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
From Army Stores Assistant to a Stores Assistant in West Yorkshire
“I received a call from Kelly Chandler at Demob Job about a position near where I live. The process was quick and easy, and I successfully got the job. If you're ex-military looking for work, I highly recommend Kelly and Demob Job.” Gavin is now a Stores Assistant in West Yorkshire.
Stephen (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)
‘Jack was a fantastic support going through the application process for the job. I had applied for another position through Demob Job but Jack identified a further role that he believed was a better fit. When it came to interview time his support increased dramatically, always keeping in touch with the employer and myself continuously updating us on the next stage. After the interview Jack’s hard work continued by communicating with both parties making sure each was happy. Jack put in maximum effort during the entire process, and after I had been successful his follow-up care was second to none. Not only a total professional but an absolute top guy’. Steve now works as a Maintenance Engineer in Scotland.
Richard (ex-Royal Air Force – Aircraft Mechanical Technician)
After uploading my CV to several job boards, I was contacted by Kim of Demob Job, to discuss what I was after in a new job and employment opportunities within the relevant sectors. She was regularly in contact throughout my job search, application and subsequent offer of employment, to provide updates, encouragement and ensure I was ready for the next stage of the process. She underwent this task in a friendly, personal and professional manner, which ensured I was relaxed and confident, in what is usually an uncertain and stressful time. The service provided by Kim and the Demob Job team is second to none and should be every ex-forces first stop when seeking employment. Mechanical Field Service Engineer, Thetford, Norfolk
Sean (ex-Royal Navy)
“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 job that she thought would match up with my previous 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 which 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 in the North East
Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)
I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day. Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham
Another RAF Aircraft Technician secures new job as an Engineer Surveyor: Demob Job
"I am thrilled to share my experience interacting with Kelly Chandler, a truly exceptional recruitment consultant. As an ex-RAF Aircraft Technician transitioning into the civilian workforce, I was initially apprehensive about finding a role that suited my skills and experience. However, Kelly's professional yet personal approach put me at ease from our very first interaction. Kelly took the time to understand my unique background and aspirations, ensuring she matched me with opportunities that aligned with my experience and goals. Her knowledge of the industry and genuine interest in my career progression made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Kelly apart is her ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. She was always available to answer my questions and provided invaluable advice throughout the recruitment process. Thanks to Kelly, I am now happily employed as an engineering surveyor, in a position that perfectly fits my skills and ambitions. I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough for anyone seeking a dedicated, empathetic, and highly skilled recruitment agent. She not only finds you a job but also ensures it is the right fit for your career journey." – Former RAF Mechanical Aircraft Technician, now an Engineer Surveyor.

Huge thank you to Adrian at Demob Job for his help and support successfully finding a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a week of speaking to Adrian, I had had a successful interview for a job that excited me and started work 2 weeks after that. Adrian kept in touch throughout the whole process and unlike some other agencies, seemed to really care about finding me the right role. Now an Instructor in Wiltshire
