I have a real passion for the Veterinary industry, which propelled me into launching Vet Seekers Ltd back in 2016. I have over 13 years in the veterinary recruitment sector, thus giving me a vast insight and understanding of the market, along with the various roles and tasks related to the profession.
Outside of work, I am a bit of a foody. I enjoy cooking and eating dishes from various countries and of course spending time with family an friends and the miniature Schnauzers Tash and Mazy!

My love for animals came from living abroad in Spain for five years when I managed a cat shelter in Denia called Aldea Felina. As most of you know Spain and many other countries including the UK suffer with many large stray cats and dogs and many are neglected, dumped when they get to be of an adult age and left to fend for themselves.
After working for a veterinary recruitment agency, I am very fortunate to be part of Vet Seekers where I can offer a specialist bespoke service to both vets and nurses alike. I feel fortunate to work alongside these professionals and assist them with finding their next step in their veterinary careers.

From my experience within the hospitality and payroll sectors I have developed a good understanding of people and how to build strong working relationships. I believe in being open, honest and positive in everything I do and pride myself on being meticulous with my day to day work.
I come from a family who has always had pets and feel there is nothing better than coming home from work to a heart-warming meow or a woof. When I am not at work I am usually doing something which involves football! I also love to travel to new places, exploring cultures and trying the local food.
I am very excited for this new opportunity to work at Vet Seekers and look forward to supporting you in any way possible.

I have worked in the veterinary industry for 10 years, varying from veterinary practices, hydrotherapy units, rescue centres and game reserves in South Africa. My grandfather was a racehorse trainer and a jockey, so I grew up around animals from a young age. Coming from a pet mad family background, I understand the importance of ensuring the very best veterinary professionals are in place, to ensure the health and wellbeing of beloved pets.
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, travelling and socialising. I am very excited for this new opportunity to work at Vet Seekers and look forward to supporting you in any way possible. -

I absolutely adore and have grown up around animals, currently owning a dog and a cat, and up until recently owned horses for many years. I have first hand experience with how important veterinary practice is after having to deal with numerous emergency situations with my own animals, so know having access to the best veterinary talent is essential. From my previous experience within recruitment in a different sector, I hope to provide you with a comprehensive service, build lasting professional relationships and support you in any way possible.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising with family and friends, going on long walks with my French bulldog Hank, playing hockey for my local team and just generally being active. I am very excited about this opportunity to work for Vet Seekers and hope to speak with you soon.

For the past 5 years I have been working in the veterinary industry providing customer service for a veterinary supplier, working with veterinary professionals on a daily basis.

In addition to this, I hold a bachelor of science degree in animal behaviour, along with a veterinary nursing assistant diploma. With my background and experience, I believe I can make a difference at Vet Seekers by finding the most suitable veterinary professionals and placing them in the right roles.
I am an animal lover at heart, with a particular interest in all things feline, especially big cats. I own a British shorthair called Misha. In my spare time I enjoy dining out, music, and visiting zoos/wildlife parks.

Olivia Burley

After finishing my degree in English literature and creative writing, I began volunteering at my local library in a role that focused on administrative duties and interacting with the general public. I loved the connection of these two areas and the ability I had to elevate someone's mood by helping them with their inquiries.
Outside of my volunteer role, I wanted to find a job that would allow me to harness my creative writing skills. This role at Vet Seekers not only allows me to put my admin skills to good use but also engages my creativity when writing interesting job descriptions and informing you of exciting opportunities.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing and taking walks in the countryside. An animal lover at heart, I grew up with lots of cats and currently have one named Thor. -
Alison Hickman
Head of Marketing
I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and very proud of it. Although I currently work very part-time in practice I do regularly volunteer at my local clinic to keep my hand in and skills current. I also locum for them when they need it. The rest of my working time is spent as a PA in my family business and writing my RVN Blog for Vet Seekers.
I am a Pet Auntie to my friends and neighbours dogs and cats. Pet sit? Yes please! Dog walk? Happy to help! I'm stoked to be asked
When I can retire I'll adopt two rescue mutts. That's definitely my future furry goal.
