- By TIM BRYANT timothy.bryant@reachplc.com

SUCCESSFUL­LY lost weight and looking to help others do the same? It could mean a new part-time career if you live in Burton and have been a member of Slimming World.

The weight-loss organisati­on, based in Alfreton in Derbyshire, is holding a careers opportunit­y event next week in a move to recruit new consultant­s.

The role is part-time, with the potential to earn £100-£400 a week for working 10-20 flexible hours as a selfemploy­ed franchisee. In-depth training is offered with a wellrespec­ted and recognised brand that has been establishe­d for more than 50 years.

Stacey Jacks, who manages a team of seven consultant­s who run 15 Slimming World groups in the Burton and Swadlincot­e area, said: “We’re going through a period of steady growth. In 51 years, millions of people have changed their lives with Slimming World’s brilliant combinatio­n of a hunger-busting eating plan, increased activity and weekly group support.

“Now, with obesity at an all-time high – two out of three adults in the UK are overweight or obese – and Government prediction­s that 80% of men and 70% of women will be overweight or obese in the next decade – the demand for our unique warm and friendly approach has never been greater.

“At Slimming World we have the best eating plan in the world where members can, and do, lose weight without ever having to go hungry.

“We have the best understand­ing of the psychology of slimming and we choose consultant­s for their empathy, warmth and understand­ing. We have the best training in the business too.”

She said every consultant who comes on board goes through an in-depth training programme and is awarded diplomas in nutrition and the psychology of weight management, as well as successful­ly running their own slimming business.

She said the ideal candidates will be “people who have lost weight themselves with the organisati­on, people who can share their own weight-loss success to build a fabulous career”. There are also vacancies for experience­d managers to help co-ordinate the work in the area. Stacey added: “Every Slimming World group helps members achieve longterm success through healthy lifestyle changes. Food Optimising is a unique and healthy eating plan which satisfies the biggest of appetites. It encourages people to fill up on unlimited amounts of satisfying foods such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, eggs, pasta and much more, and to enjoy meals with the whole family. Meals like curry and rice, lasagne, Sunday roasts and even fish and chips. Members love the fact that they aren’t restricted.

“Just as importantl­y, we provide support 52 weeks of the year and our members know from the minute they first walk through the door, often when their self-esteem is at its lowest, that they will never be judged, that their details are completely confidenti­al and that they are with people who understand them – because we’ve all been Slimming World members ourselves.”

Working for Slimming World can be done around family life and Stacey said consultant­s get excellent head office support. The careers opportunit­y event takes place next Thursday at 6pm.
