Managing Veterinarian Jobs in Camarillo, CA at NVA General Practice
Title: Managing Veterinarian
Company: NVA General Practice
Location: Camarillo, CA
Want to Lead a Hospital…Without Giving Up Being a Veterinarian?
Most Medical Director jobs eventually turn into meetings, schedules, budgets, and trying to figure out why the printer isn’t working. This isn’t one of those jobs.
Las Posas Veterinary Medical Center is looking for a Managing Veterinarian who wants to lead through great medicine—not paperwork.
You’ll still practice medicine. You’ll mentor doctors. You’ll help shape the future of an incredible hospital. We’ll handle the operational headaches so you can focus on what actually matters: patients, people, and practicing the kind of medicine that made you become a veterinarian in the first place.
Our team has 172 years of combined tenure. People don’t stay somewhere for decades because it’s convenient. They stay because they’re respected, supported, challenged, and surrounded by teammates they genuinely enjoy working with.
Since 1993, we’ve proudly served the pets and families of Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, and the surrounding communities. Many of our clients travel from throughout Ventura County and beyond to receive the trusted, compassionate care we’ve provided for over 30 years.
What Your Life Looks Like Here
- Rotating 4- and 5-day work weeks
- No Sundays
- No holidays
- A schedule that respects your time
- Dedicated doctor support (approximately one technician, one assistant, and one CSR per doctor)
Lead Medicine. Not Meetings.
We’re looking for someone who wants to influence medicine—not spend every day buried in spreadsheets.
You’ll
- Maintain an active clinical caseload.
- Mentor and support fellow veterinarians.
- Help elevate medical standards.
- Collaborate with an experienced leadership team.
Never been a Medical Director? That’s okay. If you’re the doctor others turn to for guidance, enjoy mentoring, and value a positive culture, we’ll help you develop the leadership skills needed to thrive as a Managing DVM. With personalized leadership training tailored to your goals, you’ll feel confident and equipped to lead your team.

- Still gets excited about an interesting surgery.
- Can confidently lead a room while making everyone feel heard.
