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

Phillip (ex Royal Air Force Electronics Engineer)

I have nothing but high praise for Demob Job and in particular, Joanne Foster, who is both professional, helpful, and friendly.  She explained the process, the role, and assured me I had the skills required, which is not easy when you are going through the redundancy process.  I felt I was in safe hands and never had any issues or doubts. Joanne kept in touch regularly to see how I was doing, which I considered a nice touch.  I would recommend Demob Job as a recruitment agency to anyone and everyone.  Phillip is now an IT Support Engineer in Tyne and Wear)

Samuel (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)

“Not only did Joanne Foster at Demob job secure me a job when I first left the military, she then secured me an even better one when I was looking again. This has enabled me to gain vast experience within the engineering sector to enhance my skill set and confidence to secure my role that I am absolutely delighted to start next week! Really friendly and dedicated team to get ex military guys and girls their dream jobs! Thank you”. Samuel is now an Operations Engineer in the South West.

Michelle (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

I cannot recommend Demob Job enough.  Within 4 hours of applying for a position, Kim had called me to introduce herself and the agency, contacted the employer, secured me an interview and sent me a comprehensive email detailing who, what, where, why and when!  She kept in touch throughout the whole process and I'm pleased to say I attended the interview and was successful. I have dealt with many agencies including some of the 'big' names and none came close to the professionalism and thorough work of Kim at Demob Job. Thank you. Technical Sales Engineer, Cheshire

Andy (Royal Air Force – Avionics Engineer)

I applied for a position that I found on the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) website which sounded like it would suit me. A short time later I was contacted by Joanne from Demob Job with some more details about the role. I said that I was interested in the position and that I would like to be put forward for it. Having read through my CV, Joanne suggested a few tweaks to better suit the position which I decided would be a good idea. After only a few days I had an interview lined up and was offered the position starting a month later. Before my first day I was contacted weekly by Joanne to ensure everything was going well and if I needed any advice with my transition from military to civilian life. Overall, the service was first class and thanks to Joanne and the Demob Job team I have now started my first job as a ‘civvy’.

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.

Richard (ex British Army – Royal Signals Electrician)

I was contacted by Joanne Foster from Demob Job recruitment agency regarding an exciting opportunity within a national engineering company.  Throughout the recruitment process I was kept fully informed at every stage of the selection process, the communication was excellent and at no stage was I left not knowing exactly what was expected from me.  I would like to thank Joanne for all the hard work she has done over the last four months.  Richard is now employed as a Service Engineer in Kent.

Mark (ex-Royal Signals Radio Technician)

I saw a position advertised on the Demob Job website that caught my interest and seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.  I zapped a copy of my C.V with a  covering letter over to Joanne at and she called me back within an hour.  Joanne said that she thought my skills set matched most of those required by the prospective employer. Anyway, to cut a short story short, Joanne managed to get me an interview within a couple of days and the rest is history.   My experience with Demob Job has been extremely positive all the way through; very polite, very courteous and very discreet. Unlike other agencies where you get passed around from one person to another, the whole process was managed by one person.  Joanne kept in constant contact to make sure that things were on track.  I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job recruitment agency to all ex-military. They do a great job! Thanks, Joanne, I start my new job on Monday. Electronics Assembly & Test Engineer, Carlisle, Cumbria
