Prior to his career in local government, Jason spent 6 years as a Teaching Fellow in the History of Political Thought at the Royal Holloway University in London, and also worked as a Senior Researcher for the Fabian Society.

In his five-year spell as Leader of the Council, Jason has overseen major investments in better facilities for residents.
