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

Sarah Harris (Senior School Support Officer) Crindau Primary

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

We almost solely use New Directions Education for supply staff requirements. We regularly require both teaching and support staff. Joe Macartney is our point of contact for support staff.

Joe has never let us down when we have needed staff, even at short notice. He also takes regular feedback from us as to the suitability of some of the staff he has sent us. He keeps in regular contact with the school but doesn’t give us the hard sell which we experience with other supply agencies. He is always pleasant and courteous, even when the pressure was really on during the very busy Covid19 months when supply staff requirements were at a premium.

Darran Park Primary School

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.
