Gillian was working as a manager in the health and fi tness industry when she joined
Slimming World as a member in 2004. After losing over 3½ stones, she was inspired
to become a Consultant and open her very own group, which she ran in addition to
her full-time job. In 2011, Gillian moved into the role of District Manager and now leads
a team of 10 managers and 90 Consultants, helping thousands of members in groups
all over east Scotland achieve their weight loss dreams each year.“Being a District Manager for Slimming World is a dream for me, in so many ways.
I’m working for a supportive company whose culture and methods I love, I’m drawing on
all my senior management experience – and I’m making a genuine difference to thousands
of members’ health and happiness. It’s a varied, fl exible role – so one day I’ll be running a
recruitment event or a training session for my team and the next I’ll be on the road visiting
local groups or heading down to our Head Offi ce in Derbyshire. The expectations of me as
a District Manager are high. It’s a challenging role and I work incredibly hard – but it’s so
fulfi lling and I’m always smiling. Supporting Consultants to run a fl ourishing business –
one that changes and even saves lives – is everything I’ve ever wanted in a leadership role.”For more information and to apply, visit slimmingworld.co.uk/dmcareers
