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
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’.
Chris (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Operator)
After receiving a Demob Job Vacancy Alert that ticked all my boxes, I contacted Adrian for further details. One-week later I was sat in front of his client and was duly successful in being offered the role. Adrian immediately made me feel at ease, ensuring that the process was comfortable, yet structured, with all necessary support and advice along the way. Three weeks from my initial contact with Adrian I start my new role and I'm over the moon! I cannot recommend Adrian and his team highly enough, many thanks indeed! Now a Field Based Training Executive in Gloucestershire

"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application. The service was very professional and concise.

Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job." Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer.

Nathan (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
“After having served 8 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer, on starting my transition to civvy street I was contacted by Demob Job to help me find my new career. Kelly was my point of contact throughout, and she was brilliant from start to finish. She noted all my previous skills and experience and used them to match jobs that were in my preferred field. She filtered jobs for me that were within my preferred commutable area, working routines, and the salary range I was looking for. I was matched with a job that best suited everything that I was looking for. Kelly kept me well-informed throughout the selection and interview process. She even phoned me the Friday before I was due to start my new job to wish me good luck. I would not hesitate to recommend Demob Job to any member of the Armed Forces looking to take their next step”. Nathan is now employed as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer in Manchester.
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. We discussed my skills and experience, and Joanne proactively reached out to local companies on my behalf. 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. Thank you for everything!" – Former Royal Navy Leading Engineering Technician (LET), now a Mechanical Project Engineer.
From REME Vehicle Mechanic to Field Installation Technician: A Standout Recruitment Experience
“I applied for a job via the CTP portal, the response from the Demob Job was very quick and the first call was very informative regarding the role. Joanne was very accommodating with setting up interviews and has kept me updated during the whole process. Even a quick phone call to say they are currently waiting to hear back from the employer was always appreciated. I can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had with a recruiter, I have already recommended them to other service leavers and will continue to do so in the future.” James was a Level 3 Vehicle Mechanic in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and is now employed as a Field Installation Technician in Leicestershire.
