Anxious, moving back home for cushy job (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sinecure

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

'for cushy job' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anxious moving back home' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'secure' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinecure that I've seen before include "Official job with little or no work" , "Paid job with minimal work - insecure (anag)" , "Office that involves minimal duties" , "Post requiring little work" , "position needing little effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
