Healthcare & Care Services Workforce Management

• Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements including safe staffing levels and working time regulations
• Managing complex pay rules including unsocial hours, bank holidays, and enhanced rates
• Tracking mandatory training, certifications, and professional registrations alongside scheduling
• Managing bank and agency staff alongside permanent employees to fill shift gaps
