Background jobs from ssh

I have a start.sh on Linux that starts a bunch of jobs in background
mode:

#!/bin/sh
# script: start.sh
job1 &
job2 &

I'm able run start.sh using plink (Putty's Windows ssh client):

C:\>plink user@hostname -pw password "/home/user/start.sh"

However, my plink command won't return util the background jobs have
finished. I don't want my
ssh client to have to wait. Is there any way around this?

.
