75+ Healthcare Support Jobs in San Jose, CA

The best hard local pay anchor is the BLS healthcare support occupational family, not the full support-plus-administration category: mean pay was $46,620 a year in San Jose, with the 25th percentile and median at $37,640, the 75th percentile at $49,810, and the 90th percentile at $70,340. Recent local hourly postings across this broader mixed category center on about $25 to $31 / hour, with a broader 25th-75th band of about $23 to $35 / hour. California new-opening data shows a much higher mean offered salary of ~$82,507 for this mixed category, but that figure is a statewide sample-weighted mean on new openings rather than a local posted median.

What our analysts see this month

Balanced market | next 3-6 months

This is a workable market, but not an easy one. San Jose's education and health services workforce reached 227.8 thousand in August 2026, up 6.1510% year over year, while metro unemployment was 4.3%, which says the local healthcare operating environment is expanding. At the same time, Healthcare Support & Healthcare Administration employment in California was essentially flat year over year and active postings were down 3.6%, so openings exist but employers can be more selective than the local sector-growth story alone suggests.

Best positioned: Candidates who can work on-site and combine CPR or medical assistant certification with patient care, documentation, and vital-signs skills have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not run a remote-first job search here: about 95% of local roles are on-site, about 5% are hybrid, and about 0% are remote.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is concentrated in patient-facing healthcare settings, not generic office employers. In the local posting mix, hospitals and health care account for about 55% of openings and another healthcare bucket accounts for about 25%, with smaller shares in health care services & hospitals and medical practices. The employer mix is fragmented rather than dominated by one system, but the most consistently active names include Stanford Health Care, El Camino Health, Silicon Valley Medical Development LLC, Nurse Next Door, Fresenius Medical Care AG, and Carbon Health. The most interesting local wedge right now is outpatient and public-clinic capacity. The new Valley Health Center San José-Campbell opened on September 28 with more than 200 exam rooms and a wide set of service lines, and its urgent care hours run until 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on weekends. That makes San Jose a better market for candidates who can cover intake, rooming, scheduling, follow-up, and shift-based support than for people looking only for standard weekday desk jobs. Remote-first job seekers have a narrower lane. Local roles are about 95% on-site and only about 5% hybrid, while the seniority mix is heavily entry and mid-level rather than senior-management heavy.

• Hospital systems and affiliated medical groups (high): This is the biggest opportunity pool, with hospitals and health care representing about 55% of the local mix and active employers including Stanford Health Care, El Camino Health, and Silicon Valley Medical Development LLC.
• Outpatient, urgent care, and public-clinic operations (high): The new Valley Health Center San José-Campbell and employers such as Carbon Health point to strong need for patient access, room turnover, scheduling, and extended-hours support.
• Home, community, and specialty support (moderate): Nurse Next Door and Fresenius Medical Care AG show there is also demand outside hospital campuses, especially for community-based and specialty-care support workflows.
• Remote back-office administration (limited): This is the weakest segment because the local mix is about 95% on-site, about 5% hybrid, and about 0% remote.

Where to focus: Focus first on on-site outpatient and hospital-affiliated roles where patient care, documentation, intake, and EMR workflow overlap.

Roles worth searching next

• Revenue cycle specialist: It uses the same documentation, insurance, and patient-account workflow experience that many healthcare admin candidates already build.
• Operations coordinator or office manager: Scheduling, documentation, escalation handling, and front-desk workflow transfer well into broader office operations.
• Customer support or implementation specialist at a health-tech company: Hands-on EMR, intake, and patient-workflow knowledge can be valuable in software support and onboarding roles.
• Quality or compliance coordinator: Documentation discipline, infection-control awareness, and process consistency all transfer well.

What postings ask for

• CPR certification (table_stakes | immediate): It is the most common named credential in local postings, appearing in about 15% of them, so it helps clear initial screens for patient-facing roles. Who: Entry-level candidates, career switchers, and anyone targeting medical assistant or patient-care-support work.
• Medical assistant certification (differentiator | immediate): It appears in about 10% of local postings, and 89% of surveyed employers said they would choose a certified candidate over a non-certified candidate when other factors are equal. Who: Entry-level applicants and career switchers who need a fast credibility signal.
• Patient care and patient interaction (table_stakes | immediate): Patient care shows up in about 30% of local postings, and employers still report gaps in patient interaction skills among allied-health workers. Who: Anyone targeting medical assistant, patient care tech, aide, or intake-heavy roles.
• Medical terminology and documentation (table_stakes | immediate): Medical terminology appears in about 20% of local postings and documentation in about 15%, making them core to both front-office and exam-room workflows. Who: Entry-level and mid-career candidates who want to move between support and administration tracks.
• Vital signs monitoring and infection control (differentiator | immediate): Vital signs monitoring appears in about 20% of local postings and infection control in about 15%, which is a practical separator for clinic-ready applicants. Who: Medical assistant, patient care tech, and urgent-care applicants.
• Phlebotomy and specimen collection (differentiator | near-term): Both skills appear in about 15% of local postings, so they are a real edge for candidates who want wider rooming and support duties. Who: People aiming for outpatient clinics, urgent care, and broad-scope support roles.

Questions about this market

What do Healthcare Support & Healthcare Administration roles pay in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA?

The best hard local pay anchor is the BLS healthcare support occupational family, not the full support-plus-administration category: mean pay was $46,620 a year in San Jose, with the 25th percentile and median at $37,640, the 75th percentile at $49,810, and the 90th percentile at $70,340. Recent local hourly postings across this broader mixed category center on about $25 to $31 / hour, with a broader 25th-75th band of about $23 to $35 / hour. California new-opening data shows a much higher mean offered salary of ~$82,507 for this mixed category, but that figure is a statewide sample-weighted mean on new openings rather than a local posted median. San Jose pays above national healthcare-support norms—the national mean for the same BLS occupational family was $40,800—but these roles still sit far below the metro's all-occupation average wage of $57.32 per hour, so many job seekers will still feel cost pressure locally.
