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

Liam (Ex Royal Air Force Mechanical Engineer)

“I cannot praise enough the help and support Kelly provided me from Demob Job recruitment agency, she has been absolutely brilliant during my job search and interview process. Utmost professional finding out what my strengths and previous engineering experience was to match me with similar commercial job positions for when I leave my military career. Thank you for motivating and encouraging me while making this process so seamless”.  Liam has now secured a new job within a manufacturing environment as a Maintenance Engineer in South Yorkshire.

"Demob Job has been outstanding in helping me secure my new position. Special thanks to Kelly, whose world-class communication ensured I was updated every step of the way. I'm incredibly grateful for all the support I've received from Demob Job and wish the team all the best for the future." – Rob, a former Royal Air Force Avionics Engineer, now working as a Maintenance Engineer.

Samuel (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)

After many false promises from other recruitment agencies and losing hope after leaving the military I was recommended to use Demob Job. I was immediately filled with confidence and the feedback was transparent and instant. I have now finally found not only a job but a career that I thoroughly enjoy with plenty of progression and excitement. This is all down to Joanne who is dedicated on a personal and professional level! Thanks again Joanne!!  Samuel is now employed as a Mechanical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.

Karl (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer Submariner)

‘After 23 years in the armed forces you learn to do a lot of things, unfortunately, none of them is how to be a civvy and look for a job. I began looking for work in the field of engineering and a friend of mine recommended Demob Job, I’m glad that I did. Joanne was very quick to respond to my internet inquiry and keen to give as much information as possible on the job in hand.  When accepted for an interview Joanne made sure I was as prepared as possible with notes from other applicants and any information she thought was useful.  When she was away, she made sure another member of the team was briefed on my situation so they would be able to help.  Throughout the whole process, you could really tell Joanne was working hard on your behalf.  I secured employment and began my new career two weeks ago and I’m very grateful to Joanne and the Demob team for their efforts.’  Karl is now employed in the heavy industrial engineering sector.

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.

Over 19 Years in the Royal Navy to Project Manager: Marc’s Career Change with Demob Job

"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application.  The service was very professional and concise. I had regular updates during the process, and Joanne was very understanding when I wasn’t feeling well and had to reschedule my interview.  Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly.  I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job."  Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer.  He is now employed as a Project Manager.

"One Friday afternoon, the 'job of the week' landed in my inbox. I called Joanne immediately to discuss the role. After a good conversation, she was confident to introduce my application to the company. Joanne then helped with my CV which needed to be civilianised to make it easier to read. The application process was very smooth and Joanne was there at each step to help, advise and encourage. There is a lot said about transferable skills and I can tell you many of the skills I had taken for granted are very much transferable into civilian roles. The online interview tips and tricks were great and I followed every bit of advice given in it. I was offered a second interview and I’m delighted to say I have been offered the position. Demob Job takes the time to listen to potential candidates, unlike so many others who just throw candidates against a wall and see what sticks! Thanks to the whole team and especially Joanne Foster" – Michael is a former Royal Air Force Aircraft Weapons Engineer, now a Workshop Engineer in Blackpool.
