Supervisory Vet

Supervisory Veterinarian – Pet Universe (South Australia)

Lead Clinically. Mentor Confidently. Focus on What Matters Most.

Are you an experienced Veterinarian who is passionate about clinical excellence, mentoring, and developing the next generation of vets—but not interested in practice finances or business management?

Pet Universe, part of the growing CVS Vets Australia group, is seeking a Supervisory Veterinarian to provide clinical oversight and mentorship across our two well-established South Australian practices. This is a purely clinical mentorship role with no financial or profit-and-loss responsibility, allowing you to focus on what you do best: assisting the Clinical Director in setting clinical standards, supporting veterinarians, and delivering exceptional patient care.

This is an ideal opportunity for a senior vet or clinical lead who wants influence without business pressure.
