About Us

Founded in 2022, Circle Paints is Australia's first and only charity dedicated to saving paint from landfill. We have a retail shopfront in St Peters and an online store.

Our mission is to reduce waste and carbon emissions while providing our customers with affordable, high-quality paint.

Our shop is a busy community hub, with a team of wonderful volunteers, mural artists dropping in to buy paint, neighbours stopping by to stock up on paint and drop off donations, and other members of Sydney's reuse community visiting to chat about collaborations.

Job Overview In this role you will be responsible for the smooth running of day-to-day retail operations. You'll greet and supervise new volunteers, provide customer service in person and online, operate POS software, manage stock levels and waste disposal, oversee quality assurance for incoming paint,



and complete regular clerical tasks.
