Candidate Testimonials

I found the manner of the staff very friendly, helpful and efficient with responses to my requests or questions. I would be more than happy to work with New Directions Education again in the future.

Communication was great, I was never waiting for a response for longer than necessary. I was given plenty of open, honest advise when I needed it.

My account manager has been excellent in keeping in touch and finding me work which is suited to my needs.  They have regular contact with me which is really useful for me to keep in touch and up to date. Communication via email and on the portal is excellent.

I have found New Directions Education to be reliable, effective and a great source of work.

Dawn, Primary Teacher

Chloe is such a professional and keeps me updated with the relevant training/job availability.  She has shown understanding when I needed to shield an elderly relative and is always available through e-mail and phone calls when I need to ask any questions about supply work.

Chloe has informed me at every stage of the application process and has made the transition from full time teaching to supply work smooth and problem free.  It has been a huge personal move for me from a permanent job to flexible working because of grandchildren’s needs and she has supported me every step of the way. Thank you Chloe.

Primary Teacher, Bridgend

Tom has helped me and supported me in gaining Supply work from the beginning of the academic year. He has been a constant pillar of positive guidance, which I am eternally grateful. His positive approach throughout and calming influence has been truly outstanding.

When I first returned home at the end of July, Tom was a fantastic point of contact in helping me and supporting me in getting work for the start of the academic year. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Tom. He has been fantastic every single step of the way, and always contacts me and stays in touch. This is the sign of a true professional, of which I am extremely grateful.  Thank you so much for your care, guidance and support. Tom, you have been an immense help.

I am truly thankful for having Tom as my account manager, as he has been amazing.

Huw, Teacher

My main point of contact is Chloe Evans.  She has been keeping in regular contact, particularly during this trying Covid period and I have found her to be friendly, supportive and thoroughly professional. She’s always dealt with my queries promptly and I enjoy working with her.

My highlight of working with New Directions Education is working with a professional team who always cater for my needs and regularly keep in touch.

Thank you to the team at New Directions Education for looking after me so well during my long association with your company.

Liz, Primary Teacher

Thomas has gone above and beyond to make sure that I have got placements for work. He is extremely hard working and very professional at all times. He is very efficient at his job and is very supportive and helpful.

New Directions Education is a very professional organisation who have supported their employees and are very proactive in getting placements for all their staff. All the team members have good communication skills and are all willing to help.

I would like to say thank you  for the opportunity of working for New Directions Education. Your support and advice have helped me get to where I am today.

Joanne, Teacher

I feel I have a great working relationship with my account manager, Anica. She was very proactive in updating me about available work and checks in with me frequently to see how things are going. She understands various changes in my circumstances and ensures my placements suite my needs.

Anica successfully manages the relationships with the various schools and colleges I work at, supporting me in getting the hours I want and long term placements.

I enjoy the flexible nature of agency work and feel a sense of security that New Directions Education could find work for me every week.

Because I am able to work at a lot of different schools, I enjoy being able to meet and work with different people and see the different ways of working. Long term placements give me an extra sense of security, while I could still work flexibly to achieve my goals.

I have enjoyed working for New Directions Education and felt valued by the company.

Hayley, Administrator

Tom has been my manager from day one and he has been excellent in getting me plenty of work. I feel he knows my requirements very well.

It’s always a pleasure dealing with Tom and I have been told similar things by other supply teachers who work for New Directions Education.

The Highlight of working with New Directions Education is the frequency of work and dealing with Tom.
