Alder Veterinary Practice in Spalding is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join the team.


 

We have two well-established surgeries in the Lincolnshire market towns of Spalding and Bourne, both with loyal client bases built over more than 20 years.

We also have good-sized theatres and consulting rooms.
