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.

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’.
From RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role
“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me. I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.
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
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.
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. Mechanical Engineering Technician, Newcastle Upon Tyne
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.
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.
