Slimming experts in Athlone are celebrating a successful year after helping members of the local community lose a total of 687 stone!
Now they have launched a campaign to recruit more individuals with a passion for assisting others for the “best work in the world” with a special Slimming World careers opportunity event to take place at the Sheraton Hotel Athlone on August 22 at 7pm.
Pauline Bliss, who manages the local team of consultants who host Slimming World groups in Westmeath and Roscommon, stated that there has been a period of steady growth in recent years.
“With Slimming World, an endless number of people have changed their lives with our brilliant combination of a hunger-busting eating plan, increased activity and weekly group support.
“Even before the recent Covid-19 lockdown, obesity was at an all-time high with two out of three adults in the Ireland overweight or obese. Government predictions say that 80% of men and 70% of women will be overweight or obese in the next decade so 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. Each 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.
”Slimming World is looking for people who have lost weight themselves with the organisation, those who can share their own weight-loss success to build a fabulous career.
“Every Slimming World group helps members achieve long-term 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. 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,” Pauline enthused.
Slimming World consultants are all former members. The role is part-time, with the potential to earn excellent income for working just 10-20 flexible hours as a self-employed franchisee. In-depth training is offered with a well-respected and recognised brand that has been established for more than 54 years and all consultants get the benefit of excellent support from more than 300 head office staff based in Alfreton, Derbyshire.
Slimming World provides administrative support, centralised marketing and PR, stock services, a host of up-to-the-minute website support plus nutrition and research expertise. Those looking for a career that offers opportunities for growth and development and flexibility around family life could find that opening a Slimming World group offers the perfect solution.

“This information evening is very informal and you can bring a friend along for support, if you are even the tiniest bit curious, we would love to see you there so we can let you know what it’s all about and answer any questions you might have,” Pauline concluded.
