It is over a quarter of a century since his father, Gwynoro Jones, the former Welsh Labour MP and SDP politician, fought the Carmarthenshire elections against Gwynfor Evans, then Plaid leader.

He was Plaid Cymru's candidate for the Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney constituency for the National Assembly for Wales general election in May 2007, coming fourth. Jones has been employed at an international examinations board based in London for over six years. As Head of Qualifications and Standards he works at the interface between education policy and legislative frameworks, with responsibility for the organisation's standing with government education authorities in the UK and overseas. Much of his time is spent reviewing policy and articulating the strategic position of the company at negotiations. Previous employment at his father's Schools Inspection Agency based in Llandarcy, which reports on behalf of Estyn, gave him significant insights into quality issues concerning schools and the curriculum in Wales. He also has extensive lecturing and teaching experience, having worked prior to 2000 in a range of education settings. His passionate interests include current affairs, world history and sport. He is also an accomplished jazz musician, having performed professionally during his mid- twenties.
