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

Jack (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

“Demob Job, have been amazing in helping me secure my new career.  As a service leaver, having served many years in the Royal Air Force, joining the civilian world was daunting. But finding Demob Job was exactly what I needed, they understood my position and made everything as pain-free as possible.  I was introduced to the employer and an interview was arranged within 24 hours.  Throughout the process, Demob Job kept in touch and helped me prepare for the interview, giving me some great advice.  I was offered the job, and again, Adrian called congratulating me giving me all the information on the next steps, staying in touch right up to my first day in my new job. I would give Demob Job 10 out of 10”.  Jack is now an Engineer Surveyor in Essex.

Mark (ex-Royal Signals Radio Technician)

I saw a position advertised on the Demob Job website that caught my interest and seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.  I zapped a copy of my C.V with a  covering letter over to Joanne at and she called me back within an hour.  Joanne said that she thought my skills set matched most of those required by the prospective employer. Anyway, to cut a short story short, Joanne managed to get me an interview within a couple of days and the rest is history.   My experience with Demob Job has been extremely positive all the way through; very polite, very courteous and very discreet. Unlike other agencies where you get passed around from one person to another, the whole process was managed by one person.  Joanne kept in constant contact to make sure that things were on track.  I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job recruitment agency to all ex-military. They do a great job! Thanks, Joanne, I start my new job on Monday. Electronics Assembly & Test Engineer, Carlisle, Cumbria
