Jason is a part time lecturer, researcher and PhD student in the faculty of Health and Community Studies at De Montfort University, Leicester.

Jason first came into contact with youth work in his early teens and as a result started a campaign for youth provision in his local area. This resulted in a group of young people managing Gloucester's first youth-led project. "Abbeydale Youth Project" received local and national political and media attention.

He continued to volunteer with the project, before moving into part time and then full time youth work in Gloucester. In 1999, he moved to Leicester and has worked in a variety of youth and community settings, most recently in mental health, community adult education and youth participation. He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Youth and Community Development at De Montfort University in 2002, and continues to work there as a part time lecturer.
