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 Marine)

“I came across Demob Job after searching online.  I found the website extremely easy to navigate and was full of information on different jobs and where they were. I found a job which I applied for and I was very quickly contacted by Emma who informed me of the next steps.  It wasn’t long until the interviews were set up and conducted and throughout that time, I was kept up to date with what was going on by Emma and Joanne. All in all, a very professional and helpful place, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for new employment.” Jack is now a Field Service Engineer in Gloucestershire.

Joanne contacted me from Demob Job regarding a service engineer vacancy in the south of England. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of my transferable skills and that this is what they were looking for. Her enthusiasm and speed to get me an interview for the position and the constant updates was commendable. I would recommend Demob Job to all personnel who are leaving or have left the service to use them as they provide an excellent service and support through the whole process Radio Engineer, Reading

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.

"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application.  The service was very professional and concise.
