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

Chris (Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

“After uploading my CV to most of the general websites, within days, I was fortunate to receive a phone call from Joanne Foster at Demob Job informing me that she had found my CV online and wondered if I was in fact interested in a future role that she had matched my transferable skills against. From the start, Joanne was open and forthcoming with all the relevant information pertaining to the job role and the background on the company. Sure enough, I was put forward for this particular role and within days had secured a first stage interview. Fortunate to be successful and be welcomed back to a second stage interview by the company, Joanne was in close contact with the company and made arrangements for myself to attend and further discussed with me the potential next stages. This was all stress free, relaxed and handled by the professionalism of Joanne at every stage and waypoint. I am sure that if not for Joanne and Demob Job, that my CV may have fell by the side of the road and not been so successful. This came at a time when my previous role was contractually coming to an end and was flawless in transition. Highly professional, informative, and friendly throughout the process and would highly recommend Joanne and the team at Demob Job to anyone who is looking to progress their own career.” Chris is now employed as an Auditor in Glasgow.

Jay (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer)

Joanne at Demob Job has been extremely helpful in the transition from military to civilian life. Always keeping me informed of what is going on and what the next steps will be. Keeping in touch regularly and going out of her way to reassure you that the job you want is ready and waiting!  Jay is now a Mechanical Engineer in Plymouth, Devon.

Simon (Scots Guards)

Having applied for a role, I was contacted by Joanne, from Demob Job, very quickly.  She took my details whilst asking pertinent questions that allowed her to judge my suitability for the role in a very quick and professional manner.  Her communication with me throughout the process was faultless, and her openness to solving any issues was second to none.  Joanne made what could potentially have been a fraught process extremely simple.  I have no hesitation in recommending both Joanne and Demob Job to any veteran seeking a new position; you will not be disappointed.  Simon is now a Contract Manager in Dorset).

Jake (served in the Royal Navy as a Leading Hand Weapons Engineer)

“I was searching for a new role and was contacted by Kelly Chandler at Demob Job after I applied for a job advertised. She was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel reassured by something relatively new to me. After I had accepted the role, we kept in touch as she continually checked up to see how things were progressing with the company.  Kelly’s support in securing a new job made the whole situation a lot easier”.  Jake is now an Assistant Project Manager in Hampshire.

Rhys (ex-Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

“These guys are a cut above the rest when compared to other recruiters - complete understanding throughout the process which isn’t reciprocal with all other recruiters. I received more support than was needed, to which I’m so grateful and ecstatic with the end result. Demob Job are a great team to work with and I would recommend to any service leaver in transition!”.  Rhys is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the Bristol area.

Royal Navy Marine Engineer secures new career as an Offshore Technician

“I recently left the Armed Forces and was looking for a new challenge.  After looking for a new career by myself I wasn't having much luck until I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job. She offered excellent service and helped me get a job offer that was beyond my expectations. The Demob Job was very friendly and helpful, offered advice and assistance with preparing for interviews, and made searching for a job as straightforward and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend the services of Demob Job, and have already recommended them to others who are leaving their military careers.”  – Former Royal Navy Marine Engineer, now an Offshore Technician.

From RAF Aircraft Fitter to Maintenance Technician: How Demob Job Found My Perfect Role

“I have done what I believe most service leavers do and saved my leave to have a few months off at the end of their career. I’d been at home making the most of the summer with my wife and kids but with the end of the summer holidays in sight I started to upload my cv to various websites. Almost immediately I was bombarded with calls from pushy recruiters telling me I’d be “perfect” for whatever job they had and would I like to apply but never hearing from them again, after a few weeks I was getting fed up with this. Then Kelly Chandler from Demob Job gave me a call. We had an actual conversation about what sort of employment and employer I was looking for, discussed the skills I had developed in the RAF and we ended the call with assurance she would find something suitable for me.  I got a call back from Kelly a few days later about a position available in a company that met my specification. My CV was sent off, I went for an interview and got the job! Kelly was there to support and guide me through the whole process and I’m looking forward to starting my job on Monday. I can’t recommend Demob Job highly enough!” Gary completed a full career in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Fitter and is now employed as a Maintenance Technician in Merseyside.
