Candidate Testimonials

A note to say what a fantastic job New Directions has done to find me work. I have been continually in work since I signed up, have never had any pay problems or any other issues, and is by far the most reliable and organised agency I have been with.

The only thing I regret is not having joined them sooner.

Thanks for the help and work.

Jennifer is very reliable and is always there when I have any questions that need answering. Jen is in frequent contact and keeps me up to date with many things happening at New Directions.
She is kind, positive and shows great enthusiasm for work and schools. I know that Jen is always happy to help and this fills me with great confidence. A highlight of working with New Directions is when I received the employee of the month award. Jennifer came to the school I was working at and presented me with the award personally.

Since commencing work with New Directions in September I have dealt mainly with Kelly Sheppard arranging work and training. Kelly has helped make the transition to part time employment much smoother than I anticipated.

Kelly is always polite, efficient, and helpful. Further, she has a very positive attitude which is both uplifting and reassuring. I hope that I shall continue to work with Kelly next year.

My experience of working with New Directions has been excellent. My Account Manager Sian shows a great deal of understanding and give and take always finding work for me in local schools where possible. I also appreciate the fact that the personal touch is more prevalent than the financial aspect.

Last year, around this time, I contacted New Directions to be a candidate. The process was fast and very straightforward. Since then, I have been very happy with my choice to work with them. All staff are kind, helpful and work hard to find me work. The website is really good – I can always log in to check my bookings, pay slips and change my availability of work as I usually work part-time. I have gained a lot of experience with working and adapting myself to suit different school environments. New Directions are keen to provide any necessary training for all candidates.

I would recommend New Directions to anybody who would like to pursue a career in education with confidence.

The highlight of working with New Directions has been that I have been in work constantly since registering and would recommend New Directions.
