Dan and Tom are both professional and approachable. They take into account my areas of expertise and experience when considering me for school placements. They contact me on a regular basis and keep me updated, should the circumstances change. Generally, an all round good experience as I have placements in schools I am familiar with and work for practically the majority of the school year.

It has been such a positive experience working with Tom since I signed up in October. He has consistently found me work and made sure that I’ve been placed within my subject specialism where possible. Given that I was a relatively new member of the supply pool I didn’t expect to have so much work offered to me from the offset but it is clear that Tom works extremely hard maintaining relationships with schools and teachers alike. This has been reflected in the length of contracts I’ve been offered as well as the assurance of framework rates where applicable.
It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.

It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.  I very much look forward to working for New Directions in the future.

I have been able to work as an art teacher on a long term position in an incredibly supportive department. I have really enjoyed being given the reigns in terms of lesson plans and assessment and have felt very at home there.

Thank you for all the work you have done to ensure I’ve had regular teaching positions. I really appreciate it.

Tom is always contactable and very helpful when organising job opportunities. He is easy to talk to and a very happy, cheerful person!

My highlight of working with New Directions is going to different schools and meeting different kinds of children with different backgrounds.

Olivia, Cover Supervisor, Cardiff

I have had excellent communication via email and phone with both Dan and Hannah since registering with New Directions Education and ongoing thereafter. They are both very helpful and friendly.

Since working with New Directions I’ve had daily work which is great!

Lydia, Cover Supervisor, Newport

Tom is Efficient, organised and always ready to help when the need arises. I have no complaints about Tom’s ability.

The highlight of working with New Directions is that it’s all done for me. I just turn up on the day!

Teacher, Merthyr

Becky is always friendly, professional and very highly organised. I have always been more than happy about working with her. On the one occasion I had a problem with a booking, Becky contacted me promptly and resolved the situation. All other branch staff with whom I have had contact are also excellent.

I have worked with other agencies and none have been of the same quality of experience I have had at New Directions Education, particularly with Becky.

Louise, FE Teacher, Cardiff

Tom has been very professional throughout all contact. He has been very reliable, considerate and has always worked hard to ensure that I got subject-specific placements. He was in regular contact throughout the academic year.
