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
Richard (ex-Royal Air Force – Aircraft Mechanical Technician)
After uploading my CV to several job boards, I was contacted by Kim of Demob Job, to discuss what I was after in a new job and employment opportunities within the relevant sectors. She was regularly in contact throughout my job search, application and subsequent offer of employment, to provide updates, encouragement and ensure I was ready for the next stage of the process. She underwent this task in a friendly, personal and professional manner, which ensured I was relaxed and confident, in what is usually an uncertain and stressful time. The service provided by Kim and the Demob Job team is second to none and should be every ex-forces first stop when seeking employment. Mechanical Field Service Engineer, Thetford, Norfolk
Carl (ex British Army Royal Engineers)
I applied for a position that I found advertised with Demob Job early one morning as the location suited and the job spec was very much within my skill set. I very quickly received a call from Joanne at Demob Job to explain the vacancy in detail and to discuss my background and expectations. This lead to me being introduced to the company which resulted in an interview being arranged very quickly. Prior to the interview, Joanne gave me some very good advice and pointers. The interview went very well and I was offered the position. Even after the job offer Demob Job still contacted me to ensure that I was completely happy. I found everybody who I dealt with at Demob Job, especially Joanne, extremely helpful and polite. Logistics Manager, Hampshire
Aaron (ex British Army Electronics Technician)
Joanne was there for me during the most difficult and concerning time of my career, the period in which I was leaving the military after 10 years not having any civilian contacts or experience. She made me feel calm and confident in securing a new career path even during the pandemic. I would highly recommend any ex-military or jobseeker to have Joanne caring for their needs. She was professional and kind during the whole process and considered all my needs throughout. Amazing support. Aaron is now an Engineering Technician in Lancashire.
Alex (ex Royal Navy – Leading Air Engineering Technician)
Emma Saxton was great in finding me work after I had put my notice in with the Royal Navy. After an uncertain time, I was beginning to worry about finding civilian employment, but this changed when I contacted Demob Job. After speaking with Emma, I felt more confident and positive about my job search. Emma found me a job with a leading multinational industrial engineering company with terms and conditions which far surpassed any expectation I had with leaving the Armed Forces, I was thrilled. I would encourage anybody leaving their military career to contact Demob Job. Alex is now a Field Service Engineer in Cumbria.
Supportive, Professional, Personal: My Journey from RAF to Engineer Surveyor with Demob Job
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Chandler and Demob Job. From the very start she has been extremely helpful, consistently checking up to make sure I had everything I needed at each stage of the process. I would recommend Demob Job to anyone due to their warm and welcoming nature, I can’t thank Kelly enough for what she has done for me.” Josh served in the Royal Air Force as a Ground Support Technician and is now an Engineer Surveyor in London.
Harun (ex Royal Signals – Communications Systems Engineer)
I applied for a technical role in Northern Ireland which closely matched my profile and I received a prompt call from Joanne at Demob Job to discuss my current situation and to organise an interview with a potential employer. She was so understanding of the daunting prospect of leaving the military and from the get-go, she was reassuring me that my skills and experience are attractive in the commercial sector. Joanne kept me in the loop and made sure I was never left wondering where I was in the application process. I don’t think I could have found such a good role that pays well and where I am able to utilise my skills from the military without her help. I fully recommend Joanne Foster and Demob Job to anyone wanting to resettle from their military in the future. Now employed as a Field Support Technician in Northern Ireland
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.
