Top Companies Hiring for Healthcare Jobs in New York (Oct 2026)

You're job hunting in healthcare in New York and you want to know who is actually posting roles, not who has a careers page full of promises. Here's the raw picture from the JobRise live jobs feed, dated 14 October 2026: 11 open healthcare jobs in New York listings, 4 posted in the last 30 days, and 3 in the last 7 days.

That's a thin market. If you're waiting for volume to save you, you'll be waiting a long time, so you need to work these 11 listings like they're the only ones. They basically are.

The companies, ranked by open listings#

Counts below are open listings on JobRise on 14 October 2026, not a market survey. Some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms, and I've flagged where the job titles tell you something useful.

• Professional Physical Therapy: 5 open listings. Titles include "Physical Therapy Aide - Rye Brook", "Physical Therapy Aide - Pleasantville", and "Physical Therapy Aide - Hartsdale". That's a cluster of aide roles across Westchester towns, which reads like one hiring push, not five separate chances.
• Fifth Element: 1 listing, "Medical Strategy Director- MedComms". Senior and specialized.
• Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New York: 1 listing, "ESOL-Workforce Development Instructor- CNA - 2003418". A teaching role tied to CNA training.
• The Valere Group: 1 listing, "Part-time General Dentist".
• Pinterest: 1 listing, "Lead Client Partner, Pharma". Pharma-adjacent, not clinical.
• Costello Medical: 1 listing, "Senior Health Economist". Health economics and market access territory.
• YELM US Associates, LLC: 1 listing.

My read: Professional Physical Therapy is the volume play here, five listings is over 45% of this slice. Everyone else is a single shot, so treat each application like a targeted strike rather than a spray.

How New York compares with the country#

New York has 1165 open listings across all categories on this snapshot, and 11 of those are healthcare. Nationally, there are 2216 healthcare listings across the US, so New York's 11 is a sliver of the national healthcare pool.

That gap is the story. You can check how hiring is trending across the country in the JobRise Hiring Report: the US, which gives you the broader read on where postings are moving. My blunt take: if you're set on staying in New York, you're fishing in a small pond right now, and that changes how hard you push each application.

Targeting each employer type#

One employer here runs multiple clinical locations. That's Professional Physical Therapy, with aide roles in Rye Brook, Pleasantville, and Hartsdale. Apply to each location separately, because hiring managers at site level often run their own shortlists, and mention the specific town in your first line.

Staffing and recruiting names in a listings feed mean you're likely being placed at a client site. Ask early what the client site is, what the contract length looks like, and whether the role converts to permanent. Get that in writing or at least in an email.

Mission-driven and religious nonprofits like Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of New York hire for program roles as much as clinical ones. Read the program name in the posting. In this case it's ESOL and workforce development tied to CNA training, so your teaching and coordination experience matters more than your clinical license.

Pharma-adjacent corporate roles, like the Pinterest "Lead Client Partner, Pharma" and Costello Medical's "Senior Health Economist", want commercial or outcomes evidence. Don't send a clinical resume. Send a resume with client revenue, payer work, publications, or HEOR projects up top.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Cold outreach works when it's short and specific. Here are two scripts I'd actually send.

Referral ask to a friend already inside:

"Hey Maria, quick one. I'm applying for the Physical Therapy Aide role in Pleasantville with Professional Physical Therapy. Do you know anyone on the clinical or site team there who'd be open to a 10-minute chat? I'll send my resume so you can forward it if that's easier. Either way, thanks."

Cold message to a hiring manager or recruiter, on LinkedIn or email:

"Hi Jordan, I applied for the Part-time General Dentist role at The Valere Group and wanted to introduce myself directly. I've done 6 years of general dentistry in multi-chair practices and I'm comfortable with a part-time schedule. Happy to share references and availability this week. Thanks for your time."

Two rules. Name the exact job title. Ask for something small, a chat or a forward, not "any opportunities".

Your 7-step plan#

This is the order I'd run it in.

• List all 11 open roles in a spreadsheet with company, title, location, date posted, and where you applied. Dead simple, and it stops you applying twice.
• Apply to the 5 Professional Physical Therapy aide listings first, each one separately, tailoring the first line to the town.
• Run each company through the free company insights tool before you hit send, so you walk in knowing their size and what they do.
• Send the referral message to 2 people per target company within 24 hours of applying. Warm intros beat cold applications every time.
• Rewrite your resume summary for each employer type: clinical for the therapy roles, program-focused for the nonprofit, commercial for the pharma roles.
• Follow up 5 business days after applying with a 3-line note. Then follow up once more 7 days later and stop.
• Track response rate weekly. If 11 applications get zero replies in 3 weeks, fix the resume before you blame the market.

Do the resume fix earlier if you can. A resume that lists duties gets binned; a resume with numbers and outcomes gets read.

One resume bullet, rewritten#

Here's the kind of change that actually moves a needle.

Before: "Responsible for assisting physical therapists with patient care and exercises."

After: "Assisted 12 to 15 patients daily with prescribed exercise programs across a 3-therapist clinic, documented progress in EMR, and cut average setup time between sessions by 10 minutes."

Same job. The second one gives a manager something to picture. Numbers like patient volume and time saved are the kind of detail a hiring manager can verify with one question in an interview.
