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

Simon (Scots Guards)

Having applied for a role, I was contacted by Joanne, from Demob Job, very quickly.  She took my details whilst asking pertinent questions that allowed her to judge my suitability for the role in a very quick and professional manner.  Her communication with me throughout the process was faultless, and her openness to solving any issues was second to none.  Joanne made what could potentially have been a fraught process extremely simple.  I have no hesitation in recommending both Joanne and Demob Job to any veteran seeking a new position; you will not be disappointed.  Simon is now a Contract Manager in Dorset).

From REME Vehicle Mechanic to Engineer Technician: Jack’s Civilian Career Breakthrough

“After being on the lookout for jobs for a while, I didn’t think I was getting anywhere until I applied through Demob Job. Once I had applied, I didn’t have to wait long before I was contacted by Joanne Foster, who oversaw the whole process and kept me in the loop throughout. I was fortunate enough to get the job, and even after being offered the role, Joanne stayed in contact to make sure the process of starting was as easy as it could have been.” Jack served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as a Vehicle Mechanic and is now employed as an Engineer Technician within the Energy sector.

Noel (ex REME Avionic Technician)

Just before I was made redundant I received a phone call from Emma at Demob Job having previously registered on their web site. She asked if I would be interested in applying for a Field Service Manager position. I was sceptical at first but she convinced me to make an application. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at the interview but gained some valuable feedback which suggested that I may be more suited to a hands-on role as a Field Service Technician.  This led to a further interview and, I am glad to say, a job offer. If I had not let Emma convince me to attend the initial interview I would probably never have even tried for the second position. I would have no hesitation to recommend both Emma and Demob Job to my ex-military colleagues. Field Support Technician, Dorset

Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)

Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy.  After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job.  After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search.  Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled.  I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job.  Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.

Dean (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

Demob Job and especially Joanne Foster were exceptional in finding me a new role. Persistently I had been turned down for a role at the final stage as I was apparently too good, only to be refused a position above this (same company different site) as I did not have experience.  Joanne consulted with the employer and explained my case which thankfully led to interviews and, I am glad to say, an offer of employment which I have accepted. I can honestly say if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Joanne and the Demob Job team, I would not have secured this new job.  I would highly recommend them to all service leavers!  Dean is now employed as an Engineering Shift Leader in Castle Donnington, Derbyshire.

George (Ex Royal Navy Electrical Engineer)

“After leaving the Royal Navy I was contacted by Joanne Foster after uploading my CV online. She already had a perfect job opportunity for me and after deciding it was for me, she acted on my behalf excellently. She was a great and consistent communicator who provided everything I needed for applying including interview advice. I highly recommend Joanne and Demob Job”.  George is now employed as an Electrical Engineer in London.

Sam (Served in the Royal Air Force as a mechanically biased Aircraft Engineer)

"From start to finish Joanne and the Demob Job team have been nothing but excellent in all aspects of supporting me into transitioning into a new role. From helping with interview prep, CV support, and very fast, informative communication. With Joanne and Demob Job, you can feel that they honestly care about you and your transition into your new role, and it really comes across in the help and support you receive. I could not personally recommend Joanne and Demob Job recruitment agency more highly" Sam is now a Project Manager in Lancashire.
