Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials
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.
Nathaniel (ex-Royal Engineers)
I found Demob Job to be very helpful in my transition into a civilian engineering role. After a rough pandemic, I was lacking in confidence in my skills and struggled to see where I would fit into a civilian role in my chosen field. Adrian took the time to really listen to my story and understand my goals and set about working to find a good fit. He helped me regain perspective and see what I had to offer. I was quickly matched to a great role and was subsequently successful at interview with the company director, being offered the role the same day. The whole process was seamless and quick but also considered, relaxed, and with tailored support throughout. I would highly recommend Demob Job to any veteran or service leaver. Nathaniel is now a Field Service Engineer in Suffolk.

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’.
Jamie (previously a Marine Engineer in the Merchant Navy)
Emma was a great help in helping me get the job. She identified what transferable skills I had to match up with the job. I was a little nervous about changing career paths, especially with it being over 10 years since I last had an interview. Emma always kept me in the loop with any updates and gave great advice and information about the job that put my mind at ease and allowed me to go into the interview confident and fully prepared. I would recommend Demob Job and especially Emma to anyone looking for help in finding a new career. Jamie is now employed as a Maintenance Engineer in the North East.
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
Cameron (ex-Royal Navy Leading Marine Engineering Mechanic)
“Since day one both Joanne and Demob Job have been fantastic. From the off, I was instantly put at ease and the worry and anxiety of leaving the armed forces and finding employment, quickly evaporated. Joanne was fantastic in her role. Clearly working hard and diligently to find me the best possible job to fit my criteria. She was a fantastic listener, great motivator and was great at reassuring me following challenging interviews and tests. Overall, I cannot recommend Demob Job enough. Their ability to find work for service leavers is brilliant and thanks to them I feel optimistic and excited for my future on civvy street. Thank you for everything Joanne”. Cameron is now employed as a Shift Maintenance Technician in County Durham.
