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

Clint (ex Royal Air Force Chef)

After recently completing my diploma in plumbing and heating, I had spent many months trying to find the right job opportunity. I had spent 20 years in catering within the RAF and offshore oil and gas, and have been seeking a career change, when Adrian from Demob Job contacted me about an opportunity with a respectable company which included great training and career prospects.  Adrian was excellent in explaining the job role to me, identifying all my transferable skills that would make me a good fit for the role, and after putting me forward, managed to secure an interview for me.  I am sure that had I applied direct to the company I would not have heard back.  After completing the interview, and a small skills test, I managed to secure the role and am awaiting to start the training course.  Cannot recommend Adrian and Demob Job enough. Highly professional in every stage of the process.

Julian (ex British Army – Household Cavalry Regiment)

After applying for a position through the Demob Job website I was contacted by Emma who was very helpful in helping me adjust my CV to reflect the vacancy.  Emma organised everything, including the interview which I attended and was offered the job.  I would like to personally thank the team at Demob Job and particularly Emma for her friendly professionalism and assistance.  Now an Estates Manager in West London

Mike (ex Royal Air Force electrically biased Avionics Engineer)

Joanne at Demob Job is unlike any other recruiter I have been in contact with as I am sure all the recruiters with Demob Job are.  Joanne was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in putting the correct person in the correct role. Many recruiters merely contact you to fill their numbers, filling you with false hope and never returning the many phone calls you make to them. From the initial phone call I received from Joanne to the last I felt Demob and Joanne wanted to get the best possible outcome for me and not only for them or the company.   I will be recommending Demob job and Joanne to all service leavers I know as I wish someone had recommended them to me months ago.  Thank you Joanne and Demob Job.  Mike is now a Field Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.

Stuart (ex Royal Engineers)

It was clear to see from the start I was in safe hands. Joanne had a clear understanding of the role on offer and my capabilities. Sound advice matched with prompt communication helped this process become stress-free and more personal.  The end result was a job offer and a position I can see myself fulfilling for a long time with great career progression and opportunities.  Stuart is now a Construction Project Engineer in Somerset.

Rob (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

Excellent recruitment company, love to focus on ex military and as we all know, leaving the Armed Forces is a big step, always stay in contact with you and keep you updated with your process. This was the very first job I applied for, and I was successful, and in the field I wanted, my consultant was Emma Saxton. 10 out of 10 for the effort she put in, no complaints. Rob is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the Gloucestershire area.

Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)

I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer.  She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector.  Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process.  I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help.  I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future.  Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland

Fleet Air Arm to Project Engineer: recruitment support from start to finish

"After serving in the Royal Navy for over 18 years, I was approaching my leaving date and growing nervous about finding a job I truly wanted in time. A few days after uploading my CV to several sites, Joanne Foster from Demob Job reached out, and I instantly felt at ease. She guided me through what the job entailed and kept in touch throughout the entire interview process. I’ve now accepted the role, and I can’t thank Joanne enough for everything she has done. I highly recommend her and Demob Job to any service leaver." – Former Fleet Air Arm member, now a Project Engineer.
