Slob studied History. He started his political career as a member of the city council of Zwolle from 1993 to 2001. In 2001, Slob became a member of the House of Representatives for the Reformed Political League (GPV) when its leader Gert Schutte retired. After the 2002 elections, the newly formed ChristianUnion lost a seat, and Slob did not return to parliament. When lijsttrekker Kars Veling stepped down as a result of the election loss, Slob took his place. He was put on the second place of the list of ChristianUnion candidates for the 2003 elections, and was re-elected.

After the 2006 general elections, Slob and party lijsttrekker André Rouvoet represented the ChristianUnion in the negotiations for the formation of the new Dutch government.

Slob was a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Infrastructural Projects.

Slob retired from politics on 1 December 2015. On his departure from the House he was made Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau. He was replaced by Eppo Bruins. Slob is director of the Historical Center Overijssel per 1 January 2016.
