Candidate Testimonials

New Directions were great in getting me into long-term work with Kitchener Primary.  It was offered to me at a time when I needed it most.  Apart from loving and enjoying my time and work there, on a practical level it is just a ten minute walk away from my home, only 15 minutes from my children’s school and it just suits me to a tee.  I couldn’t be happier!

My first point of contact Jen George is fantastic. She is friendly, approachable, not at all intimidating and is understanding.  She is always prompt in getting back to me when I contact her and is always cheery.  I have nothing but praise for her.

Helen, Classroom Assistant

I have been working for New Directions since September on a regular basis two days a week, and whatever placements I am offered in between. I am enjoying the experience of working for you and dealing with you. All my dealings have been with Kate, she has been absolutely brilliant. Always pleasant, positive and well mannered, giving me as much notice of placements as possible and keeping me informed of any changes. She is a real asset to the company and I will gladly look to continue seeking employment through New Directions and recommend you to others.

Jeff – Candidate – Tutor

New Directions have been superb at finding me long-term work in two great schools. The girls at New Directions matched my qualifications to certain roles i.e 1:1 with child who communicated via Makaton. Also ensured that my latest school was close enough to my local area that I didn’t need to travel far whilst without a car. They are always available to speak to if/ when you need them. They really are a fabulous agency and would recommend them to lots of friends and colleagues.

Rachel, HLTA

New Directions have sent me on so many courses, I’ve been really lucky. I’ve had lots of regular work in lovely schools and I’m looking forward to 2016!

Sarah, Level 3 Teaching Assistant

As a NQT, New Directions have helped kick start my career. My account manager has always been flexible, accommodating and has always found me work. I am so happy that I have landed myself a full time job in the new year at one of the schools I used to do supply for with New Directions. It’s even in my preferred year group. Thanks New Directions.

Leah, Supply Teacher Newport

I have been with New Directions for at least a year now and even though I have not needed work as yet, due to my main job, I have admired their loyalty, patience, dedication and consistency towards me. New Directions have persistently keep in touch regardless of my input to availability for work and it helps me to feel safe knowing their professionalism, reliability and that they are there when needed.

Melanie, Teaching Assistant

New Directions have been great in helping make the move to a new area, as soon as all of my paper work and checks had been completed they had work available for me. They’ve always been helpful and supportive and have even been able to offer training to help in areas where I didn’t have experience.

Sam, Classroom Assistant

As a PhD student with limited time, it was so hard to find a job which matches my busy schedule, but thanks to New Directions it is possible for me to work flexible hours.

Thank you so much for your help!
