I found New Directions on my browser when I was looking for extra work as a key stage one teacher. Within 24 hours I had registered with ND and within one week I was working. I love the fact that ND don’t put pressure on you to work if it is not required, their ‘on-line’ availability calendar is a great idea and eliminates last minute phone-calls when work is not required for whatever reason. My account manager who deals with my bookings is a credit to the recruitment industry as she has an entirely new approach to the candidate’s needs and preferences.
To sum up New Directions in 3 words is difficult as I’d love to say more bet here goes:

Honest, caring, eager.

Testimonial from a Wirral Primary Teacher

New Directions have continually found me Teaching Assistant work through the year, they have also put me on free courses such as First Aid and Team Teach which are great for my CV. Staff and particularly my Account Manager, are always polite, friendly and helpful.

After moving to Liverpool from Ireland I joined New Directions and with the help of the girls in the office I got my references, DBS and CV up to date. Pretty soon after all this was sorted out I was placed in schools for work. I gained experience in primary, secondary and ALN schools. As I am going on to complete a PGCE in Mathematics in September all of this experience will be of benefit to me. After time I was getting work in two or three different schools which was good as I was able to get known by staff and students and it provided continuity for both students and staff. I was always able to get in contact with the office via phone or by email and the online portal was great for checking bookings and payslips each week. The girls kept in contact after days work in new school and placed me in schools like these going forward.

New Directions are a very friendly agency. My account manager, Jen, has found plenty of work for me in local primary schools.

New Directions has helped me to gain a lot of experience in the teaching field – by offering me placements in good Schools and Colleges.

I’m really grateful to Jennifer George – she always takes care of me and respects my view in every way. She is also very friendly and understanding. I’m really very happy to have her and I hope to have her input throughout my career.

New Directions brought me one step closer to enhancing my career in Teaching Assistant work. It has given me many opportunities to prove to myself and other of what I can achieve. It has also given me numerous opportunities to work with various school, giving me the chance to connect with adults and children of different ages and backgrounds.

I am very blessed to work with New Directions.

“I required caretaking cover at short notice and knowing that New Directions helped in the past I asked Jen about availability. Within a few minutes she had secured short term cover with the further option of long term cover should we need it. The rapid and positive response meant that I could schedule and re-prioritise tasks over the coming days to minimise disruption, while having the peace of mind that cover had been secured. Jen is always helpful, honest and friendly.”

Summing up ND in 3 words: Helpful, honest, friendly.
