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

Sean (ex-Royal Navy)

“I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset.  Joanne contacted me about a job that she thought would match up with my previous role.  She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself.  With Joanne's help I secured a job in an industry which will only expand in the future.  I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career.” – now a Field Service Engineer in the North East

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.

Matt (ex-Royal Navy Assistant Marine Engineering Officer)

I was contacted by Emma having just left the Royal Navy about helping to find me work. After discussing my background and experience she spoke to me in detail about a role which she thought was a strong fit.  I consequently applied and was invited for an interview. Within hours of attending the interview Emma contacted me and told me I had been successful. Throughout the whole process she kept me informed of my progress and gave me advice on how to prepare for the interview. Most importantly I felt like she treated me as a person and not just another case. Highly professional and polite, I couldn’t recommend them enough to any Ex-Forces personnel. Thank you Emma and thank you Demob Job! Project Engineer, Tyne and Wear

Jake (served in the Royal Navy as a Leading Hand Weapons Engineer)

“I was searching for a new role and was contacted by Kelly Chandler at Demob Job after I applied for a job advertised. She was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel reassured by something relatively new to me. After I had accepted the role, we kept in touch as she continually checked up to see how things were progressing with the company.  Kelly’s support in securing a new job made the whole situation a lot easier”.  Jake is now an Assistant Project Manager in Hampshire.

From Royal Signals to Contract Manager: How Demob Job Helped Me Break the Cycle of Rejections

“Exceptional support throughout my job application from a truly dedicated professional recruiter. After 3 months of job hunting, and over 300 unsuccessful job applications, I was approached by Joanne Foster from Demob Job. She had found a job that aligned with my experience and previous military career perfectly. From the very first conversation, Joanne took the time to understand not just my CV, but what I was actually looking for. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, keeping me updated, preparing me for interviews and ensuring I had the best possible chance of success. Her professionalism, dedication and personal approach made the whole process smooth and stress free. Thanks to Joanne’s support, I have secured a position that suits me exceptionally well and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job without hesitation to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable and committed recruitment partner. Again, thank you for your support Joanne, I am truly grateful.” Lee served in the Royal Corps of Signals and is now employed as a Contract Manager.

Matthew (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

This is the first time I have used Demob Job and I must say I'm very impressed.  Joanne was very efficient in arranging an interview, highlighting my key skills and attributes to the employer. I successfully managed to capture the role I applied for and I look forward to my new career path. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone who is leaving the Armed Forces and is looking for a new and exciting role.  Matthew is now employed as a Service Engineer within the Energy Sector.

Michelle (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

I cannot recommend Demob Job enough.  Within 4 hours of applying for a position, Kim had called me to introduce herself and the agency, contacted the employer, secured me an interview and sent me a comprehensive email detailing who, what, where, why and when!  She kept in touch throughout the whole process and I'm pleased to say I attended the interview and was successful. I have dealt with many agencies including some of the 'big' names and none came close to the professionalism and thorough work of Kim at Demob Job. Thank you. Technical Sales Engineer, Cheshire
