Testimonials

I enjoy working for New Directions Education because my dedicated consultant, Matthew, is always professional and finds work for me that I request e.g early years and foundation phase. He has never pressurised me into doing key stage 2 work.  I find New Directions Education very reliable thanks to Matthew and other teachers I know who work for New Directions Education have also stated the same. Matthew is a great communicator. If I need to discuss anything work-related Matthew is approachable caring and listens with attention. One thing which is amazing about Matthew is he is very professional about the way he works with everyone, I say this because I have had chats with other supply teachers about Matthew.  I have been recommending New Directions Education to student teachers and teachers and TAs wishing to join an agency, I say to them Matt will look after you. I am with 3 agencies and New Directions Education is the most reliable and definitely the best.

Thank you!

Sara has been a great support during my short time with New Directions Education. Nothing is too much trouble for her.

My highlight would be the consistency of work, it is great! Although I choose to work part-time, there are always opportunities for me to work extra if possible.

Charlotte has been very supportive in all my assignments! She has been so warm and friendly and we had great communication since I’ve started working for New Directions Education. She was very organised and reliable and she gave me full details about the roles available, each day.

My highlight of working with New Directions Education: Charlotte placed me to work with great people and helped me find long-term contracts, not far from home, 5 days a week. She was brilliant in all her work and I am grateful for all she has done for me!

Thank you, Charlotte!
