Meet the Team

The team at Tonix Health Recruitment has extensive knowledge and experience in the New Zealand health recruitment industry. Tonix Health Recruitment has offices in Christchurch and Auckland, enabling close working relationships with many health providers throughout New Zealand.

Tonix Health Recruitment brings together seven vibrant, effervescent professionals:

Grania Ryan
I hail originally from Dublin, Ireland and have lived in New Zealand for 30 years. I have a breadth of administrative experience spanning the corporate business sector and tertiary education sector. I have particular strengths and experience working with international applicants and families moving to New Zealand. My role is Office Administrator with the Tonix Christchurch office.

Linda Sevier
I am a founding director of Tonix Health Recruitment. My background is as a registered nurse, and I work mainly with mental health nurses, doctors and medical specialists. I am based in Christchurch, living on a small lifestyle property with my partner and two teenaged sons. I was born in Texas and as a child I have lived in various countries so I fully understand how it feels to move to a new country and a new culture.

Kate Jackson
I am a founding director of Tonix Health Recruitment. I registered as a general nurse before traveling overseas and working within the private and national health system in the United Kingdom. When I returned to New Zealand I worked in the community and studied in commerce. I work mostly with registered nurses, midwives, anesthetic technicians and allied health professionals to find suitable employment in New Zealand. Our family loves the tramping opportunities that are on our doorstep and are huge advocates of New Zealand and what it offers everyone.

Virginia Rhodes
I am one of the Directors of Tonix Health Recruitment, I specialise in the recruitment of Mental Health Nurses, Nurses, Medical Radiation Technologists, Speech Language Therapists & Occupational Therapists. I also have a young family so understand the needs of families traveling & working in New Zealand.

Annie O'Donnell
I have a background in nursing and business and really enjoy the people I get to work with in health recruitment. My areas of focus are nursing (registered general and mental health) anaesthetic technicians and allied health. I'm based in Auckland, where I live near the sea with my Australian husband, three children who are growing up too fast and a crazy Jack Russell terrier.

Heidi Ullrich
Hi, I am Heidi, one of the recruitment consultants working with the Tonix team. I have recently returned from the UK where I worked as a nurse and midwife in the NHS. I lived in the UK for 5 years and have travelled extensively through Europe, the UK, Australia, USA and good old New Zealand. Prior to my travels I worked as an Independent Midwife and feel I have a good understanding of the differences between our healthcare systems. I specialise in the recruitment of Midwives and Nurses and love helping people through my work. My husband and I were drawn back to NZ to have our lovely family, as New Zealand for us is everything you could ever ask for.
