Alder Veterinary Practice in Spalding are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join the team!

About Us

We have two very well-established surgeries in the Lincolnshire market towns of Spalding and Bourne, both of which have a loyal client base of well over 20 years. We are situated close to the historic town of Stamford where you can visit Burghley House, Burghley Horse Trials, or Rutland Water, and Peterborough is approximately half an hour away with direct train lines into London.

Our Veterinary Surgeons will always talk through all options of care with our clients to ensure they are making the most informed choices, and we work closely with various referral practices to be able to offer that option if required. As an area we have very close relationships with our neighbouring practices and often discuss cases and share opinions with each other .

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Practice Highlights

Both practices are equipped with digital radiography (recently purchased and upgraded to DR system), ultrasounds including a brand new state of the art machine , dental x-ray , and in-house blood testing equipment. We also have good-sized theatres and consult rooms for our varied first opinion cases.

Our friendly team comprises of 3 Veterinary Surgeons, 5 experienced Registered Veterinary Nurses, and a full team of Receptionists. None of us could do our jobs properly without each other! We are a very encouraging team who are always willing to step in and work together in times of need and we work hard to provide the highest standards in client and animal care.
