Testimonials

The girls at New Directions have been incredible, they are efficient, well organised and friendly. Since working for ND, they have been very professional and very helpful. They have certainly helped me to settle into my current career choice, finding work that is suitable for me and have really helped raise my confidence since I started. ND is the first and only agency I registered for, and I am  extremely impressed by the professionalism of this agency. Lovely girls, and a lovely agency to work for. I would highly recommend to anyone who are considering going into the teaching sector.

Thank you

Chelsea, Teaching Assistant

I approached New Directions to choose my career in Education, as I love working with children. They helped me by going out of their way to provide me with opportunities and phenomenal experience over the past year. One thing I like is their friendly and “nothing is a problem” attitude. Without their valuable support and co-operation I wouldn’t have achieved my goals.

I strongly recommend New Directions for anybody seeking their career in Education domain.

1. How did you hear about New Directions?
I found the website while searching for agencies online and contacted you direct.

2.Was it easy to register?
It was my first time registering with an agency and so I found the amount of documents required was quite extensive but I understand the relevance of them all. I had an interview with the agency and then they waited for all of the references to come back and that was all so yes was fairly straightforward.

3. How have you found your experience with New Directions? How did we help you find work?
Extremely pleasant staff always keeping me informed, I have not been available for full weeks but have managed to get a couple of days work in between these dates always being informed before of the type of school and details. I am still looking for work and will be available more now I have finished my Level 2.

4. The results achieved
Yes they have found me work and hopefully more now that I am qualified and available more.

5. Why were we the best choice for helping you find work?
I found that they will find me work to suit my abilities and have also encouraged me to try new things such as ALN which I was not very confident in but I am glad they made me try as I have thoroughly enjoyed working in an ALN school recently.

6. Is there anything outstanding your account manager did?
She is extremely supportive and has tried really hard to place me with the right school and is also really pleasant on the phone.

Testimonial from Sue, Wirral Teaching Assistant

My Account Manager has been a fantastic account manager for me. She regularly offers me work and informs me of any training opportunities. She keeps in touch and has addressed any particular issues which I’ve had whilst at a school.

I am very grateful for the regular and flexible work provided to me by New Directions Education Ltd and the huge variety of experience it has given me.

I was introduced to New Directions by a colleague who joined after leaving a school. She felt that she was treated well and I must say that registration was very straightforward and professionally carried out. Certainly I felt welcomed and well-informed.
When I have been given assignments, My Account Manager (and indeed her colleagues) have been very supportive, alert and friendly. Feedback has been very positive and schools have been good to teach in. I was very impressed with inset support.
My Account Manager has kept in touch and I have been able to rejoin New Directions, grateful for her support.

I heard about New Directions from the internet and it was very easy and quick to register.

My experience working with New Directions has been excellent, they keep in touch, return any phone calls or messages, always confirm any booked work via text or email and have helped my find lots of good supply work in some great schools

Results achieved have been great, they have been the agency who have found me the most work over the past five months

New Directions were the best as listed above, professional, efficient and great at booking good work, confirming work and looking out for new opportunities

Testimonial from Louise, Wirral Teaching Assistant

When I have to call my account manager to arrange supply cover for Ysgol Heol Goffa I know that she fully understands our needs as a school, which are many and complex, the staff she sends to school are suited to the role they are needed to fill, which in our case is extremely important as the “wrong” person can be more of a hindrance than a help. Finding supply cover, especially at short notice, can be stressful but my account manager is always helpful and positive in her approach and I come off the phone feeling confident that she will do her best to meet our needs.

Alex – Deputy Head – Heol Goffa

Since working for New Directions I am very happy with the work I have been provided with. Being a university student I thought it would be difficult to get work but luckily my Account Manager has been brilliant and extremely helpful. She has always gone out of her way to provide me with regular work which matched my availability and needs, I could not be any more grateful. She is a real asset to the company!

I have also gathered highly valuable experience from working in different schools which is extremely important towards my career in teaching.

I highly recommend working for New Directions.

Sophie – TA – Swansea

Applying to join new directions two and a half years ago was very simple and straight forward with a pleasant interview at the office.
My consultant is extremely professional and understands my personal work preferences and needs. She is always friendly and personable and is a delight to work with.
She understands the difficult financial climate among schools but we both hope that I may be able to have a pay increase in the future.
I would recommend new directions to another teacher.
