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

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.

“I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Foster during my recent job search, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support.

I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive recruitment professional”.  Jamie served close to 10 years in the Royal Navy as a qualified Marine Engineer.  He is now employed as a Project Engineer within a leading Defence company.

Luke (ex-Royal Signals Communications Systems Engineer)

Joanne approached me upon finding my CV online, she was very friendly and extremely enthusiastic about the role she matched to me. Joanne had a very good understanding of my skills interpenetrated from my CV and understood my background well. Throughout the whole process Joanne kept me informed of any news very promptly and I believe she liaised with the company to the highest standard. I would recommend Joanne and DEMOB JOB to any of my colleagues that may leave the forces in the future. Communications Systems Engineering Team Leader, Manchester

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.

Ben (ex-Royal Air Force – Mechanical Ground Engineer)

I registered with Demob Job in July and within 36 hours Joanne contacted me regarding an exciting opportunity.  Joanne spoke with me about the role and took some further information regarding my professional qualifications and skills. Within one week of being introduced, I had an interview arranged which resulted in me being offered the position.  I am delighted with Joanne as she was she sticks to her word, is courteous and the whole experience has been ideal.

From Army Infantry to Stores Assistant: I cannot recommend Demob Job enough

“Right from the beginning Demob Job stood out, this started from reading the online job advert and me contacting them.  Everything about the vacancy was just superb telling you everything you needed to know.  Within an hour of applying Kelly Chandler from Demob Job was in touch.  Kelly puts you at ease and asks all the relevant questions for the employer and also answers all your questions making sure everything is ok.  All through the recruitment process Kelly was fantastic, informing and supporting me at every step. On the morning of the interview Kelly called me to make sure I was ok allowing me to ask any last-minute questions. After the interview yet again Kelly was superb.  Demob and Kelly were just superb from start to finish making the whole experience pleasant during what is normally a nervous and stressful time. Well done Demob Job, I can't recommend you enough, professional and outstanding all the way!” – Former British Army Infantry, now a Stores Assistant.

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
