What the Community Employment Service Worker family covers

Community Employment Service Worker is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.

Case-carrying titles are the largest civilian block in New Jersey government outside clerical work. They run through the Department of Children and Families, Human Services, county welfare and social services boards, and the guardianship and child support programs. The families are usually built as clean numbered ladders because caseload complexity is what separates one rung from the next, not a change of profession. A social work degree is common at the professional levels, though many of the specialist and technician titles admit experience instead.
