You're curious about how the whole café works, not just your own role within it.\nLeads Responsibly\nPeople can rely on you. You notice what needs doing, take ownership and stay calm when things get busy.\nMakes Connections\nYou bring people together. You communicate well with your team, make guests feel welcome and understand that a brilliant shift comes from everyone working together.\nWhat's in it for you?\nThis could be the beginning of something much bigger.\nWe'll help you learn how to lead a shift, coach others, make decisions and understand more about how a successful café operates.\nAnd if leadership is where you want to go, there's a clear path ahead.\nCafé Shift Leader → Assistant Manager → General Manager.\nYou'll get plenty of support and development along the way, as well as a great package of Boston benefits and the advantage of daytime hospitality without the late-night finishes.\nOr perhaps you love being part of café life and simply want a little more responsibility without becoming a manager.\nThat's absolutely fine too.\nThere's more than one way to grow at Boston.\nGood Eggs Only\nWe've been doing things a little differently since 1995.\nWe care about great coffee, great food and brilliant hospitality - but it's our people who bring all of that to life.\nWe're looking for people who notice when a teammate needs help, remember a regular's order and aren't afraid to roll their sleeves up when things get busy.\nYou don't need a big job title to be a leader.\nSometimes leadership starts with simply being the person others know they can rely on.\nThink you're ready? Come and take the lead with us.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3534,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-14T07:53:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.83,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:6","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T14:08:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T14:08:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14837,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2872682},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2872682"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/boston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-cafe-shift-leader"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4306371}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bostonteaparty.co.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4306371},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
