Care Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a care manager in California?
Most care manager roles in California require either an active California Registered Nurse license issued by the California Board of Registered Nursing or a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential from the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Employers typically look for a bachelor's degree in nursing or social work plus clinical experience. Earning a Certified Case Manager credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification strengthens your application significantly.
Which companies hire care managers in California?
Employers hiring care managers in California right now include Providence, Sunrise Senior Living, and Kaiser Permanente, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. California's large integrated health systems and managed care plans drive consistent demand, particularly for care managers who can work across Medi-Cal and commercial insurance populations.
Which California cities have the most care manager jobs?
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego have the most care manager openings in California. Los Angeles and San Francisco lead because of their density of major health plans, academic medical centers, and community health organizations, while San Diego's strong military healthcare presence and growing biotech sector add further demand in that region.
Are there remote care manager jobs in California?
Yes, though they are selective. About 48% of care manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting that some telephonic and utilization review functions can be performed off-site. Roles focused on in-person home visits, hospital transitions, or direct patient assessments remain predominantly on-site.
How can I get hired as a care manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying as a care coordinator or case coordinator at a California Medi-Cal managed care plan or large integrated system such as Kaiser Permanente or Dignity Health, which regularly post roles designed for clinicians newer to case management. Moving laterally from a utilization review, discharge planning, or home health role is also common. Obtaining your California RN or LCSW licensure and completing a case management fundamentals course before applying gives you a measurable edge.
