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
Dave (Ex Royal Engineers)
“I saw a post on LinkedIn about Demob Job and then signed up to their site. I continued to monitor for updates, looking for interesting engineering roles in my area. Once a role grabbed my attention I applied through their site and not long after received a call from Adrian Cheesman. He talked through my experience, expectations, the employer and the realities of the role. I have since received an offer of employment and would like to express my sincere thanks to Adrian and Joanne Foster at Demob for their help, support and guidance throughout this process. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving or thinking of leaving the military with an Engineering/Technical background as a route to employment!”. Dave is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in West Yorkshire.
Daniel (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Demob Job has been fantastic in helping me find a job in my final months of employment with the Royal Air Force. Joanne Foster was excellent from my application to confirming my new role as a Commissioning Engineer. Joanne helped me to prepare for my interview, gave me tips and advice along with a comprehensive brief on the company. Ultimately Joanne kept in regular contact to ensure my transition was as smooth as possible. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job for anyone who is due to leave the military and is seeking new employment. Daniel is now a Commissioning Engineer based in West Midlands.
Chris (ex Royal Air Force – Radar Technician)
Leaving the military is a daunting thought for everyone. But to leave when a pandemic is in full swing really made me rethink my options. However, after speaking with Adrian at Demob Job, my mind was at ease. We spoke about what I was looking for with regards to my future. After only days he found what I can only describe, as a dream job for me. From then on the process was swift. I never felt alone and Adrian was there every step of the way. A few months ago I was petrified about how I would pay to keep a roof over my head. Now I’m comfortably in a job I enjoy. I can’t thank Adrian and Demob Job enough for getting me on the right path to a fulfilling career. Now a Maintenance Engineer in London
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.
Laurence (served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)
"After leaving the Royal Navy I was promptly contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job; Joanne almost immediately found several roles that matched my skill set as well as what I was looking for. On my way back from one interview she put me forward for the job I have now gladly accepted. Perfect for both location and opportunity to allow me to utilise my skills. Constantly trying to find the best job for me from the start as well as keeping me updated at every step, I would highly recommend Demob Job to any service leaver!”. Laurence is now employed as an Engineering Technician in Manchester.
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.
Fleet Air Arm to Project Engineer: recruitment support from start to finish
"After serving in the Royal Navy for over 18 years, I was approaching my leaving date and growing nervous about finding a job I truly wanted in time. A few days after uploading my CV to several sites, Joanne Foster from Demob Job reached out, and I instantly felt at ease. She guided me through what the job entailed and kept in touch throughout the entire interview process. I’ve now accepted the role, and I can’t thank Joanne enough for everything she has done. I highly recommend her and Demob Job to any service leaver." – Former Fleet Air Arm member, now a Project Engineer.
