I believe the answer is:

shamateur

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'truly a professional' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'colleague in a rush getting organised?' is the wordplay.
'colleague' becomes 'mate' (mate can mean a colleague or friend).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'getting organised?' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'rush'='arush'
'arush' anagrammed gives 'shaur'.
'mate' put inside 'shaur' is 'SHAMATEUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for shamateur that I've seen is " player who cheats".)
