Prior to his election, Councillor Perfect was Chair of Governors of Balfour Junior School from March 2020 until July 2023, and the youngest chair of governors in the history of the English school system on appointment. He was also previously the Chair of the Medway Youth Council and has served on several other boards in Medway. He has lived in Medway his entire lifetime, was educated at The Robert Napier School in Gillingham and holds a first-class degree in politics from the University of Westminster.
