When looking at the job market in Brentwood, we see noteworthy trends in both the demand for nursing services and career growth. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the nursing workforce in California is projected to grow by over 9% over the next five years, and here in Brentwood, we can expect a similar need for new nurses, estimated at about 135 new positions. With an existing nursing workforce of approximately 1,400, the healthcare landscape is well-supported by major providers such as Sutter Health and Kaiser Permanente nearby, both of which offer diverse opportunities for nurses. The demand for travel nursing is influenced by our region’s proximity to major cities like Oakland and Sacramento, where opportunities may be more abundant, yet Brentwood remains a hidden gem within the healthcare network. On the other hand, per diem nursing jobs also thrive here, estimated at about 200 positions, providing flexibility and enhancing the local culture of care-oriented healthcare.

Brentwood’s healthcare infrastructure is driven by a mixture of hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialty facilities that cater to a variety of patient needs, which contributes to a stable job market for nursing specialties including pediatrics, geriatrics, and critical care. With ongoing developments in healthcare facilities and significant investments trends towards expanding community health initiatives, our town is poised for growth—reflecting an increasing population of approximately 65,000 that has seen a healthy growth rate. As part of a community that is deeply invested in public health, we have programs in place addressing chronic disease management and preventive care, enhancing our nursing workforce's role.
