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

Supportive, Professional, Personal: My Journey from RAF to Engineer Surveyor with Demob Job

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Chandler and Demob Job. From the very start she has been extremely helpful, consistently checking up to make sure I had everything I needed at each stage of the process. I would recommend Demob Job to anyone due to their warm and welcoming nature, I can’t thank Kelly enough for what she has done for me.” Josh served in the Royal Air Force as a Ground Support Technician and is now an Engineer Surveyor in London.

Lee (ex-Royal Air Force Engineer)

Joanne contacted me from Demob Job regarding a service engineer vacancy in the south of England. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of my transferable skills and that this is what they were looking for. Her enthusiasm and speed to get me an interview for the position and the constant updates was commendable. I would recommend Demob Job to all personnel who are leaving or have left the service to use them as they provide an excellent service and support through the whole process Radio Engineer, Reading

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

Ryan (Served in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer)

“I cannot thank Joanne enough for all the hard work she has put in to secure me the ideal job! I was cruising along in a position I was unhappy with for a long time and reluctant to apply for new jobs due to a lack of confidence and lack of motivation but Joanne has made the whole experience stress free and easy on my part! An absolute credit to her team and a shining ray of hope for all service leavers that, like me, undersell themselves and accept less than they deserve. I will without a doubt be recommending Demob Job to anyone that will listen to me from here on out! Thank you Joanne and thank you Demob Job!”  Ryan is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in Essex.

Cameron (ex-Royal Navy Leading Marine Engineering Mechanic)

“Since day one both Joanne and Demob Job have been fantastic. From the off, I was instantly put at ease and the worry and anxiety of leaving the armed forces and finding employment, quickly evaporated.  Joanne was fantastic in her role. Clearly working hard and diligently to find me the best possible job to fit my criteria. She was a fantastic listener, great motivator and was great at reassuring me following challenging interviews and tests.  Overall, I cannot recommend Demob Job enough. Their ability to find work for service leavers is brilliant and thanks to them I feel optimistic and excited for my future on civvy street.  Thank you for everything Joanne”.  Cameron is now employed as a Shift Maintenance Technician in County Durham.

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
