Who are Demob Job?

Demob Job was established in 2005 by our Managing Director Adrian Cheesman after he completed a successful full career in The Royal Corps of Signals.

His vision was to build an ethical and professional recruitment business which would champion the employability of personnel who have previously served in our Armed Forces; Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Since those early days we have continued to grow and now have a focused team of consultants delivering permanent recruitment services to clients all over the UK and overseas.

Our future looks bright as we continue to prosper through planned growth.

Candidate Testimonials

Mitchel (ex Royal Navy Aeronautical Engineering Technician)

Jack and I connected on linked in a little over a month ago and ever since he has been a brilliant asset to finding my next career. He found numerous job roles that fitted my criteria, coached me through the roles and interview techniques, and ultimately assisted in me getting my new position.  Jack kept me well updated through the whole process and I really felt he had my best interests.  I could not recommend Jack enough to anyone who is leaving the forces and looking to transition into civilian life.  Mitchel is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in Somerset.

John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)

“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy.  Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with.  Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role.  I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”.  John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.

Cameron (ex-Royal Navy Leading Marine Engineering Mechanic)

“Since day one both Joanne and Demob Job have been fantastic. From the off, I was instantly put at ease and the worry and anxiety of leaving the armed forces and finding employment, quickly evaporated.  Joanne was fantastic in her role. Clearly working hard and diligently to find me the best possible job to fit my criteria. She was a fantastic listener, great motivator and was great at reassuring me following challenging interviews and tests.  Overall, I cannot recommend Demob Job enough. Their ability to find work for service leavers is brilliant and thanks to them I feel optimistic and excited for my future on civvy street.  Thank you for everything Joanne”.  Cameron is now employed as a Shift Maintenance Technician in County Durham.

Paul (Ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

“The team at Demob Job are not just a recruitment agency, they are also a support network to help match you with an employer, guide you through the recruitment process, and check up on your wellbeing after the whole process is completed.  These are the people to go to when you are leaving your Armed Forces career.  I cannot thank Demob Job enough for making me feel so valued, I cannot wait to start my new career”.  Paul is about to start his new job as an Engineer Surveyor in Shropshire.

Dean (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

Demob Job and especially Joanne Foster were exceptional in finding me a new role. Persistently I had been turned down for a role at the final stage as I was apparently too good, only to be refused a position above this (same company different site) as I did not have experience.  Joanne consulted with the employer and explained my case which thankfully led to interviews and, I am glad to say, an offer of employment which I have accepted. I can honestly say if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Joanne and the Demob Job team, I would not have secured this new job.  I would highly recommend them to all service leavers!  Dean is now employed as an Engineering Shift Leader in Castle Donnington, Derbyshire.

Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)

Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy.  After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job.  After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search.  Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled.  I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job.  Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.

Ian (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

I just want to say a massive thank you to Joanne and the Demob Job team. Having left the Armed Forces after 23-years’ service and not knowing what the process of getting/finding a new job was, Joanne made the process easy and clear from the beginning. I have now started the next chapter in my life and got a second career. Ian is now an Electrical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.
