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

Rob (ex Royal Navy Weapons Engineer)

Excellent recruitment company, love to focus on ex military and as we all know, leaving the Armed Forces is a big step, always stay in contact with you and keep you updated with your process. This was the very first job I applied for, and I was successful, and in the field I wanted, my consultant was Emma Saxton. 10 out of 10 for the effort she put in, no complaints. Rob is now employed as a Field Service Engineer in the Gloucestershire area.

Karl (ex Royal Navy Marine Engineer Submariner)

‘After 23 years in the armed forces you learn to do a lot of things, unfortunately, none of them is how to be a civvy and look for a job. I began looking for work in the field of engineering and a friend of mine recommended Demob Job, I’m glad that I did. Joanne was very quick to respond to my internet inquiry and keen to give as much information as possible on the job in hand.  When accepted for an interview Joanne made sure I was as prepared as possible with notes from other applicants and any information she thought was useful.  When she was away, she made sure another member of the team was briefed on my situation so they would be able to help.  Throughout the whole process, you could really tell Joanne was working hard on your behalf.  I secured employment and began my new career two weeks ago and I’m very grateful to Joanne and the Demob team for their efforts.’  Karl is now employed in the heavy industrial engineering sector.

Andrew (ex Aviation Engineer in the Royal Air Force)

“I contacted Demob Job after seeing a job advert on LinkedIn. Joanne Foster was extremely responsive and arranged a telephone call to discuss the job and check my suitability for the role, an important step in preventing both me and the employer from wasting time. Joanne spent time compiling an accurate and suitable application with me and presented it to the employer on my behalf. Interviews were arranged, taking into consideration my current employment, and regular updates were provided.  This all resulted in a job offer.  A huge thanks to Joanne at Demob job, you’re a huge asset to the service leaver community.”  Andrew is now employed as a  Senior Aviation Engineer in Hertfordshire.

Amanda (ex RAF Intelligence Analyst)

Huge thank you to Adrian at Demob Job for his help and support successfully finding a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a week of speaking to Adrian, I had had a successful interview for a job that excited me and started work 2 weeks after that. Adrian kept in touch throughout the whole process and unlike some other agencies, seemed to really care about finding me the right role.  Now an Instructor in Wiltshire

Fleet Air Arm to Project Engineer: recruitment support from start to finish

"After serving in the Royal Navy for over 18 years, I was approaching my leaving date and growing nervous about finding a job I truly wanted in time. A few days after uploading my CV to several sites, Joanne Foster from Demob Job reached out, and I instantly felt at ease. She guided me through what the job entailed and kept in touch throughout the entire interview process. I’ve now accepted the role, and I can’t thank Joanne enough for everything she has done. I highly recommend her and Demob Job to any service leaver." – Former Fleet Air Arm member, now a Project Engineer.

Gemma (ex Royal Armoured Corps and Royal Corps of Signals)

Leaving the British Army during a pandemic was something I never expected to happen. I was quite concerned with the employment opportunities, however I managed to find a job I was interested in and applied to Joanne at Demob Job.  Joanne rang me the very next day to set up an interview.  The communication was second to none through the whole process, and Joanne was brilliant. Joanne gave me some brilliant advice to prep for my interview and even followed up on the day.  I am proud to say the interview was successful and I was offered the job which would start only two weeks later. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joanne for making my transition into civilian life seamless.  Gemma is now employed as a Telecommunications Apprentice Trainer in Wiltshire.
