What qualifications do I need?
You don’t need any formal qualifications to apply. Having the right personal qualities – being warm and caring, as well as being able to inspire and uplift others, through your own experience as a Slimming World member – is more important to us.
If you can bring a passion for helping people to achieve their weight loss dreams, as well as an open mind and willingness to learn how best to support slimmers through their journey, we’ll provide all the training you need to succeed – delivered by our expert team at our state-of-the-art Slimming World Academy with other trainee Consultants from around the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Do I need to be a Slimming World memberto apply?
Yes. If you’re a current Slimming World member, or have been a member in the past, we’d love to hear from you. As a member, you’ll bring the added experience of having lost weight with us – whether you’re close to or at your target. You’ll have fallen in love with Food Optimising, our healthy way of eating; you’ll have been motivated to get more active through our activity programme, Body Magic; and above all, you’ll be passionate about sharing with others the inspiration, care and support you received in your Slimming World group, maintaining the exceptional standard of service that our members deserve.

What personal qualities do I need?
We look for people with a positive outlook, who genuinely care about the health and happiness of others, and who are determined to help members achieve weight loss success through the Slimming World plan. Whether you’re confident and outgoing or more reserved, as a Consultant, you’ll be kind, warm, non-judgmental, and keen to share the knowledge that you’ve attained during your head office training through the support and encouragement you offer to your group.
Anna Mangan is celebrating 10 years as a Slimming World Consultant. She says:
“The community created within Slimming World groups is absolutely magical. Having a place where there’s no judgement and no humiliation, where you can really get to the root of any weight loss issues and feel truly uplifted by people who understand, makes such a difference.
Of course, as much as I genuinely love helping other people, my role has to work for me and the life I want to lead, too. Having so much flexibility around where, when and how much I want to work is so freeing. I have the power to set my own work/life balance, and to influence my own earning power, too.”
