Case Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a case manager in California?
The path depends on the setting. Clinical case managers typically hold an active California RN license issued by the California Board of Registered Nursing, or an LCSW license from the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, paired with a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Non-clinical roles in social services often require a BSW or MSW. Many California employers also expect or prefer the CCM credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification.
Which companies hire case managers in California?
Employers hiring case managers in California right now include The People Concern, Anchor Health, and Telecare Corporation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's size and its large publicly funded Medi-Cal managed care network mean both major health plans and county agencies post openings regularly throughout the year.
Which California cities have the most case manager jobs?
Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco consistently post the most case manager openings in California. Los Angeles dominates because of its sheer concentration of county agencies, hospital systems, and managed care plans, while San Francisco and San Diego draw significant volume from large regional health networks and VA facilities that operate across those metro areas.
Are there remote case manager jobs in California?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields because many case management roles involve in-person assessments, facility visits, or supervised client contact. About 34% of case manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to cluster in utilization review, telephonic case management, and workers' compensation roles where the work is documentation and coordination rather than direct in-person care.
How can I get hired as a case manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a care coordinator or community health worker role, which large California health systems and county agencies use as a pipeline for case management staff. Los Angeles County, Kaiser Permanente, and Dignity Health all run structured associate or new-graduate programs that combine supervised caseloads with on-the-job training. Completing a NASW-recognized field placement in California, or earning your CCM eligibility hours through a related role like discharge planning or social work assistant, gives you a measurable edge when applying.
Where can I find and apply to case manager jobs in California?
