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

Stuart (ex Royal Engineers)

It was clear to see from the start I was in safe hands. Joanne had a clear understanding of the role on offer and my capabilities. Sound advice matched with prompt communication helped this process become stress-free and more personal.  The end result was a job offer and a position I can see myself fulfilling for a long time with great career progression and opportunities.  Stuart is now a Construction Project Engineer in Somerset.

From Royal Navy Marine Engineer to Project Engineer: Jamie’s Defence Sector Success Story

“I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Foster during my recent job search, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. From start to finish, she was communicative, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. Her guidance and encouragement made the process smooth and stress-free, and I’m thrilled to have secured a new role with her help. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive recruitment professional”.  Jamie served close to 10 years in the Royal Navy as a qualified Marine Engineer.  He is now employed as a Project Engineer within a leading Defence company.

Joanne Foster’s support has directly helped me secure a new job as a Mechanical Project Engineer

"I discovered Demob Job on LinkedIn and registered my details. Joanne Foster contacted me shortly after and, although there were no vacancies in my location, she offered to assist with my job search. We discussed my skills and experience, and Joanne proactively reached out to local companies on my behalf. Thankfully, I received interest from several companies, and after going through the interview process, I secured a job offer that I was happy to accept. Joanne was attentive, proactive, and kept me well-informed throughout, providing excellent advice. Overall, my experience with Demob Job was smooth and pleasant, and I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything!" – Former Royal Navy Leading Engineering Technician (LET), now a Mechanical Project Engineer.

Kevin (completed a 25-year career in the Royal Artillery)

Emma, thank you for contacting me regarding a new job opportunity.  Your help, support, and guidance throughout the whole process were second to none.  You are an asset to Demob Job, and I will be recommending you and your team to friends leaving the Armed Forces.  Once again, a big thank you, and I wish you and the Demob Job team every success.  Kevin is now employed as a Warehouse Team Leader in the North East.

Owen (ex Royal Navy electrically biased Weapons Engineer)

A great process. From the first call I received where the opportunity was introduced to the call on the Friday before I started the job Joanne was helpful, professional, and always at the end of the phone if I had any inquiries. Many thanks to Joanne Foster and Demob Job for the opportunity, I am enjoying my new employment.  Owen is now a Service Engineer in Gloucester.

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

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.
