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 Military Service to Civilian Success: My Journey to Becoming a Calibration Technician with Demob Job

"Kelly has been instrumental in helping me secure my new job, which I’ve started and am very happy with. Her support made my transition from the British Army to civilian life much easier. Kelly was clear about the steps she was taking to assist me and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. Overall, I highly recommend Kelly and Demob Job to anyone seeking a new career." – Former REME Vehicle Mechanic (NVQ Level 3), now a Calibration Technician.

Mike (ex Royal Air Force electrically biased Avionics Engineer)

Joanne at Demob Job is unlike any other recruiter I have been in contact with as I am sure all the recruiters with Demob Job are.  Joanne was friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in putting the correct person in the correct role. Many recruiters merely contact you to fill their numbers, filling you with false hope and never returning the many phone calls you make to them. From the initial phone call I received from Joanne to the last I felt Demob and Joanne wanted to get the best possible outcome for me and not only for them or the company.   I will be recommending Demob job and Joanne to all service leavers I know as I wish someone had recommended them to me months ago.  Thank you Joanne and Demob Job.  Mike is now a Field Electrical Engineer in Tyne & Wear.

From Royal Signals to Apprenticeship Coordinator: A Successful Civilian Career Transition

“The entire team at Demob Job have been fantastic. From initial filtering and interview preparation with Adrian, and Joanne providing support during the negotiation phase, they are forthcoming and very communicative throughout the entire process. Their guidance and support have ensured a successful outcome in the job-hunting process. Thank you.” Martin previously served in the Royal Signals and is now employed as an Apprenticeship Coordinator.

REME Vehicle Technician secure new career as Engineering Surveyor

"I first contacted Demob Job after seeing their Instagram page and was immediately impressed with their professionalism and positive attitude towards finding me employment. It was clear from the outset that they had a lot of connections in the Engineering industry and were keen to get to know me. They reassured me about the process which in turn took a lot of pressure off me while I was conducting my resettlement phase. Having then spoken with Kelly Chandler, she quickly gained an in-depth understanding of what skills and experience I had and began to match me with potential employers the next day. When a job was identified as a good fit for me, Kelly explained the job specifications to me clearly to make sure I understood everything. Exactly one week after first contacting Demob Job, I had an interview, and a job offer which I accepted. Kelly and the team were fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them enough.  I am now an Engineering Surveyor with a great company in South Yorkshire”.

Andrew (ex Royal Logistic Corps Driver Communications Specialist)

“My journey in finding employment, was not going well until I saw a job advert on Demob Job’s website.  I applied and within a day I had a phone call from Adrian Cheesman talking to me about the job and its responsibilities.  Adrian helped me at every step of the application process which led me to a face-to-face interview along with a driving assessment.  I have now accepted a new job as a Tank Transporter Driver, and I am looking forward to starting in six weeks”.  Andrew is now a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Tank Transporter Driver.

From REME Vehicle Mechanic to Field Installation Technician: A Standout Recruitment Experience

“I applied for a job via the CTP portal, the response from the Demob Job was very quick and the first call was very informative regarding the role.  Joanne was very accommodating with setting up interviews and has kept me updated during the whole process.  Even a quick phone call to say they are currently waiting to hear back from the employer was always appreciated.  I can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had with a recruiter, I have already recommended them to other service leavers and will continue to do so in the future.” James was a Level 3 Vehicle Mechanic in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and is now employed as a Field Installation Technician in Leicestershire.
