Starting my career running voluntary web projects for the Millennium Volunteers, I have also freelanced as a Front End Developer for larger agencies and software houses, and worked full time for Oxfordshire County Council as an ICT Technician and Website Manager. In 2010 I started a PGCE in ICT with the intention of becoming a teacher but quickly realised trying to freelance and teach was not a viable option. Unprepared to give up my web design work, I now operate Jo Cox Design full time, working with a wide variety of clients from start ups and individuals to schools, colleges and established firms.
MTTM
I co-founded an online music magazine, MTTM, in February 2010. We presently employ six sub editors and around forty contributors on a voluntary basis. You can find MTTM at www.morethanthemusic.co.uk and my photography portfolio at www.jocoxphotography.co.uk.
Voluntary work
From September 2011 I will be a Volunteer Business Adviser for Young Enterprise, mentoring a group of Sixth Form students as they start their own business. I also work with local charities through the ROBIN scheme to provide free advice and services.
