What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinarian position at NVA General Practice?
Associate Veterinarian – East Ventura Animal Hospital | Ventura, CA
Are you a passionate veterinarian looking for a practice where you'll feel supported, valued, and genuinely excited to come to work? East Ventura Animal Hospital has been a cornerstone of compassionate pet care in Ventura, CA since 1981 — and we're looking for an Associate Veterinarian who shares our belief that every client deserves to feel like family, and every patient deserves our very best.
A Practice Worth Joining
You'll be joining a close-knit, four-doctor team in a completely renovated, modern facility equipped with everything you need to practice exceptional medicine — from in-house IDEXX diagnostics and digital dental X-ray to a dedicated surgery suite and new Core Imaging Ultrasound. We're paper-light, forward-thinking, and genuinely invested in doing great work together. Team activities (such as painting nights and escape rooms) aren't just perks — they're a reflection of who we are.
The Role
As an Associate Veterinarian, you'll be an integral part of a collaborative, multi-doctor practice where quality medicine and exceptional client service are at the heart of everything we do.
Key Responsibilities Include
Ventura is one of California's best-kept secrets. You're minutes from stunning Pacific coastline, hiking trails with hidden waterfalls, and a vibrant local food and arts scene — and less than two hours from Los Angeles. San Diego, Las Vegas, the Sierra Nevada, and San Francisco are all within a day's drive. If you want California living without the big-city pace, Ventura delivers.
Qualifications
Candidates must be a graduate of an AVMA-accredited veterinary college, or have successfully completed the ECFVG or PAVE certification programs.
