teaching Assistant, Cardiff

I have been working for New Directions over the last 2 years and have built a great relationship with my contact. My contact is an excellent account manager for me and is always prompt in responding to emails, changes of my timesheet etc. She is very reliable when dealing with any issues and have always provided me with regular work. I would highly recommend working with New Directions as they are professional and an efficient business to deal with.

New Directions Education staff work very hard to get me jobs in schools near my home. I have a young daughter in high school, this works very well for me because I am home on time to be with her after school. I am really grateful to my Account Manager and her team. May this continue in the new year.

The guys at New Directions have made working and finding work stress free, each week I know in advance where I need to be and what is going to be asked of me.

Communication between myself and the guys is fantastic, they make me feel a part of a team and that I’m cared about. It’s been a pleasure working with New Directions this year and I hope to continue my journey in education working with them in the future.

Luke, Cover Supervisor, Cardiff

My Account Manager has always been very friendly, professional, approachable and helpful with any queries I have had. She is in constant contact with me about work and other opportunities such as training through all means – telephone, text and email. She understands my situation of being a full time university student, offering me any available work within my area that fits around my life.

I have worked with New Directions since 2012 and it has helped improve my confidence and my abilities as a Teaching Assistant. I enjoy going to a variety of different schools and making observations about how they individually operate. I am training to become a Teacher, therefore the experiences I have gained through working with New Directions have been essential to achieving my chosen career.

I am grateful to New Directions for the opportunities they have presented to me and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. I would happily continue to work with them in the future as I progressively move from being a Teaching Assistant to becoming a Primary Teacher.

Katie, Level 2, Blackwood

I had been told by fellow supply staff about New Directions recruitment agency. Following enrolling with New Directions I never looked back since. Payments were regular and correct, queries I made were answered and what is more I became more confident doing my work as I built up my trust in New Directions staff. I felt I was valued and in turn valued staffs’ judgement as I got to know the New Directions team and they got to know me. I really enjoy the work I am contracted to do.

I know the difference of being valued and treated with decency when dealing with staff at New Directions.
