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.

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

Paul (Ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

“Leaving the Armed Forces is a huge step for any service person looking to transition into civilian life, personally for me it was extra daunting as I joined the Royal Navy straight from school and stayed to complete a 24-year career. Job hunting proved difficult with many employers not taking the time to reply to my applications. I then applied for a position I found on the CTP website, immediately Joanne Foster was in touch to explain the role and requirements in more depth, within minutes I had experienced the personal and professional service Demob Job offer. Joanne helped me every step of the way offering advice, feedback, and an understanding I do not think would be found at any other recruitment company. I would urge anyone leaving the Armed Forces to use the experience and professionalism Demob Job have at their disposal. Thanks to Joanne I have secured a job with a prestigious North East company.”  Paul is now employed as a Senior Marine Engineering Manager in Tyne and Wear.

Justin (ex-Royal Air Force Mechanical Aircraft Technician)

I left the RAF and began the laborious and slightly soul destroying task of searching for a job appropriate to my skill set. I was in contact with an old colleague who linked me to the advertisement posted on Demob Job by Joanne. I carefully read the criteria requested and contacted Joanne who promptly arranged a chat with me via telephone the next day.  Joanne advised me of what the job entailed and after a brief informal Q&A, proposed to put me forward for the role of Field Service Engineer at a Marine company. I was thrilled to hear back that the company were interested in speaking to me via web interview initially and I was coached on some salient points to assist me with techniques and common questions. That interview was completed and Joanne kept in touch between myself and the company for feedback. I was then contacted back by Kim as Joanne had a holiday but I was made aware of this well in advance and Kim became my contact. I was delighted to hear that I was invited to the company HQ on Friday for a face to face interview after being shortlisted. I was delighted to be contacted by Kim to give me the good news that I had been offered the job. Joanne and Kim have been amazing throughout and I cannot thank them enough. I would describe Joanne and Kim as dynamic, highly professional, very supportive and confidence inspiring. I would recommend Demob Job to any service leaver be it imminent or out of the services for some time. Field Service Engineer, Durham

Over 19 Years in the Royal Navy to Project Manager: Marc’s Career Change with Demob Job

"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application.  The service was very professional and concise. I had regular updates during the process, and Joanne was very understanding when I wasn’t feeling well and had to reschedule my interview.  Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly.  I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job."  Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer.  He is now employed as a Project Manager.
