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

Colin (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

I saw a job advertised through Demob Job and thought ‘this is me’ and I applied.  Joanne was very quickly on the case.  I found her to be very friendly, helpful and very professional.  She helped me through the application and interview process with advice and guidance and I was lucky enough to get the job.  I am truly very grateful to Joanne and the fantastic Demob Job team and would absolutely recommend Joanne and Demob-Job.  Brilliant! Thank you all, Colin. Maintenance Engineer, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

Dave (Ex Royal Engineers)

“I saw a post on LinkedIn about Demob Job and then signed up to their site. I continued to monitor for updates, looking for interesting engineering roles in my area.  Once a role grabbed my attention I applied through their site and not long after received a call from Adrian Cheesman.  He talked through my experience, expectations, the employer and the realities of the role.  I have since received an offer of employment and would like to express my sincere thanks to Adrian and Joanne Foster at Demob for their help, support and guidance throughout this process.  I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving or thinking of leaving the military with an Engineering/Technical background as a route to employment!”.  Dave is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in West Yorkshire.

George (Ex Royal Navy Electrical Engineer)

“After leaving the Royal Navy I was contacted by Joanne Foster after uploading my CV online. She already had a perfect job opportunity for me and after deciding it was for me, she acted on my behalf excellently. She was a great and consistent communicator who provided everything I needed for applying including interview advice. I highly recommend Joanne and Demob Job”.  George is now employed as an Electrical Engineer in London.

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.

Darren (ex-Royal Air Force Regiment)

Kelly, I am thrilled to provide a testimonial for your exceptional work of securing me a job. You displayed remarkable professionalism, dedication and expertise in the recruitment process and your attention to detail and understanding were second to none. The guidance you provided throughout the process plus your support was invaluable, ensuring a seamless transition into my new job role. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you!”.  Darren is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in Northamptonshire.

From REME Aircraft Engineer to Engineer Surveyor: Expert Support Every Step of the Way

"Kelly reached out to me about a role she was working on helping me through the application process. She talked me through the kind of technical questions I could expect in the interview, which made a big difference going in prepared. She also chased things up with the company keeping me posted on where things stood, so I always knew what was happening rather than being left guessing. From first contact to actually starting the job was about 6 weeks, which felt like a genuinely quick and straightforward process. Would highly recommend."  Zav previously served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as an Aircraft Engineer, now employed as an Engineer Surveyor.
