Testimonials

I have been working for New Directions for the past year and have thorouhgly enjoyed it. I have an excellent open relationship with my account manager, who is always reliable and honest in all his dealings with me and I have consistently been given regular work in a number of different schools

As an ex headteacher myself, I would definitely reccomend New Directions from both a client and candidate perspective as I have found them to be a very efficient and reliable agency.

Paul, Supply teacher

I registered with New Directions in March 2016 and the highlight for me was going straight in to a long term position in April 2016.

My account manager is reliable and so far if I have had any queries, I can contact her and she will help me with whatever I need.

Patricia, Learning Support Assistant, Merthyr Tydfil

I have worked with New Directions Education since September 2016 and I would recommend working with the ALN team. I have been in a long term position, working one to one and I have developed new skills during this placement. I am also offered places on training courses, which is a great opportunity for me.

My account manager is an excellent communicator, enthusiastic and reliable. If there is ever a slight problem, it is always resolved quickly. The rest of the ALN team are always helpful too.

Ieuan, Learning Support Assistant, Merthyr Tydfil

I have worked with New Directions as an LSA since February 2016 and the highlight so far has been gaining experience. I have been able to work in different Schools with different pupils. On this basis, I would recommend New Directions!

My account manager is reliable, polite and friendly whenever I have had to contact her.

Ellie, Learning Support Assistant, Monmouthshire

I have worked with New Directions Education for almost a year. My account manager is brilliant! She has found me two long term placements and is very reliable. Before my long term placements, when I was doing day to day work, she would keep in touch and let me know as soon as work became available. She has been amazing.

The highlight of working with New Directions Education is being able to go to different School settings, meet new people and work with different age groups of pupils.

Shawna, Learning Support Assistant, Level 3, Merthyr Tydfil

I joined New Directions around two months ago and have been very impressed from day one. The initial application and interview process was both easy and suitably thorough for working with children. The relationship I now have with my account manager grows and strengthens everyday. She is incredibly professional and achieves that rare balance of understanding my own needs and encouraging me to develop within my role as an LSA.

Neil, Learning Support Assistant, Barry

I started working with New Directions last November and I would continue to do so if it wasn’t for the perfect reason to leave, New Directions helped me find a direct placement with a school!.

Since day one the Liverpool team have been nothing but really supportive, their work is impeccable and they will go to extra mile to ensure you are happy and you find the right place for you.

Since I started last year, I was never out of work, and they liaise with a range of primary and secondary schools, covering positions for teachers, TAs and cover supervisors. After being in different placements, they helped me find a position as a teacher in a school for a long cover and after a few months there, I’m going to be employed directly by the school covering a maternity leave.

5 stars for New Directions Education Liverpool and thanks a lot for your help.

Tony, Teacher, Liverpool

My Account Manager has been brilliant finding me work on the days I’m available. The work has also been varied in day-care centres or lunchtime roles as well as normal LSA roles in the classroom. She is always helpful and approachable and I always feel at ease with her.

Annette, Level 2 Teaching Assistant, Cardiff

I’ve worked for New Directions for just over a year and am thoroughly satisfied with my job. At first, I was worried that working for an agency might not provide me with enough work but fortunately  this has not been the case. My account manager has been fantastic and found me work to accommodate my changing circumstances. As an account manager, she is approachable whilst professional and thorough in her work. Furthermore, she listened to my requests and was proactive in ensuring specific training was available to us.
I feel privileged to have such a lovely account manager and am grateful for the opportunities that working for New Directions has given me.
