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
Nathaniel (ex-Royal Engineers)
I found Demob Job to be very helpful in my transition into a civilian engineering role. After a rough pandemic, I was lacking in confidence in my skills and struggled to see where I would fit into a civilian role in my chosen field. Adrian took the time to really listen to my story and understand my goals and set about working to find a good fit. He helped me regain perspective and see what I had to offer. I was quickly matched to a great role and was subsequently successful at interview with the company director, being offered the role the same day. The whole process was seamless and quick but also considered, relaxed, and with tailored support throughout. I would highly recommend Demob Job to any veteran or service leaver. Nathaniel is now a Field Service Engineer in Suffolk.
Thomas (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
Having gone through a long and difficult process Joanne was with me every step of the way and was excellent in guiding me through the many obstacles. Joanne showed excellent knowledge in the field I was seeking employment in and was crucial in my preparation for the interviews for the role. Joanne was very attentive and always on the other end of the phone to help when I had questions. Could not recommend demob job and Joanne enough and if I ever look to seek different employment in the future, they will be my first contact. Thomas is now a Field Service Engineer in Bristol.
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.
Roger (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)
After being made redundant from my previous employer due to being furloughed for over 3 months, I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job, and was quickly offered the chance of an interview. Within 48 hours of being contacted, I attended an interview and I was offered employment. I was really impressed with the help and information that was available to me. Joanne even followed up after my employment was finalised and made sure I was ready to start my new job the following week. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving their military career. Roger is now employed as a Service Repair Technician in Warwickshire.
Paul (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
“Leaving the Armed Forces is a huge step for any service person looking to transition into civilian life, personally for me it was extra daunting as I joined the Royal Navy straight from school and stayed to complete a 24-year career. Job hunting proved difficult with many employers not taking the time to reply to my applications. I then applied for a position I found on the CTP website, immediately Joanne Foster was in touch to explain the role and requirements in more depth, within minutes I had experienced the personal and professional service Demob Job offer. Joanne helped me every step of the way offering advice, feedback, and an understanding I do not think would be found at any other recruitment company. I would urge anyone leaving the Armed Forces to use the experience and professionalism Demob Job have at their disposal. Thanks to Joanne I have secured a job with a prestigious North East company.” Paul is now employed as a Senior Marine Engineering Manager in Tyne and Wear.
Matthew (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)
This is the first time I have used Demob Job and I must say I'm very impressed. Joanne was very efficient in arranging an interview, highlighting my key skills and attributes to the employer. I successfully managed to capture the role I applied for and I look forward to my new career path. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone who is leaving the Armed Forces and is looking for a new and exciting role. Matthew is now employed as a Service Engineer within the Energy Sector.
