I put my cv on a jobs website. I was approached by New Directions to come and talk at their Liverpool office. I had worked for 4 years with another agency in the Wigan area til I had an operation which took longer to recover from than I thought it would. As a result I did not work for nearly 2 years. This proved disasterous for getting references as any work I had done was out of date. When I went back to work for this agency they could offer me work in Manchester, Salford, Blackburn, Burnley, Preston which were too far away for me from my home in Wigan. So when New Directions said that they could get me work in the Wigan area I was very grateful. Registration was easy. I went to the Liverpool office and met Laura who was very helpful. Because of the difficulty with my references Compliance were not too happy about taking me on, but Laura intervened and worked out that my feedback from any school I worked in should be well monitored. Thank you Laura for having faith in me and going that extra mile for me.
In three words New Directions is Caring, Thorough and Approachable.

Thank you to all the girls at the office, I could not have been as successful without you all; I appreciate all the hard work you have done for me all year round, your understanding and always looking out for me. It has been a fantastic year and I was able to get out what I needed from it; I can now only hope I will become a successful fully qualified teacher. Once again I cannot thank you all enough.

I heard about New Directions Education through Guardian job search. The registration process was a bit time-consuming, but that is to be expected seeing as I am coming all the way from Norway. You have done a great job assisting me through the whole process. New Directions found me work immediately after I became an active cover teacher, so I am more than happy with you. Just the fact that you helped me come over from Norway and get me work here in England is outstanding.
I can sum up New Directions Education with the words; efficient, helpful and resourceful.

Through a google search online
Yes, people were very welcoming and helpful.
There is some small work that is out of my specialty field, I hope to continue to learn but I also hope to take my career in the right direction, to do art or humanities.
Laura helped me get my application through and helps me get into work even if its not my specialty as she understands how much I need to work.
Helpful, understanding and excellent comunicators

I approached New Direction Education to help me find a leadership/teaching position so that I could return to my home city of Liverpool after over 15 years living and working abroad and settle permanently. Their supportive and friendly approach instantly put me at ease and made me feel confident that I would find the next perfect stage in my career. Not only was I returning to a job market I had been away from for some time but was also attempting to do it while working in a school 215 miles away in Wiltshire. Efficient, well organised and on the ball, I never had to wait long to get an email from Laura answering a specific query or question and each time I spoke to the office I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.
With the support and advice of Alison who offered her professional knowledge and experience without question, I have a letter of application that is relevant, well-structured and contains details of my experience that I am confident will support my future applications, It is a document I am proud of .
Thanks to everyone at New Directions Education, the decision to leave a secure successful job is always a little terrifying especially when you are not sure what’s coming next, but your professionalism and warm approach has definitely made things a lot less stressful.

Excellent. Contacted on a daily basis. Very reliable. Informative and supportive. Laura has been excellent in providing information and support from the moment I started working for New Directions. She has been very helpful and along with her colleagues has found me an interesting variety of work which I have enjoyed.
Highlight of working with New Directions: Working in a number of different schools. Range of work has been interesting. Working on the GPS has given me a degree of financial security and allowed me to plan my expenditure accordingly. I hope I can work on the GPS in 2015.
Would recommend New Directions? : Yes
