We're Hiring: BCBA & RBT Positions Open

MCARDD is growing, and we need compassionate, driven people to join our team on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Part-Time BCBA

Perfect for new BCBAs or those with 1-3 years of experience who want mentorship, flexibility, and meaningful work. You'll conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, train staff, and manage 15-20 clients across various ages and functioning levels. Work alongside an experienced full-time BCBA, BCABA, and skilled RBTs who'll help you build your clinical confidence.

What you get: pay depending on experience, dental and vision insurance, paid time off, professional development assistance, and a flexible schedule that respects your life outside of work. BCBA certification required (or willing to obtain Mississippi licensure—we'll support you through the process).

Experienced RBT (Multiple Positions)

We need Registered Behavior Technicians who understand that this work is about showing up for kids and families, not just logging hours. You'll provide one-on-one ABA therapy under BCBA supervision, collect data, complete session notes, and work collaboratively with our team in a clinic or school setting.

What you need: Must be 18+, valid driver's license, reliable transportation, RBT certification preferred (or willingness to obtain), and experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum. Compassion, patience, and the ability to handle challenging behaviors required.

What you get: Competitive pay, ongoing training and professional development, and the chance to work for a nonprofit that accepts all forms of Medicaid because we believe every family deserves quality care.

Why MCARDD?

We're 10 minutes from the beautiful Biloxi Beach in D'Iberville. We're mission-driven, community-supported, and we actually mean it when we say we care about our team. You'll work with families who genuinely need you, in an environment where your growth matters.
