A job with the French supporters (8)
I believe the answer is:
apostles
'supporters' is the definition.
(apostle is a kind of supporter)
'a job with the french' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'les' (les is the in french).
'a'+'post'+'les'='APOSTLES'
(Other definitions for apostles that I've seen before include "Evangelists" , "They were sent by Christ to teach the Gospel" , "Christ sent twelve of them to preach the gospel" , "Group of 12" , "Jesus's disciples" .)
