Labour Planning & T&A Compliance Manager | £45,000 | Site-Based with Travel

Based at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge | Regular Travel to Other Sites Required

Salary

£45,000 per annum

Are you an organised and analytical workforce planning professional looking for your next challenge? Do you have experience managing labour schedules, time and attendance processes, and workforce compliance in a fast-paced operational environment?

We're looking for a Labour Planning & T&A Compliance Manager to join our Healthcare business. This is a pivotal role responsible for ensuring labour is planned efficiently, budgets are managed effectively, and time and attendance processes are completed accurately to support operational excellence across multiple sites.

The Role

Working closely with operational managers, finance teams, HR, and labour optimisation colleagues, you'll play a key role in delivering effective workforce planning and labour compliance. While primarily based at Addenbrooke's Hospital, you will also be expected to travel to other sites to provide support, guidance, and oversight as required.

Key Responsibilities Include

  • Creating and maintaining workforce rotas up to four weeks in advance.
  • Ensuring labour schedules meet operational requirements while remaining within agreed budgets.
  • Monitoring labour costs, overtime, agency usage, and workforce efficiency.
  • Managing and reconciling time and attendance records to ensure payroll accuracy.
  • Overseeing holiday planning and workforce coverage across departments.
  • Producing workforce, labour, and compliance reports for operational and finance teams.
  • Supporting managers with workforce management systems and best-practice processes.
  • Ensuring compliance with working time regulations, payroll procedures, and company policies.
  • Coordinating and resolving pay-related queries in a timely and professional manner.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve productivity, compliance, and labour performance.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
