Who are Demob Job?

Our future looks bright as we continue to prosper through planned growth.

Candidate Testimonials

Aaron (ex British Army Electronics Technician)

Joanne was there for me during the most difficult and concerning time of my career, the period in which I was leaving the military after 10 years not having any civilian contacts or experience. She made me feel calm and confident in securing a new career path even during the pandemic. I would highly recommend any ex-military or jobseeker to have Joanne caring for their needs. She was professional and kind during the whole process and considered all my needs throughout. Amazing support. Aaron is now an Engineering Technician in Lancashire.

Sean (ex Royal Navy – Aircraft Engineering Technician)

I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset.  Joanne contacted me about a vacancy that she thought would match up with my previous military role.  She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself.  With Joanne's help, I secured a job in an industry that will only expand in the future.  I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career. Now a Field Service Engineer covering the North East

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.

Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)

Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy.  After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job.  After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search.  Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled.  I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job.  Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.

"From start to finish Joanne and the Demob Job team have been nothing but excellent in all aspects of supporting me into transitioning into a new role. From helping with interview prep, CV support, and very fast, informative communication. With Joanne and Demob Job, you can feel that they honestly care about you and your transition into your new role, and it really comes across in the help and support you receive. I could not personally recommend Joanne and Demob Job recruitment agency more highly" Sam is now a Project Manager in Lancashire.

Chris (ex Royal Air Force – Radar Technician)

Leaving the military is a daunting thought for everyone.  But to leave when a pandemic is in full swing really made me rethink my options.  However, after speaking with Adrian at Demob Job, my mind was at ease. We spoke about what I was looking for with regards to my future.  After only days he found what I can only describe, as a dream job for me. From then on the process was swift. I never felt alone and Adrian was there every step of the way.  A few months ago I was petrified about how I would pay to keep a roof over my head.  Now I’m comfortably in a job I enjoy.  I can’t thank Adrian and Demob Job enough for getting me on the right path to a fulfilling career.  Now a Maintenance Engineer in London
