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.

How Demob Job Helped Me Transition from the Royal Artillery to Apprenticeship Coordinator

"I was searching for a new opportunity when Joanne Foster from Demob Job reached out after I applied for a position on the website. Joanne was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial chat through to the interview and eventual job offer. She kept me well informed at every stage, providing reassurance and making sure I was always in the loop. Even after I accepted the role, Joanne stayed in regular contact, assisting with the onboarding process and ensuring I had all the support I needed. Her dedication made it possible for me to secure the opportunity I was looking for." – Former Royal Artillery member, now an Apprenticeship Coordinator.

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
