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

Noel (ex REME Avionic Technician)

Just before I was made redundant I received a phone call from Emma at Demob Job having previously registered on their web site. She asked if I would be interested in applying for a Field Service Manager position. I was sceptical at first but she convinced me to make an application. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at the interview but gained some valuable feedback which suggested that I may be more suited to a hands-on role as a Field Service Technician.  This led to a further interview and, I am glad to say, a job offer. If I had not let Emma convince me to attend the initial interview I would probably never have even tried for the second position. I would have no hesitation to recommend both Emma and Demob Job to my ex-military colleagues. Field Support Technician, Dorset

Curtis (ex Royal Navy Electrical & Electronic Engineer)

A big ‘thank you’ to the Demob Job team, my first phone call with Emma gave me a positive feeling that they would find something for me. Joanne was brilliant in keeping me informed during the process and helped secure a position in a role that I had requested in my initial criteria. Would highly recommend to any ex-military to register!'. Curtis is now employed as an Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.

Kieran (ex Royal Navy Aircraft Engineering Technician)

Demob Job were a great help during my final months in the Royal Navy, helping me to make the transition into civilian employment seamless. Emma Saxton went above and beyond helping me get prepared and ready for interviews, giving me advise and tips specific to the company which I was interested in joining. Even after securing employment Emma was very helpful by making sure everything was running smoothly right up to the day I started and beyond. I would recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving the Armed Forces.  Kieran is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in West Yorkshire.

Joanne Foster’s support has directly helped me secure a new job as a Mechanical Project Engineer

"I discovered Demob Job on LinkedIn and registered my details. Joanne Foster contacted me shortly after and, although there were no vacancies in my location, she offered to assist with my job search. We discussed my skills and experience, and Joanne proactively reached out to local companies on my behalf. Thankfully, I received interest from several companies, and after going through the interview process, I secured a job offer that I was happy to accept. Joanne was attentive, proactive, and kept me well-informed throughout, providing excellent advice. Overall, my experience with Demob Job was smooth and pleasant, and I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything!" – Former Royal Navy Leading Engineering Technician (LET), now a Mechanical Project Engineer.

Rob (ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME))

Joanne Foster and the Demob Job team were instrumental in supporting myself and my application in finding a new and fulfilling role, in an industry where my skillset fits and has the opportunity to develop further. Joanne fully supported me from the initial telephone conversation and numerous interviews to my first week in role assuring that the role was a fit for me as well as the company.  Many recruiters disappear once the Job offer has been made, not Demob Job.  The team continues to offer advice and support to ex-service individuals via their website and social media for no-return, this is a company with honest intentions to support ex-forces.  I cannot recommend Demob Job highly enough.  Rob is now employed as a Systems Auditor in Wiltshire.

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.

Gemma (ex Royal Armoured Corps and Royal Corps of Signals)

Leaving the British Army during a pandemic was something I never expected to happen. I was quite concerned with the employment opportunities, however I managed to find a job I was interested in and applied to Joanne at Demob Job.  Joanne rang me the very next day to set up an interview.  The communication was second to none through the whole process, and Joanne was brilliant. Joanne gave me some brilliant advice to prep for my interview and even followed up on the day.  I am proud to say the interview was successful and I was offered the job which would start only two weeks later. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joanne for making my transition into civilian life seamless.  Gemma is now employed as a Telecommunications Apprentice Trainer in Wiltshire.
