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.

“Emma has been fantastic from day one when I applied for a job through Demob Job. She has a great understanding of how the transition from the military to civilian life works so knows exactly how to help you. Emma kept in touch regularly providing me with updates on the status of my job application, and even if there was no update she would be in contact just to offer me reassurance that I had not been forgotten about! She was able to provide helpful tips and really does put 110% effort into helping you. Overall, a friendly and helpful professional who is very knowledgeable in helping ex-military jobseekers gain employment. I will be highly recommending Emma and the Demob Job team to others.” Sam is now employed as a Field Service Engineer working within the fuel sector.

Leaving the Royal Navy After 22 Years: How Demob Job Helped Me Find the Right Civilian Role
"Initially seeing a job advertised on Demob Job, I applied using the easy tool. Attach CV, write a short cover letter, and send. My hiring person, Kelly Chandler, was in contact with me as soon as I thought possible. Explaining everything that is and is yet to come during application, interviews and just general questions. Very easy to get know and talk to, genuine person, very approachable and understanding. After the first interview, I was kept in touch with for any details in a very timely manner, just enough to know exactly where my application was at, at whatever stage. Nothing was any bother to ask and was quick to alleviate any concerns I had. A great experience that has really helped with the daunting process of leaving the armed forces after over 22 years. Fantastic service, thank you Kelly". Andrew served in the Royal Navy as a Weapons & Sensors Engineer and is now employed as a Service Engineer in the medical sector.
Mark (ex REME Avionics Technician)
I phoned Demob Job to enquire about a job I had seen advertised which closely matched my skill set. I was put in touch with Joanne at Demob Job who explained the vacancy in detail and discussed my background and expectations. This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. The interview was a three-step process, one interview by phone, and two further interviews face to face. Joanne kept in constant touch with myself and the employer making sure that I knew what to expect and that I was fully prepared for each interview. Without Joanne`s help, support, and encouragement, it would have been extremely unlikely that I would have got the job. Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy. I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite. Field Service Engineer, North West
Anthony (Royal Air Force Engineering Manager)
“Having uploaded my CV to various sites (LinkedIn, CV-Library etc) I started to receive calls from numerous recruitment agents. I quickly discovered many of these agents were merely utilising algorithms to match keywords with job specs. I found myself asking some if they’d actually read my CV as the roles being suggested where miles away from my skill set! Joanne at Demob job couldn’t have been further away from this in her approach. Warm and friendly from the outset with a genuine interest in my experience and intended career direction. By the end of the first call, it was evident time had been invested to match me with the role on offer. Her continued support throughout the whole interview process was most welcome and soon alleviated any unease felt towards my first interview in over 30 years. I’m pleased to say that despite my initial nerves the outcome was successful. Contact details for Demob Job should be included in all career transition workshops, they provide a service that can only be described as superb.” Anthony is now employed as an Engineering Auditor.
Rob (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)
Excellent recruitment company, love to focus on ex military and as we all know, leaving the Armed Forces is a big step, always stay in contact with you and keep you updated with your process. This was the very first job I applied for, and I was successful, and in the field I wanted, my consultant was Emma Saxton. 10 out of 10 for the effort she put in, no complaints. Rob is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the Gloucestershire area.
