New Directions Education International Division covers all things recruitment for the overseas education community. We spoke with Louise O\u2019Hanlon and Emily Tune – Account Managers for the team\u00a0about the growth of the business and plans for international travel\u2026<\/p>\n

Can you tell us about why the International Team was put together?<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Directions has been in operation since 1994. That\u2019s 20 years working within the recruitment and training sector. We have worked hard to develop strong relationships with the education communities across England and Wales. As the global market has grown across all other business sectors \u2013 it has also reached the education field. More and more of our partners were talking about international opportunities. After working closely with one consortium, we decided to launch the international operation.<\/p>\n

Where have you recruited for internationally so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a number of vacancies registered in Dubai at present \u2013 this is a real hotbed of activity for our team. We are also looking at the Middle East and the antipodean markets.<\/p>\n

Are you looking to recruit international teachers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We most certainly are, if you are a teacher looking for an opportunity in the UK \u2013 England or Wales, we want to hear from you. By opening up the education community we know we are affording new experiences, not just for the staff that come over here to work \u2013 but for the lucky pupils who get to be taught by international teachers.<\/p>\n

We absolutely want to hear from teaching staff across the globe to talk to them about opportunities here in the UK.<\/p>\n

Have you got any plans for international travel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, Emily Tune will be in Australia for a month at the start of this academic year. The hope is that we will spread the word about our international division whilst she is out there. Watch out for our very British advertising campaign across Oz.<\/p>\n
