Introducing the VetCheck 24/7 Management Team Vol #3

The final chapter of our Meet the Team series introducing you to our dedicated management team of veterinary professionals.

💫 UK Nurse Manager Maestro: Rachael 💫

Rachael is our UK Nurse Manager. She is a Qualified Veterinary Nurse with extensive emergency experience and a particular interest in feline care.
Rachael lives in Suffolk, UK, with her husband, son, and two cats, likes to crochet and listen to a good book on Audible. Rachael holds a Divemaster qualification and has enjoyed diving in Australia. One of her favourite dive sites is the SS Yongala.
Rachael joined VetCheck 24/7 in 2021 and was drawn in by the innovative business model, the ability to support her industry and the flexibility it offered for her family life.
💫 Recruitment and Training Manager and Mermaid: Colleen💫
Colleen lives on Magnetic Island but has experience all over the globe and Australia and brings a calm competence to her role. With qualifications in everything from Computer science to phlebotomy, photography and PADI SCUBA diving, Colleen gained her Vet Tech Diploma in Canada and worked in emergency clinics in Canada and Australia before settling on Magnetic Island (for now!).

Outside of work, she is mostly found underwater freediving/snorkelling and building up her mermaid side-business. Yep. She’s a real life mermaid! True to form, she also volunteers on the medical team for the sea turtle hospital.

She loves recruitment with VetCheck 24/7 because: “I enjoy speaking with and connecting nurses from Australia and around the world. I gain a lot of satisfaction from helping to build our unique team of nurses and to see the amazing work they are capable of.”

Introducing the VetCheck 24/7 Management Team Vol #2
Part two of our Meet the Team series highlighting our dedicated management team of veterinary professionals. We are all experienced in the industry and know what it’s like to have to manage a heavy caseload, plus the demands of running a business. We are here and ready to help!
Check back in the upcoming weeks, to meet the compassionate and skilled nurses and vets who are always ready to assist with your pet’s needs. They’re here to provide the expert care and understanding you and your pets deserve.
Australian Vet Nurse Manager - Jaimi
Jaimi started on a different path, graduating uni and working in the television industry as a producer & production manager. That was until travel saw her to a lion conservation project in Zimbabwe, as a horse riding guide in the Chilean Andes, and on a television shoot at Australia Zoo. She was left with no choice but to follow her heart and relocated from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast with her husband Ben and began her nursing clinical career there.
Having experienced everything from GP, ECC and Specialist nursing, she now resides in Hobart with her menagerie of pets. When she’s not working, she’s hiking somewhere in the wilderness, hanging upside down at aerial yoga, trying not to kill my indoor plant collection, and listening to heavy metal music.
With degrees in Communications, a Cert IV in Film & TV, and a Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing, Recover CPR Basic and Advanced Life Support course, and recently having provided consultancy services on the animal care industry in the education sector, Jaimi is excited to be part of this evolutionary phase where we look at different ways of working for Vet people and businesses.

Client Partnership Representative and Synegiser: Tanya

While studying Animal Science and Management at Melbourne Uni, Tanya started in her first role in the vet industry, one she finally landed after five applications! A perfect example of the tenacity, head-down-bum-up and collaborative attitude which also saw her work her way up from trainee nurse, to senior nurse before moving into the business administration side. She took the opportunity to combine her passion for animal (and human!) nutrition and clinical research with her newfound interest in business to work with Hill’s, where she had incredible five years of collaboration with stakeholders in every size and scale of Veterinary business. She recalls with a certain degree of trauma-tinged pride, the four months spent managing the vet clinic at a street dog charity in Sri Lanka which undertakes emergency veterinary care as well as housing over 1200 dogs and 120 cats on site in free-roaming packs!

An avid traveller, she lusts for the excitement of once again jumping on a one-way flight to an exotic destination - something that will have to wait as she is currently a busy working mum of two. Residing on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Tanya throws the kids and husband in their camper as often as she can to get out camping and exploring. In her limited spare time, Tanya is either at the F45 gym, in the garden, grabbing coffee/wine or dancing with friends!

Tanya loves collaborating with businesses and believes in the magic of a real conversation! She’s excited to help more clinics lighten their load with VetCheck 24/7.

It’s no wonder that VetCheck 24/7 is the after hours triage service trusted by veterinary practices across Australia and New Zealand.
