Testimonials

We have been using New Directions since January 2012, after they were recommended to us by another local School. We have been delighted with the supply staff that New Directions have been able to provide us with – for both long and short term assignments.

The telephone is always promptly answered – regardless of the time of day – and staff are always very friendly and helpful. If we have requested the return of a supply teacher – wherever possible this has been arranged.

The most impressive situation that we have encountered is when our requirement was to cover our Music Co-ordinators timetable, including a Ukulele lesson – the music specialist supply that was found went out and bought a ukulele and taught herself to play it before coming to us!

We are more than happy to recommend New Directions to other schools

Julie Scales – Business Manager

“I have been working through New Directions for four years now, and would like to say that it’s been really a worthwhile experience.

When I was invited for an interview, I was a little apprehensive about the outcome, as working with an agency was a new experience for me. I needn’t have worried; the team were very friendly and took great pains to explain the terms and conditions to me. In fact, I had more to say to them in terms of when I was available for work!

One thing in particular makes the Swansea team so easy to work with, is that whenever I phone, they are always up to speed on everything, so full marks for office management. I hope to work with the team for a long time yet, so a big thank you to them, and best wishes to anyone joining New Directions.”

At Broad Oak primary, we have been working with New Directions since September 2010 and have been truly impressed by the rapid response and reliability shown. Our needs are always very well met by a dedicated management team and high quality teachers and teaching assistants, one of which we have been very pleased to appoint in school.

New Directions have offered a highly competitive rate for an excellent service and are now our sole provider of supply staff.

I would have no hesitation in recommending New Directions and look forward to continuing to work with Amanda and the team in the future.

Mount began to use New Directions for teaching supply in September 2010 and continue to do so. The service is very reliable and offers excellent value for money. Supply staff are of consistent quality, punctual, and conscientious.

The administration process is very efficient with booking confirmation, staff ID information & photo and invoice promptly emailed, reducing paper use. Our consultant is knowledgeable and very personable.

In my role as School Business Manager for three primary schools I am pleased to say that New Directions has delivered on expectations across all three schools.
