150+ Healthcare Support Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Observed local wage anchors are modest for support work: the broader healthcare support family had a $38,800 median annual wage, a $45,330 mean wage, and a $65,160 90th-percentile wage in 2025, while BLS separately reported $21.79 per hour as the mean for healthcare support occupations in the metro. Directional posting data is higher, with hourly listings centering on about $26 to $31 / hour and a broader band of about $23 to $37 / hour, but that sample mixes support and administrative roles and should not be treated as a market-wide average.

What our analysts see this month

Balanced market | next 3-6 months

This is a balanced market, not a bad one. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont education and health services employment rose 2.7784% year-over-year to 440.2 thousand in August 2026, and we observed more than 300 local postings across more than 100 companies over the last 90 days. But California-wide employment in this combined occupation group was essentially flat year-over-year in September 2026 and statewide postings were down 3.6%, so openings exist without making hiring easy. Frontline support roles look sturdier than pure back-office administration.

Best positioned: Your best odds are as an on-site medical assistant, patient-care, or patient-access candidate with CPR/BLS, phlebotomy, clinical documentation, and shift flexibility, because about 80% of sampled roles are entry level and about 95% are on-site.

Main caution: The biggest trap is treating this as one pay band: medical and health services managers averaged $176,000 in May 2025, but the broader healthcare support family had a $38,800 median annual wage and most sampled openings skew entry level.

Where the demand is

Opportunity is concentrated in hospital and clinic settings, not evenly spread across all healthcare employers. In the local posting sample, hospitals and health care account for about 55% of roles, healthcare for about 25%, and health care services & hospitals for about 10%, with more than 300 postings across more than 100 companies over the last 90 days. That matters because the market is fragmented rather than dominated by one employer, even though UCSF Health and Sutter Health are the most visible large names, each with more than 30 postings, followed by UCSF Health, AG at around 15 and Marin General Hospital at around 10. The mix also skews heavily entry level and on-site, which favors medical assistant, patient care, and patient access applicants more than people holding out for hybrid administrative roles. Pure administration is the weaker pocket. Kaiser Permanente's late-September layoff announcement was concentrated in business and administrative roles, and broader healthcare admin work is being redesigned around exception handling, quality, and governance as AI takes over more repetitive workflow steps.

• Hospital and outpatient support roles (high): Best concentration of patient-facing openings; local skill demand centers on patient care, phlebotomy, medical terminology, vital signs monitoring, and infection control.
• Patient access and front-end clinic operations (moderate): A solid bridge area for organized, customer-facing candidates; the local market still skews on-site and entry level, and employers commonly ask for high school or certificate-level preparation plus CPR/BLS familiarity.
• Pure back-office administration (limited): Still viable, but more selective because statewide category postings were down 3.6% year-over-year and local public layoff news centered on administrative positions.

Where to focus: Prioritize hospital- and clinic-based roles at UCSF Health, Sutter Health, and Marin General Hospital, especially where patient care, phlebotomy, or patient-access skills are explicit in the posting.

Roles worth searching next

• Licensed vocational nurse (LVN): A strong next step for direct-care support workers who want a licensed bedside path instead of the lower ceiling common in support roles.
• Phlebotomist: Local employers already emphasize phlebotomy, so this is one of the cleanest specializations to build from medical assistant or patient-care work.
• Radiologic technologist: Regional workforce planning specifically named imaging as a possible priority area, which makes it a credible higher-barrier pivot from support work.
• Care coordination / social services assistant: Regional workforce planning also named social work as a possible priority area, giving patient-navigation candidates another lane to watch.
• Healthcare operations analyst: A stronger fit for admin-track candidates as healthcare administration shifts toward data, workflow redesign, and AI governance rather than pure transaction processing.

What postings ask for

• CPR / BLS (table_stakes | immediate): It shows up among the most common required certifications in local postings, including American Heart Association CPR and BLS Healthcare Provider variants. Who: Entry-level support candidates, MAs, patient care techs, and anyone trying to move from general admin into patient-facing care.
• Medical assistant certification (differentiator | immediate): It appears among the most common local credential asks and helps signal hands-on readiness, which employers still value alongside formal credentials. Who: Entry-level applicants, career switchers, and uncertified MAs who are losing out to more job-ready candidates.
• Phlebotomy (differentiator | immediate): Phlebotomy is one of the most-requested hard skills locally, making it a clean way to stand out in MA and patient-care roles. Who: Medical assistants, patient care techs, and support workers who want a faster route to stronger outpatient roles.
• Clinical documentation and medical terminology (table_stakes | immediate): Both appear frequently in local postings, and documentation work is being reshaped—not eliminated—by AI tools that still require humans to manage accuracy and context. Who: Support workers who chart, room patients, handle referrals, or touch intake, records, or EHR workflows.
• Infection control, vital signs, and injections (differentiator | near-term): These are recurring skill asks in the local sample and map directly to the expanded responsibilities employers report for medical assistants. Who: Patient-facing support candidates who want to move past basic rooming or clerical work.
• Communication and patient interaction (table_stakes | immediate): Employers report gaps in communication, patient interaction, and time management, so this is a real hiring filter rather than resume filler. Who: Everyone, but especially career switchers and technically qualified applicants who are not yet landing interviews.
