Testimonials

We regularly use New Directions for teachers and support staff. Depending on the time of year we use teaching supplies every week. Also support staff in the form of LSA’s maybe not as regularly as teachers as we tend to cover in house. Am always able to make contact both by e mail and telephone and replies are almost instant.

I deal with Gemma and Laura who are both delightful. Always helpful, courteous, conscientious, and obliging. I feel I have an excellent rapport with both these ladies and always feel very comfortable with them asking for supplies.

Gemma has always been up front with me, so if on the rare occasion that they are unable to supply teachers they let me know almost immediately.

I would recommend New Directions.

Barbara, Secretary, Caerphilly Primary School

I am pleased with the service provided by my Account Manager at New Directions. I find her conscientious, thorough and accommodating.

Over the past few months she has gone over and above with regards to finding Ysgol y Grango suitable cover supervisors/teachers for short and long term cover.

I am happy with her work and will continue to use New Directions in the future.

Ysgol Y Grango – Tracey Prydderch – Supply Co-Ordinator

All ND staff especially Rachel and Becky have been very supportive and fully understanding of our school’s needs. They are very friendly yet professional and I have no hesitation in using any of the staff recommended by them.

Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble and they go to great lengths to ensure that we have the ‘best match’ for our school.

The highlight of working with New Directions is knowing that the cover they provide is of a high quality and knowing that I can usually have cover at short notice when needed.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend New Directions.

Mrs Davies, Head Teacher, Llanvihangel Crucorney Primary School

My Account Manager organised a long term sickness supply teacher for us at the start of the academic year. Sonia has now been with us for over a month. She has turned out to be one of the best supply teachers we have ever had.

Cindy Helyn-Jones, Business Manager, St Martins High School

I have used New Directions with my account mananger being the main contact for the past few years, with excellent results. Our requirements are fully understood and dealt with very efficiently to our complete satisfaction, the standard of the staff provided by this agency is excellent and we have not been disappointed. I find they have an excellent team who are able to and do meet our exacting requirements.

Susan Tinn, Supply Co-ordinator, Lakelands Academy

I am currently very happy with the service provided by the Secondary Team. New Directions have been able to help us fill two long term positions, with both candidates being of a high calibre. In addition, I have found New Directions flexible when it comes to charging for specific periods, rather than billing us on a block morning / afternoon basis, which during hard financial times, has been of great benefit. I would certainly recommend them to other schools.

Gareth Davies, Business Manager, St Joseph’s Catholic High School

A quick email just to let you know that we have been happy with the service provided by you through New Directions both with the day to day and longer term cover staff.

Testimonial for Secondary Team – New Directions Education Ltd

We have used New Directions Agency over the last 3 months for short term supply and long term absence cover in Chemistry, Business and History A Level subjects.

I have found my Account Manager to be efficient and incredibly quick to respond to our needs. She seems to know all of her candidates, and their strengths and abilities, well and is able to
recommend suitable teachers based on her knowledge and our needs. Even for difficult to fill A Level subjects such as Maths and Physics, my Account Manager has been able to provide details
of potential candidates who are readily available and suitably experienced.

The teachers we have had to date from New Directions have been of good quality; particularly the long term cover teacher we currently have in History, who has settled well into College life
and is well thought of by students and colleagues alike.

I will be leaving Shrewsbury Sixth Form College at the end of this term, and I look forward to continuing a business relationship with New Directions in my new employment.

Sharon Parks, HR Manager, Shrewsbury Sixth Form College

I have been working with New Directions for over 5 years, my account manager is Gemma, she is fantastic. Gemma has always found me 5 days work a week and has followed through on her promise to find me long term work on several occasions. Communication is excellent I really couldn’t ask for anything better.

I enjoy working with New Directions because of their friendly staff who are willing to listen and understand problems when they arise. During money worries Gemma has always put my mind at ease and got me through the bad times.

I would recommend New Directions as they are a fantastic company to work for. I have already recommended my brother to work for you and have also recommended several other people.
