He was commissioned an officer in the Grenadier Guards. After resigning from the regular army, he was appointed major in the 4th (Militia) Battalion, the Lincolnshire Regiment on 17 November 1897.[1] After his elder brother Lord William resigned from his command of the battalion, Lord John was on 25 October 1902 appointed in command and promoted lieutenant-colonel.[2]

Joicey-Cecil was elected to the House of Commons for Stamford in 1906, a seat he held until January 1910 general election. In April 1910, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Lincolnshire.[3]

Joicey-Cecil married Isabella Maud Joicey in 1896 and assumed the additional surname of Joicey. He died in June 1942, aged 75.
