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
Jack (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)
“Demob Job, have been amazing in helping me secure my new career. As a service leaver, having served many years in the Royal Air Force, joining the civilian world was daunting. But finding Demob Job was exactly what I needed, they understood my position and made everything as pain-free as possible. I was introduced to the employer and an interview was arranged within 24 hours. Throughout the process, Demob Job kept in touch and helped me prepare for the interview, giving me some great advice. I was offered the job, and again, Adrian called congratulating me giving me all the information on the next steps, staying in touch right up to my first day in my new job. I would give Demob Job 10 out of 10”. Jack is now an Engineer Surveyor in Essex.
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.
Nathan (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineer)
“After having served 8 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and on starting my transition to Civvy Street I was contacted by Demob Job to help me find my new career. Kelly Chandler was my point of contact throughout, and she was brilliant from start to finish. She noted all my previous skills and experience and used them to match me against jobs that were in my preferred field. She filtered jobs for me that were within my preferred commutable area, working routines, and the salary range I was looking for. I was paired with a job that suited everything that I was looking for. Kelly kept me well-informed throughout the selection and interview process. She even phoned me the Friday before I was due to start work to wish me good luck. I would not hesitate to recommend Demob Job to any member of the Armed Forces looking to take their next career step”. Nathan is now employed as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer in Manchester.
Roger (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)
After being made redundant from my previous employer due to being furloughed for over 3 months, I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job, and was quickly offered the chance of an interview. Within 48 hours of being contacted, I attended an interview and I was offered employment. I was really impressed with the help and information that was available to me. Joanne even followed up after my employment was finalised and made sure I was ready to start my new job the following week. I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving their military career. Roger is now employed as a Service Repair Technician in Warwickshire.
Noel (ex REME Avionic Technician)
Just before I was made redundant I received a phone call from Emma at Demob Job having previously registered on their web site. She asked if I would be interested in applying for a Field Service Manager position. I was sceptical at first but she convinced me to make an application. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at the interview but gained some valuable feedback which suggested that I may be more suited to a hands-on role as a Field Service Technician. This led to a further interview and, I am glad to say, a job offer. If I had not let Emma convince me to attend the initial interview I would probably never have even tried for the second position. I would have no hesitation to recommend both Emma and Demob Job to my ex-military colleagues. Field Support Technician, Dorset
Julian (ex British Army – Household Cavalry Regiment)
After applying for a position through the Demob Job website I was contacted by Emma who was very helpful in helping me adjust my CV to reflect the vacancy. Emma organised everything, including the interview which I attended and was offered the job. I would like to personally thank the team at Demob Job and particularly Emma for her friendly professionalism and assistance. Now an Estates Manager in West London
Rob (ex Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME))
Joanne Foster and the Demob Job team were instrumental in supporting myself and my application in finding a new and fulfilling role, in an industry where my skillset fits and has the opportunity to develop further. Joanne fully supported me from the initial telephone conversation and numerous interviews to my first week in role assuring that the role was a fit for me as well as the company. Many recruiters disappear once the Job offer has been made, not Demob Job. The team continues to offer advice and support to ex-service individuals via their website and social media for no-return, this is a company with honest intentions to support ex-forces. I cannot recommend Demob Job highly enough. Rob is now employed as a Systems Auditor in Wiltshire.
