Jade then became a poetry editor at Ambit while working at The Poetry Society, and has judged numerous competitions including the Costa Book Awards and the Ginkgo Prize with co-judge Simon Armitage, the biggest ecopoetry competition in the world. Jade continues to lead workshops, tutor students at The Poetry School, perform widely at literature and music festivals, and complete various commissions and writer-in-residencies.
