What the Food Service Worker (10 family covers
Food Service Worker (10 is a rank rather than a single job. New Jersey applies it across 1 specialization, which together account for 2 title codes. The family straddles jurisdictions: 1 local and 1 both state and local, so parts of it are hired by state departments and parts by local civil service employers.
Institutional food service keeps the state hospitals, correctional facilities, developmental centers and veterans homes fed, and it runs on a small ladder from worker to cook to supervisor. Nutrition titles sit alongside it but belong to public health: they run the WIC program and dietary planning rather than the kitchen. Because the work follows the institution rather than the office, these titles carry unusual work weeks and shift patterns, and several exist in both twelve-month and ten-month variants.
What each title does
Each title in the family carries its own published definition. These are the opening lines of each one, which is usually where the difference between two neighboring rungs is actually stated.

What it takes to qualify
None of the specifications in this family names a degree requirement, which places these titles among the New Jersey positions open to applicants without formal higher education. On how the jobs are filled: 1 is competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional examination and 1 is non-competitive, appointed on proof of the stated qualifications rather than by examination.
How the pay is set
No state salary schedule applies here, because these are local titles. Pay is set by each adopting county, municipality or authority under its own ordinance or negotiated agreement, so two employers using the same title code can pay very differently. How local civil service pay works.
Where these jobs exist
Because the family mixes jurisdictions, the answer to "who hires this" depends on the specific code. State codes run through the Civil Service Commission's announcement and eligible list process; local codes are hired by the counties, municipalities and authorities that adopted civil service under Title 11A. Check an employer's status before assuming a title is available where you live.
