A job given to the French disciple (7)
I believe the answer is:
apostle
'disciple' is the definition.
(the apostles were disciples of Jesus)
'a job given to the french' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'a'+'post'+'le'='APOSTLE'
(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "Evangelist, proponent" , "Preacher of the gospel" , "James, perhaps" , "eg John, Paul" , "Thaddeus, perhaps" .)
