A new job daughter secured (8)
I believe the answer is:
anchored
'secured' is the definition.
(anchoring is a kind of securing)
'a new job daughter' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'job' becomes 'chore' (synonyms).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'a'+'n'+'chore'+'d'='ANCHORED'
(Other definitions for anchored that I've seen before include "Fixed firmly and securely" , "firmly secured in position" , "unable to move" , "Of ship, moored to the sea-bottom" , "unlikely to drift" .)
