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.

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.
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.
Samuel (ex-Royal Navy Marine Engineering Technician)
“Not only did Joanne Foster at Demob job secure me a job when I first left the military, she then secured me an even better one when I was looking again. This has enabled me to gain vast experience within the engineering sector to enhance my skill set and confidence to secure my role that I am absolutely delighted to start next week! Really friendly and dedicated team to get ex military guys and girls their dream jobs! Thank you”. Samuel is now an Operations Engineer in the South West.
John (Previously served in the Royal Navy as an Engineer)
“Joanne was very helpful in finding me employment on upon transitioning from a 15-year career in the Royal Navy. Although at the time there were limited employers advertising roles that matched my skillset, Joanne managed to find hidden roles with local companies with whom she and Demob Job have close relationships with. Her hard work, perseverance and contacts within industry managed to secure me my ideal role. I'd also like to add that her support and mentoring during the process, helped enable my success in securing employment, during what can be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Demob Job to any service leaver”. John is now employed as a Project Engineer in the North East.
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
