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

Sean (ex-Royal Navy)

“I recently left the Royal Navy after 5 years’ service and I was struggling to find a job that suited my skillset.  Joanne contacted me about a job that she thought would match up with my previous role.  She was with me every step of the way always willing to advise me and she was a great liaison between the company and myself.  With Joanne's help I secured a job in an industry which will only expand in the future.  I’d like to thank Joanne and the Demob Job team for helping me on my journey to a new career.” – now a Field Service Engineer in the North East

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. Overall, my experience with Demob Job was smooth and pleasant, and I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything!" – Former Royal Navy Leading Engineering Technician (LET), now a Mechanical Project Engineer.

Stephen (ex Royal Air Force Avionics Technician)

‘Jack was a fantastic support going through the application process for the job. I had applied for another position through Demob Job but Jack identified a further role that he believed was a better fit. When it came to interview time his support increased dramatically, always keeping in touch with the employer and myself continuously updating us on the next stage. After the interview Jack’s hard work continued by communicating with both parties making sure each was happy. Jack put in maximum effort during the entire process, and after I had been successful his follow-up care was second to none.  Not only a total professional but an absolute top guy’. Steve now works as a Maintenance Engineer in Scotland.

After receiving a Demob Job Vacancy Alert that ticked all my boxes, I contacted Adrian for further details.  One-week later I was sat in front of his client and was duly successful in being offered the role.  Adrian immediately made me feel at ease, ensuring that the process was comfortable, yet structured, with all necessary support and advice along the way.  Three weeks from my initial contact with Adrian I start my new role and I'm over the moon!  I cannot recommend Adrian and his team highly enough, many thanks indeed!  Now a Field Based Training Executive in Gloucestershire
