First, never use a static field for that, even if marked with a ThreadStaticAttribute. The job could be executed on a different thread (for example, Task-based jobs), and you’ll get an empty result.

For achieving your goal, just add PerformContext to your job method:

public void SendEmail(string name, PerformContext context)
{
   string jobId = context.BackgroundJob.Id;
}

And pass null for it when enqueuing a job:

BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => SendEmail(name, null));

It will be substituted with a correct context when the job is actually performed.
