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
From REME soldier to Operations Director: Demob Job recruitment support
"After first seeing a job advertised for an Operations Director and, submitting an application, Demob Job has been nothing short of amazing. Joanne Foster took the time to fully understand both mine and the client’s requirements to ensure I was the right person for the job. I was kept updated at all stages of the interview process and was delighted to be offered the role. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanne and the team at Demob Job for any ex-military engineers looking for a new opportunity." – Former Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) member, now an Operations Director in North Yorkshire.
Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)
I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer. She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector. Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process. I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help. I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future. Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland
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.
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.

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.
