I have been working for New Directions Education for 1 school year so far and I have been continually offered work. I am contacted by telephone or text message regularly. My Account Manager is friendly, helpful and flexible when offering me work, which is very helpful to me. I have previously recommended New Directions to friends looking for work and I will continue to do so.

I appreciate the communication with my Account Manager and the flexibility around where I can work.

I have found my relationship with my Account Manager Tammy to be a positive one. Tammy is friendly, approachable and helpful. Her pleasant personality comes through when speaking either on the phone or via email, and I know from past experience that if I have a query, for instance about a booking, Tammy will endeavour to provide an answer as soon as possible.

I have enjoyed getting to know various Account Managers e.g. Tammy Parnell, Emma Williams and Caitlin Tasker. I have also found the work provided very enjoyable.

My relationship with my Account Manager Tammy Parnell is a professional, yet warm and friendly one. She has been a great help.

The highlight of working with New Directions Education has been experiencing different settings, meeting new people and working with/for pupils/staff in varied surroundings and circumstances. It has allowed me to create valuable connections with those in the Education sector.

Working with Tammy Parnell has been a pleasure and I appreciate her understanding and support throughout my time with New Directions.

Tom upholds excellent communication and worked with my individual needs. Local work has always been found as I did not drive. I have held several long-term positions, which has allowed me to develop my classroom ability. When days have been needed off, Tom always facilitates this. Throughout my experience, all the schools I have worked with are highly respectful of Tom.

New Directions operate professionally, I have always been paid on time and supported with work.

I have worked with New Directions for the last three years with both Laura and Sara as my Account Managers.

Sara is always very helpful and happy.  She has a lovely manner when talking to her and has looked after me very well during my time with New Directions.

I cannot say enough about Laura, my previous Account Manager. Laura looked after me during a very difficult time, she was amazing and I thought the way I was treated by the company was outstanding. I couldn’t think more highly of the whole team, but especially Laura. Sara has looked after me since February 2019 and has been just as sympathetic and understanding. I have never spoken to anyone in New Directions who has not been helpful or polite.

I think the staff are amazing and would recommend New Directions to anyone starting out.

I have worked with New Directions for the last twelve months and my Account Managers have been Sara and Tammy. I feel that both have fully understood my working needs and are easily contactable. The online portal that is available to candidates is very user-friendly and I have found the company offers a great deal of training. I would recommend New Directions to other Learning Support Assistants.

I love dealing with Amelia in relation to my work through New Directions. She is always professional, efficient and very amiable, always making time to have a little chat. She is supportive and understands the type of work that suits my needs. Amelia is always helpful, patient and polite – a joy to speak to.
