Testimonials

I have worked with New Directions for over a year and have had the pleasure of working with Stuart from the very beginning. He has always been extremely professional and has guaranteed me work with the company which has allowed me to develop professionally and have incredible experiences in a range of different schools. This has fortunately developed into a full time teaching position in a lovely school for half a term. Stuart always works hard and corresponds quickly with any advice/issues that I may have and hew resolves them fast and thoroughly. Stuart is an asset to New Directions and I would recommend him to all education staff looking for employment.

I have good relationships with the staff at New Directions. They have welcomed me with an open-door policy in their office with advance warning, where they invited me to their new Merthyr office when it opened.

New Directions Merthyr office is easy to get in contact with. The team are very approachable, I will always have an email or phone call to ensure I am doing well and they have a point of interest with their candidates.

Teacher, Merthyr

Becky is always friendly, professional and very highly organised. I have always been more than happy about working with her. On the one occasion I had a problem with a booking, Becky contacted me promptly and resolved the situation. All other branch staff with whom I have had contact are also excellent.

I have worked with other agencies and none have been of the same quality of experience I have had at New Directions Education, particularly with Becky.

Dan has been an excellent help throughout my employment with New Directions Education. He is always on hand to help and answer any questions should I need help.  Having an Account Manager on hand to speak to means Dan is always quick to respond to emails with excellent communication and a great level of experience.

The highlights of working for New Directions are:

• Always know in advance where/when you are needed to work
• Pay on time

My Account Manager Ella has always been approachable, friendly and has really made the time to get to know me and find me work that matches my skills and experience. Ella is always cheerful and is always quick to pass on praise and positive comments from schools. She has also got me into several long term positions with various schools all of which have been amazing.

My highlight is working in my current long-term position in a Rhyl primary school and prior to this, covering long-term sick leave in another Rhyl primary school from November to February.

I love the courses and CPD training during school holidays they have been informative and very well run. The fact that you can attend as many as you would like is fantastic for your career development.
