Who are Demob Job?

Candidate Testimonials

Roger (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

After being made redundant from my previous employer due to being furloughed for over 3 months, I was contacted by Joanne Foster at Demob Job, and was quickly offered the chance of an interview.  Within 48 hours of being contacted, I attended an interview and I was offered employment.  I was really impressed with the help and information that was available to me.  Joanne even followed up after my employment was finalised and made sure I was ready to start my new job the following week.  I would highly recommend Demob Job to anyone leaving their military career.  Roger is now employed as a Service Repair Technician in Warwickshire.

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.

Craig (ex Royal Navy Logistics Specialist)

I left the Royal Navy in July 20 having served just under 7 years as a Supply Chain Logistics Specialist. DEMOB JOB approached me on the 24th July to discuss a vacancy they had available. After a few telephone conversations with DEMOB JOB regarding the position and a little bit of information about the company I was successful in being put forward for an interview with the company the following week. The next day I was again contacted by DEMOB JOB to inform me I had been successful in the interview and the company was offering me the position available. I accepted the offer and was given a start date. I would have no hesitation in recommending DEMOB JOB to any ex military personnel or current serving members who are in the process of leaving HM Armed Forces and seeking employment in civvie street.  Craig is now employed as a Defence Operations Coordinator in Tyne & Wear.

Glyn (ex Royal Air Force Aircraft Technician)

Demob Job were very helpful with finding me a new job. Emma was with me every step of the way and ensured I was ready for every step of the application process. I would highly recommend using Demob Job and I have already recommended their services to several of my ex-military friends. Glyn is now employed as an Engineer Surveyor.

From Royal Navy Petty Officer to Project Engineer: A Smooth Transition into Civilian Employment

“My experience with Demob Job started with Adrian, the company's MD, contacting me on LinkedIn. After sending my CV I was quickly contacted by Joanne with a suggested role I could be well suited for. Joanne explained the role and informed me of the company and what they do. After expressing my interest, I was invited for an interview the following week and offered the job the week after. Overall, it was a smooth and rapid process. I received regular contact from Joanne by email to complete all the relevant paperwork and documentation, and also by phone with sound advice, words of wisdom, encouragement and reassurance. Joanne made the transition from military to civilian employment easy with no fuss or stress. I will be recommending Demob Job to my former military friends and colleagues.”  Dean was a Petty Officer Marine Engineering Technician in the Royal Navy and is now employed as a Project Engineer.

Raymond (ex-Royal Navy Aircraft Technician)

I found Joanne and Demob Job very helpful and friendly.  It felt as if Joanne was actively helping me secure a job whereas with some agencies I feel as if they are not too bothered either way.  Demob Job seem like a very organised agency and Joanne kept me informed right the way throughout the process. Thanks once again and I appreciate all your help! Mechanical Shift Maintenance Engineer, Lancashire

Over 19 Years in the Royal Navy to Project Manager: Marc’s Career Change with Demob Job

"Absolutely fantastic service from Demob Job, and in particular Joanne, who handled my application.  The service was very professional and concise. I had regular updates during the process, and Joanne was very understanding when I wasn’t feeling well and had to reschedule my interview.  Joanne got a new interview organised on the same day, and even after getting accepted for the job, Joanne has stayed in touch to make sure my start goes smoothly.  I would thoroughly recommend Demob Job for all ex-forces personnel looking for a new job."  Marc served for over 19 years in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer and Weapons Engineer.  He is now employed as a Project Manager.
