Testimonials

I applied through New Directions after finishing my degree just to see if I could get any work and experience before starting my teacher training in September. The staff got in contact straight away and within 2 weeks I was set up and in my first school. Since then I have had work every day (which is more than I was expecting). The staff are very supportive and the process was quick and easy to sort out.

Lucy, Teaching Assistant

I have worked for New Directions for a number of years. I returned to teaching towards the end of the last academic year. I can honestly say that my point of contact has been the best consultant I have ever dealt with. Not only has he found me work on a very regular basis, but more importantly he understands the differing needs of his client base and has placed me in schools where he knew I would be valued as a teacher. This has now led me to gaining a more permanent role within one of the schools. I can’t thank him enough and have already been recommending him to other supply teachers that I come across who currently are not with New Directions.

Zoe, Secondary Maths Teacher, Cardiff

We have been working with New Duirections for 5 years. We usually keep in contact weekly to book supply staff. The working relationship I have with our Account Manager is fab as once I have informed her of our needs, I can then totally rely on her to provide us with the best staff.

She is totally reliable and understanding of our needs.  We have built up an excellent partnership.

Yes I would recommend New Directions.

JJ – School clerk, Torfaen Primary School

It’s always easy to get hold of my account manager and I find it really useful that I can also send him a quick text rather than phoning through the office. He always replies quickly and is so helpful. He tailors my work around my availability which changes weekly, and also knows the type of schools I like to go to. I feel like he’s made the effort to get to know me as a candidate and therefore I’m really pleased with the service I get from New Directions.

For me, the highlight of working for New Directions is the online calendar system to update availability. I also really like the way the company is so flexible in regards to when I can work. My availability changes weekly and it’s fantastic for me that my account manager caters for that.

Rhianydd, English Teacher, Cardiff

My Account Manager has been extremely helpful, assisting in building relationships with schools I have enjoyed working in. He is very reliable, friendly and I always feel he has worked to the best of his ability in obtaining regular work for me. He has been an excellent point of contact, compared to other agencies I have been associated with and I would recommend New Directions.

Michael, ICT, Cardiff

Working with New Directions for the past two years was, and still is, a brilliant experience for me. It allowed me to work in a range of setting with different teachers staff and children from different backgrounds.

The staff at New Directions are supportive and understanding. My Account Manager always makes sure to give me work that fits my availability, location and group preferences.

It has been a pleasure representing New Directions.

Thank you all

I have been working for New Directions for the last four years on and off. I would like to say that my Account Manager is very helpful and committed to providing a fantastic service over the last year in helping me getting a long term contract this year, and maintaining a good client relationship with me throughout. The highlight of working with New Directions was helping me get a second bite of further education. I would deifnitely recommend New Directions, keep up the good work!

Matthew, FE Cardiff

Right from me making an initial enquiry Cassie has gone out of her way to assist me. This is particularly impressive as my requirements are not quite as straightforward as those that Cassie normally is presented with. She has regularly got in touch to update me with candidate details and nothing is too much trouble. The Highlight of working with New Directions is developing a friendly but professional relationship, I would recommend New Directions.

PVTL – Client Testimonial

During my time working with New Directions I have been impressed with all of my Account Managers.  They have always put me forward for positions within my specialism and secured me a long term at a nursery which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I have a friend who is moving to Liverpool from Spain and I’ve recommended her choosing New Directions to work as  I consider it as outstanding agency.
