"Do you think 'random jitter' might have an affect something like dithering?"The two elements are totally unrelated....
Dither is a process where noise is applied prior to A/D conversion and/or wordlength reduction to mitigate losses in resolution. Jitter is variation of sample timing during playback.
Since the words themselves "sound" similar, I've encountered comments where one term was used but the other was meant. I wouldn't be surprised if I did this personally.
Follow Ups:
I have been known to dither and get the jitters from time-to-time myself!

Instead of "affect", I should have used "effect".
"Do you think 'random jitter' might have an (audible) effect something like dithering?"Regards
"Do you think 'random jitter' might have an (audible) effect something like dithering?"Unlikely. Dither done well is almost inaudible, aside from the low-level information in the signal being easier to discern. But jitter shouldn't have an effect on this.
