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

Kevin (completed a 25-year career in the Royal Artillery)

Emma, thank you for contacting me regarding a new job opportunity.  Your help, support, and guidance throughout the whole process were second to none.  You are an asset to Demob Job, and I will be recommending you and your team to friends leaving the Armed Forces.  Once again, a big thank you, and I wish you and the Demob Job team every success.  Kevin is now employed as a Warehouse Team Leader in the North East.

Andy (Royal Air Force – Avionics Engineer)

I applied for a position that I found on the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) website which sounded like it would suit me. A short time later I was contacted by Joanne from Demob Job with some more details about the role. I said that I was interested in the position and that I would like to be put forward for it. Having read through my CV, Joanne suggested a few tweaks to better suit the position which I decided would be a good idea. After only a few days I had an interview lined up and was offered the position starting a month later. Before my first day I was contacted weekly by Joanne to ensure everything was going well and if I needed any advice with my transition from military to civilian life. Overall, the service was first class and thanks to Joanne and the Demob Job team I have now started my first job as a ‘civvy’.

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.

Jack (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

“Demob Job, have been amazing in helping me secure my new career.  As a service leaver, having served many years in the Royal Air Force, joining the civilian world was daunting. But finding Demob Job was exactly what I needed, they understood my position and made everything as pain-free as possible.  I was introduced to the employer and an interview was arranged within 24 hours.  Throughout the process, Demob Job kept in touch and helped me prepare for the interview, giving me some great advice.  I was offered the job, and again, Adrian called congratulating me giving me all the information on the next steps, staying in touch right up to my first day in my new job. I would give Demob Job 10 out of 10”.  Jack is now an Engineer Surveyor in Essex.

Andrew (ex Royal Air Force – Mechanical Aircraft Technician)

Thanks for all the help and support I’ve received from Joanne at Demob Job with this transition to a new career of Field Service Technician. You’ve provided great knowledge about the company, role and some very useful tips for both interview stages pointing out transferable skills that can be taken from a military background. Thanks again I wouldn’t have been successful without your help.  Now a Mechanical Field Service Technician covering Liverpool and Manchester
