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

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.

From Royal Signals to Contract Manager: How Demob Job Helped Me Break the Cycle of Rejections

“Exceptional support throughout my job application from a truly dedicated professional recruiter. After 3 months of job hunting, and over 300 unsuccessful job applications, I was approached by Joanne Foster from Demob Job. She had found a job that aligned with my experience and previous military career perfectly. From the very first conversation, Joanne took the time to understand not just my CV, but what I was actually looking for. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, keeping me updated, preparing me for interviews and ensuring I had the best possible chance of success. Her professionalism, dedication and personal approach made the whole process smooth and stress free. Thanks to Joanne’s support, I have secured a position that suits me exceptionally well and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would recommend Joanne and Demob Job without hesitation to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable and committed recruitment partner. Again, thank you for your support Joanne, I am truly grateful.” Lee served in the Royal Corps of Signals and is now employed as a Contract Manager.

John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)

“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy.  Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with.  Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role.  I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”.  John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.

Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer

“Demob Job have been outstanding. From initial contact from Kelly, right through to myself being offered the job and even after that step, Kelly has been a conduit between myself and the hiring manager. Always keeping me up to speed in the interview process and providing feedback from the interviewers. Answering any of my questions or finding the information from the hiring manager. Nothing was difficult. This whole process has been a joy!” Simon was a Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer and is now a Field Service Engineer in Wiltshire.

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
