BCBA
Discipline: Board Certified Behavior Analyst State: Michigan Roles open: 2–3 roles Timeframe: Urgent — this month Setting: ABA and autism services Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) - Northern Michigan Looking for more than just a job? North Arrow, a growing ABA provider, is looking for BCBAs ready to put down roots, literally and professionally, in one of Michigan's most sought-after outdoor destinations. This organization serves families across Northern Michigan and is proud to be the primary or only ABA provider in several of the communities it covers. That means real impact from day one. Why clinicians are making the move: Own a piece of what you build. As the organization grows, the team shares in that growth through an employee stock ownership structure, so your work here builds equity, not just a paycheck. A caseload that protects your time. Schedules are managed centrally so you're never fielding cancellations or on-call requests. A dedicated team handles the admin so you can focus on clinical work. AI-generated documentation. Fully AI-generated SOAP notes are rolling out this year, cutting one of the biggest time drains in the field. Genuine mentorship. Monthly in-person supervisor meetings with CEUs, regular observation and coaching from your clinical director, and a dedicated first-year cohort program if you're newer to supervision. Two ways to bonus, every month. Most clinicians earn a bonus monthly, some adding over $10,000 a year, plus a separate PTO bonus tied to client outcomes and quality. Assent-based practice, always. The organization follows the child's lead. If that philosophy matters to you, you'll feel right at home. In-person, ramped-up support. New BCBAs build their caseload gradually over their first 90 days, with lead and float technicians and trained apprentices taking work off your plate. The lifestyle: This is the trade-off worth making. Trade the traffic for trailheads, the desk for the outdoors, and a transactional job for a place people genuinely plan to stay. Whether it's hiking, fishing, hunting, or just a slower pace of life, Northern Michigan delivers it year round. Relocation support available. Up to $10,000 in relocation assistance for the right candidate, plus help getting settled. Compensation: Competitive base depending on experience, plus monthly bonus potential, 401(k) with match, health benefits, and PTO. What we're looking for: Clinicians who are curious, adaptable, and genuinely care about the kids and families they serve. Experience is welcome but not required. We invest in people who want to grow with us. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to actually love where you live and work, apply now and we'll tell you more.

BCBA jobs in Michigan: common questions
- Do you need a license to work as a BCBA in Michigan?
- Michigan licenses behavior analysts through LARA. Confirm the current position with the Michigan board before you accept a start date, as processing time is the usual cause of a delayed start.
- What is the average BCBA salary in Michigan?
- There is no federal wage series for BCBAs, because the credential has no separate occupation code, and we do not hold a statistically valid Michigan survey. What we can publish is advertised pay on the BCBA roles we recruit: roughly $75k – $115k across the US, moved by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
- Does BCBA pay in Michigan differ from the rest of the US?
- We publish advertised pay on the roles we recruit, not a Michigan average. Across the US those BCBA roles are advertised at roughly $75k – $115k, and where a Michigan offer lands inside that band is driven by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
- Where are the BCBA jobs in Michigan?
- Steady ABA and community mental health demand with strong Medicaid-funded volume. The live BCBA vacancies we hold in Michigan are listed on this page; when nothing is open there today, the national BCBA board carries every role we currently hold.
- Who employs BCBAs in Michigan?
- The employers hiring this credential are center-based aba clinics, in-home aba, school districts and contracted school services, early intervention programs, telehealth supervision, idd and adult services. Which of those dominates in Michigan follows the local funding and provider mix rather than any national pattern, and it is the single biggest driver of what an offer looks like: the same BCBA is priced differently by a center-based provider, a school district and a hospital system.
- What do employers look for when hiring a BCBA in Michigan?
- First, the credential and the right to practise: bcba certification with bacb, plus state licensure where required. Michigan licenses behavior analysts through LARA. After that, hiring managers screen on the specifics of the work — caseload size you have carried, the settings you have worked in, supervision responsibility, and documentation or payer experience. Availability matters too: a realistic start date that accounts for board processing usually beats a stronger resume that cannot start.
- What does the salary range on this page actually mean?
- Two different things, kept separate on purpose. $75k – $115k is what BCBA roles we recruit are advertised at across the US — a live market signal, not a survey. There is no federal wage series for this credential, so no official Michigan median exists to compare it against. Neither number is an offer; where you land inside a range is set by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
