Matt has always been very supportive, and  accommodating to my needs. Matt tries his best for me when arranging work to fit my family life. Matt is very friendly, approachable, and an asset to the company.  I would highly recommend him.

Jemma, Primary Teacher, Cardiff

Matthew is a great dedicated consultant and always provides work suited to my needs. I can always get in touch with him at any time and feel comfortable asking any questions about work.

He is always polite and friendly and keeps us updated in regards to policies and covid rules.

Faiza, Primary Teacher, Cardiff

Since being with New Directions Education, I have always found Matt to be very approachable with any issue/query I may have had. The majority of the time, bookings are in advance and any important information regarding the school / class / individual learner has always been relayed prior to confirming the job.

I would recommend New Directions to any prospective teacher who wishes to work within Cardiff schools

Lois, Primary Teacher, Cardiff

Sara has been absolutely fantastic right from the start, she has helped me with anything that I have needed and always done her very best for me. Sara has always provided a great amount of work and has put me in contact with lovely people, which has led me to great opportunities and friendships.

My highlight has been the extent of work that I have continuously been offered, I have had a full week’s worth of work to which I am very grateful.

Thank you once again for your support, kindness, and the opportunities that you have given me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you all. Very much appreciated.

Hannah, Teaching Assistant, Caerphilly

Elizabeth has been my account manager since I started working for New Directions Education just over 2 years ago. She is always helpful and friendly, and helps me navigate any difficulties that may arise. She keeps me updated with courses I may be interested in to further my professional development and is always on hand for advice or a friendly chat. She has found me an abundance of work in schools in my preferred area and in doing so has helped me build great relationships with staff and pupils alike.

Alexandra, Teacher, Swansea

Matt is always very good at communicating, he checks up on how I am doing if the job is long-term and gives feedback if provided by the schools. He is always very friendly and approachable and has been able to answer any questions I have. During furlough, Matt was also able to reassure any worries regarding pay and work that I had and is a great point of contact for me at New Directions Education.

Beth, Primary Teacher, Cardiff

From the moment I made my first enquiry to New Directions, I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. Kirsty sees me as a person and not a number. The time put into my development and training is greatly appreciated. I have completed many courses through this company and there are always courses available to take.  A very professional Education agency who want the best for their candidates as well as clients.

Highlight was being offered a primary school placement for 8 weeks within 2 weeks of enrolling – this contract was extended and is still ongoing. The communication between New Directions and the school is excellent.

Rachel, Learning Support Assistant, Carmarthenshire

I was a little nervous initially upon joining an agency but, Kirsty was fantastic and my registration was really easy. I was in my first post very quickly. New Directions Education gave me all the information and support that I needed to help me in my first post. I was really fortunate that my first school is now looking to employ me.

The highlight of working with ND: I was matched so well to my first post that I have been offered a position in the school. Thank you!

Christina, LSA, Swansea
