I managed to get it to work using this bit of code. Not sure if a cron job would be a much better solution though?

		<?php 
			/*
				Check if the job listing has closed (manually or automatically based on date). If so, add text to end of the title and change the label status.
			*/
			
			// Setup checks for todays date and datepicker date in backend.					
			$today = date( 'Ymd' );
			$expire = get_field( 'job_listing_closing_date', false, false );
			
			// Change Job Status field in backend to Closed if date has passed.
			$status = get_field( 'job_listing_job_status' );
			if ( $expire < $today ) :
				$status = 'Closed';
				update_field( 'job_listing_job_status', $status );
			endif;
		?>
