Testimonials

Daniel is extremely positive, honest and emphatic. He is very supportive and straight-talking whilst being reliable. Dan has excellent communication skills and is a great problem solver.

My highlight has been building my working relationships with Daniel and Hannah and them providing me with regular bookings in wonderful schools. Perfect team.

Geraldine, Teacher, Newport

Dan and Tom are both professional and approachable. They take into account my areas of expertise and experience when considering me for school placements. They contact me on a regular basis and keep me updated, should the circumstances change. Generally, an all round good experience as I have placements in schools I am familiar with and work for practically the majority of the school year.

Julie, Teacher, Monmouthshire

It has been such a positive experience working with Tom since I signed up in October. He has consistently found me work and made sure that I’ve been placed within my subject specialism where possible. Given that I was a relatively new member of the supply pool I didn’t expect to have so much work offered to me from the offset but it is clear that Tom works extremely hard maintaining relationships with schools and teachers alike. This has been reflected in the length of contracts I’ve been offered as well as the assurance of framework rates where applicable.
It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.

It makes a massive difference to my motivation to have such a positive and supportive relationship which is based on transparency and respect.  I very much look forward to working for New Directions in the future.

I have been able to work as an art teacher on a long term position in an incredibly supportive department. I have really enjoyed being given the reigns in terms of lesson plans and assessment and have felt very at home there.

Thank you for all the work you have done to ensure I’ve had regular teaching positions. I really appreciate it.

Siobhan, Teacher, Cardiff

Tom is always contactable and very helpful when organising job opportunities. He is easy to talk to and a very happy, cheerful person!

My highlight of working with New Directions is going to different schools and meeting different kinds of children with different backgrounds.

Olivia, Cover Supervisor, Cardiff

I have had excellent communication via email and phone with both Dan and Hannah since registering with New Directions Education and ongoing thereafter. They are both very helpful and friendly.

Since working with New Directions I’ve had daily work which is great!

Lydia, Cover Supervisor, Newport

I have worked with New Directions for over a year and have had the pleasure of working with Stuart from the very beginning. He has always been extremely professional and has guaranteed me work with the company which has allowed me to develop professionally and have incredible experiences in a range of different schools. This has fortunately developed into a full time teaching position in a lovely school for half a term. Stuart always works hard and corresponds quickly with any advice/issues that I may have and hew resolves them fast and thoroughly. Stuart is an asset to New Directions and I would recommend him to all education staff looking for employment.

Jenifer Evans, Learning Support Assistant, Carmarthen

I have good relationships with the staff at New Directions. They have welcomed me with an open-door policy in their office with advance warning, where they invited me to their new Merthyr office when it opened.

New Directions Merthyr office is easy to get in contact with. The team are very approachable, I will always have an email or phone call to ensure I am doing well and they have a point of interest with their candidates.

Michael, FE Teacher, Mid Glamorgan

Tom is Efficient, organised and always ready to help when the need arises. I have no complaints about Tom’s ability.

The highlight of working with New Directions is that it’s all done for me. I just turn up on the day!

Teacher, Merthyr
