What the Nutrition Program Coordinator family covers
In New Jersey's classification plan, Nutrition Program Coordinator stands alone. The family holds one title code rather than a graded series. Every title in it is a local title, used by the counties, municipalities, authorities and boards that have adopted civil service under Title 11A rather than by state departments.
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

What it takes to qualify
Across the 1 title we have parsed, the education requirements read as a bachelor's degree on 1 of them. Experience requirements sit at 3 years wherever they are stated.
On how the jobs are filled: 1 is competitive, filled from an eligible list after an open competitive or promotional 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
Nothing in this family is hired by a state department. These are local codes, which means the employer is a county, municipality, authority, library, fire district or school district that chose to come under Title 11A. Roughly a quarter of New Jersey's municipalities did. In the rest, the same job exists but the hiring is done outside the civil service system entirely, so the title code will never appear in a posting. Check a specific employer before you plan around one of these titles, or read how local civil service works.
