Dan and Tom from the Cardiff branch have been excellent finding me work. They both work really hard to ensure I get great placements usually in my subject area. They are friendly and reliable and always ask how I am doing before talking about the job or question I have.

There is always work, my Account Manager Dan is really friendly and helps with any issues I am having. Dan also gives me honest feedback and advice from my jobs on how I can improve and what I am doing well.

Geraldine, Teacher, Newport

Dan and Tom are both professional and approachable. They take into account my areas of expertise and experience when considering me for school placements. They contact me on a regular basis and keep me updated, should the circumstances change. Generally, an all round good experience as I have placements in schools I am familiar with and work for practically the majority of the school year.

Julie, Teacher, Monmouthshire

It has been such a positive experience working with Tom since I signed up in October. He has consistently found me work and made sure that I’ve been placed within my subject specialism where possible. Given that I was a relatively new member of the supply pool I didn’t expect to have so much work offered to me from the offset but it is clear that Tom works extremely hard maintaining relationships with schools and teachers alike. This has been reflected in the length of contracts I’ve been offered as well as the assurance of framework rates where applicable.
It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.

It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.  I very much look forward to working for New Directions in the future.

I have been able to work as an art teacher on a long term position in an incredibly supportive department. I have really enjoyed being given the reigns in terms of lesson plans and assessment and have felt very at home there.

Thank you for all the work you have done to ensure I’ve had regular teaching positions. I really appreciate it.

My highlight of working with New Directions is going to different schools and meeting different kinds of children with different backgrounds.
