Testimonials

I have been working with New Directions Education for a number of years now and in recent years in the role of Additional Learning Needs. I have been fortunate to have a long term placement and I’m extremely happy at the school. I know I can always rely on Amelia and the team for support and advice at any point in time – it is readily available. I am looking forward to many years to come as the work is varied and interesting. Amelia recognises my strengths and is able to assign me to appropriate placements. We share an open and honest working relationship, which makes me feel valued and respected .

I have been working for New Directions Education for 1 school year so far and I have been continually offered work. I am contacted by telephone or text message regularly. My Account Manager is friendly, helpful and flexible when offering me work, which is very helpful to me. I have previously recommended New Directions to friends looking for work and I will continue to do so.

I appreciate the communication with my Account Manager and the flexibility around where I can work.

I have found my relationship with my Account Manager Tammy to be a positive one. Tammy is friendly, approachable and helpful. Her pleasant personality comes through when speaking either on the phone or via email, and I know from past experience that if I have a query, for instance about a booking, Tammy will endeavour to provide an answer as soon as possible.

I have enjoyed getting to know various Account Managers e.g. Tammy Parnell, Emma Williams and Caitlin Tasker. I have also found the work provided very enjoyable.

Larah Davies, LSA, Merthyr Tydfil

Tom upholds excellent communication and worked with my individual needs. Local work has always been found as I did not drive. I have held several long-term positions, which has allowed me to develop my classroom ability. When days have been needed off, Tom always facilitates this. Throughout my experience, all the schools I have worked with are highly respectful of Tom.

New Directions operate professionally, I have always been paid on time and supported with work.

Callum, Cover Supervisor, Mid Glamorgan

I registered with New Directions Education Ltd as an Examination Invigilator in autumn 2017. NDE provided me with full invigilation and safeguarding training, and this has resulted in my having worked over 300 hours facilitating and supervising both external and internal examinations in schools in the Wirral and Cheshire West and Chester Authorities. It has also enabled me to secure invigilation work at two universities.

Lauran Collins has been my Consultant for most of my time with NDE. Lauran is extremely professional and proactive. She always seeks to match me with schools, and find me suitable placements. Some six months ago, she placed me in a primary school to cover the post of School Administrator due to the postholder’s sickness absence. This has led to my continuing in this post for a further term.

Lauran is entirely helpful, responsive and willing to liaise with schools on my behalf. I am confident that Lauran will continue to find me further roles at the end of my current placement.
