Ready for your next move and the clinical freedom to grow and develop as a vet? You could be just the person to join our friendly, supportive, independent practice in Windsor.
About Us
Forest House is proud to be a truly independent practice, and we have been established in Windsor for over 120 years. We also have small branch surgeries in Ascot and Egham, both around 15 minutes away. All our branches have free parking.
We were one of the first practices in the country to be awarded Veterinary Hospital status in the 1970s. As a team, we have continued to be dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care and facilities ever since. We encourage new ideas and have continued to invest in the most up-to-date equipment and treatments available. Being privately owned gives us the freedom to make the best decisions to provide the highest levels of care for the animals we look after.
We have a progressive team of 7 vets, including two certificate holders, and we are always open to new ideas and take pride in offering a high standard of care to our clients and our patients. Our vets are fully supported by an excellent team of 11 nurses together with an experienced team of receptionists and admin staff.
Many of our team have been with us for over 10 years, some over 20! A good understanding of the practice and the standards we want to achieve has enabled us to refine many protocols over the years, but we are also always open to new ideas as the profession evolves.
We are a friendly group and support each other at work and outside of work too.
A locum recently commented – ‘These guys are GREAT! A really lovely, fun bunch to work with and working to high standards. One of the best practices I have locumed for.’
Our facilities are some of the best around. Why not take a tour
here!
