Candidate Testimonials

New Directions has helped me to be confident. The team is very helpful and they answer my questions promptly. They have supported me a lot through gaining employment.

Asmaa, Classroom Assistant

I’m writing to give the New Directions team in general and Jen in particular the highest recommendation.

The team has a great understanding of their client’s experiences, backgrounds and commitments. Since registering with New Directions one year ago I have been offered more frequent long-term jobs rather than day-to-day supply which I prefer!

The staff are amazing, Jen is my line manager so she is the main person I deal with. Jen has been very friendly as we usually have friendly chats enquiring about my work and how I feel about my new duties, she understands my needs and finds me suitable positions that are geographically convenient as well.

Wedyan, Level 3 Teaching Assistant

Jennifer has been fantastic at providing work for me since taking over from Jess, she is always a pleasure to speak with on the phone and is always helpful when I have a query, thanks Jennifer for the work you have provided for me.

Natalie, Classroom Assistant

I have worked for New Directions Education for nearly a decade. I have always had a good rapport with the consultants who have managed to match my CV to relevant roles within Secondary and Primary schools in Cardiff and the Vale. Jess and Jen have been very helpful and supportive in finding me work and Jen is always only a phone call away if I have any concerns.

Beccs, Learning Support

Yasmin Madhloom has been my Account Manager for over 3 months. She has always been exceedingly professional and helpful with organising my assignments and dealing with many enquiries and issues. Yasmin was also very effective in the process of setting me up with the New Directions agency, always ensuring things run smoothly and efficiently. As my first and most important point of contact with the agency, she is the friendly, caring and enthusiastic face of my employer. Yasmin is always easy to get hold of in case of any information needed and she ensures I know all the available details of each of my teaching assignments. I feel that I am very well looked after by Yasmin and I hope she finds working with me equally effective and professional.

Aleksandra, Lecturer, Cardiff

Thanks to the ALN Team at New Directions for finding me long-term work and for being so friendly and accommodating. This is my second year with New Directions and they have always given me as much work as I needed until the last days of term. Thank you!

Working for New Directions has been awesome, I started working in January 2014. The joining process was very quick and easy the staff are very friendly and helpful.

It’s a lovely feeling when certain schools call back for you and leave good feedback about you.

When I first started I was only available 3 days a week, as I was still studying my Level 2, but I still managed to get continuous work for the 3 days I was available. Thank you New Directions, looking forward to 2016!
