About Dis-Chem Health Focus
Dis-Chem’s Health Focus department is the company’s dedicated vitamins, supplements, sports nutrition, and natural health section — one of the largest and most comprehensive retail health supplement ranges in South Africa. As consumer demand for vitamins, immune support, weight management, sports nutrition, and natural wellness products grows, the Health Consultant role has become one of the most commercially significant and personally rewarding positions in the Dis-Chem store.
The Sandown Crossing store in Parklands serves Cape Town’s health-conscious northern suburbs community — a demographic with above-average wellness product awareness and purchasing power, making this one of the strongest Health Focus environments in the Western Cape network.
Purpose of the Role
The Health Consultant is responsible for effectively promoting and selling Dis-Chem Health Focus products — including vitamins, supplements, and health foods — through consistent expert customer service, professional personal selling, targeted merchandising, and achievement of monthly team, brand, and vendor sales targets, while maintaining the Health Department’s administrative, stock, and display standards.
Key Responsibilities – Health Consultant
Customer Advisory & Personal Selling
- Assist and advise customers on vitamins, supplements, and health products — providing expert, evidence-informed guidance that helps customers find the most appropriate products for their health goals.
- Ensure the highest levels of customer care and service are maintained at all times — building trusted, professional relationships with the Parklands health-conscious customer base.
- Achieve monthly team, brand, and vendor sales targets — applying personal selling skills, product knowledge, and promotional awareness to drive Health Focus department revenue.
- Keep abreast with new products and product lines — continuously updating product knowledge to provide current, credible advice to customers on new launches, formulations, and health trends.
Merchandising & Display
- Keep merchandise displays in the Health Focus area fully stocked and faced up — ensuring all vitamins and supplement ranges are professionally presented and accessible to customers at all times.
- Adhere to store layouts within the Health Department — maintaining planogram compliance and the correct positioning of all product ranges.
- Ensure broadsheet items are well displayed, merchandised, promoted, and available — capitalising on promotional opportunities to drive incremental sales.
- Implement promotional displays and merchandising material — executing brand and vendor promotions professionally and on time.
- Report all price discrepancies to management as they appear — maintaining pricing accuracy across the Health Focus department.
Stock Control & Administration
- Follow the Health Department’s administrative processes and procedures — including weekly returns, stock control, and monitoring of stock levels.
- Assist with back shopping when requested — supporting the effective operation of the department and store.

Frequently Asked Questions – Health Consultant Jobs South Africa
What vitamins and supplements will I be advising customers on? Dis-Chem’s Health Focus range is one of the most comprehensive in South African retail — covering vitamin and mineral supplements, immune support, omega fatty acids, probiotics, weight management products, sports nutrition (protein, creatine, pre-workout, recovery), herbal and botanical supplements, collagen, sleep support, and natural health foods. The Health Consultant must develop working knowledge across the full range — with particular depth in the highest-turnover categories relevant to the Parklands community.
Is a science degree required or just advantageous? A BSc Biomedicine, BSc Biotechnology, or related health qualification is listed as advantageous — not essential. Candidates with strong retail sales experience in a vitamins or health environment, combined with self-developed product knowledge and a Grade 12, are fully eligible to apply. However, candidates with relevant science degrees are specifically welcomed — and may find that their academic background provides a competitive advantage in demonstrating credibility to health-conscious Parklands customers.
What does “vendor and brand targets” mean in the context of this role? Major supplement brands (including Vital, Solal, USN, Biogen, Swisse, Pharma Dynamics, and others) supply Dis-Chem’s Health Focus department and typically set monthly sales targets for their product lines at individual stores. The Health Consultant is responsible for achieving these brand-specific targets alongside the department’s overall team target — often supported by brand promoters, vendor sales training, and in-store promotional activations. Strong vendor relationship management and brand-specific product knowledge are therefore commercially important competencies.
How does this Health Consultant role differ from the other Dis-Chem Sandown Crossing posts? The Health Consultant is the only commission-earning, sales-targeted role among the four Sandown Crossing / Western Cape Dis-Chem vacancies in this batch — and the only one that values health science qualifications. The Frontshop Assistant focuses on general merchandising and POS transactions; the Retail Store Assistant manages broader store operations including SAP and receiving; the Online Administrator (Somerset Mall) manages Click & Collect fulfilment. The Health Consultant is the most specialised and commercially performance-driven of the four roles.
