My contacts with Kelly have always been professional and personable. Requests for various supply cover are dealt with efficiently and effectively, even at 7.30 in the morning. Bigyn organises the vast majority of its supply cover through New Directions, and this is because of the positive and friendly contact experienced.

As a supply teacher receiving regular weekly work, I feel that if I ever do have any problems, which are mostly few and far between, Rebecca my account manager is the best person to get in contact with as she always seem to deal with any issues promptly and efficiently.
If I have any enquiries/queries or issues she will also look for have answer, find a solution or willing to get back to me with if she didn’t have one then are then, take for example last week I have a tax enquiry about my payroll and she wasn’t able to give me answer immediately but explained that, to me clearly and told me she would get in touch with payroll, which she did, it turned out that I needed to contact the inland revenue anyway.
Also I must add I seem to have enough work coming in and I do seem to be kept fairly local, which is brilliant with me having a family at home, thank you for all you do.

Testimonial from Julie at St Bernard’s Catholic Primary, Ellesmere Port
I worked with Jen from New Directions in my previous role at a secondary school on the Wirral and we established a good working relationship. I was keen to continue this in my new school as I found her approach friendly and professional. We are approached several times a week by other agencies, whose approach is very forward and pushy, this is incredibly off-putting, this is not the case with Jen from New Directions. She has supplied us with some excellent quality supply staff and is always open and honest with us about their strengths and weaknesses. Our school is OFSTED outstanding and Jen knows how particular we are in our needs and always seems to match us up with the right supply candidate.
Contact is regular, but Jen also appreciates that we do not wish to be constantly bombarded by phone calls and emails, she understands the demands, busy times and ‘ins and outs’ of a school and that is a huge plus!
A highlight of working with New Directions is the supply staff we have been introduced to, the competitive rates, the consistency and our account manager Jen.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank New Directions for their efficiency and support. Usually, when you have the need to contact a supply agency it’s a hectic, stressful time, but contacting Jen with our requirements for the day takes away that anxiety. I would recommend them to other schools.

Head of Milton Juniors, Newport
I chose New Directions to supply my supply teachers as they are the preferred supplier for Wales. They always enable my school to have the same excellent staff. They have helped me by filling long term bookings and by always contacting my preferred teachers for bookings. When I have specific problems or needs Shannon my account manager meets these accordingly, such as invoicing bookings separately.
The highlight of working with New Directions is that there is always somebody at the end of the phone to assist in any staffing situation.

We choose to use New Directions to find our long and short term cover because the account managers and the staff they send are friendly. They have made day to day work easy as Shannon frequently communicates via email and phone and always allows us to have the teachers we prefer for cover.
The only problems we have with last minute supply cover is when the teacher is late. The teacher and Shannon are always very apologetic. The highlight of using New Directions is the professional and easy service and by contacting our favourite supply teachers who we know and trust for cover.
