Attendant turned over south-east attraction in places (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stewardess

'attendant' is the definition.
(stewardess is a kind of attendant)

'turned over south-east attraction in places' is the wordplay.
'turned over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'south east' becomes 'se'.
'attraction' becomes 'draw' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'places' becomes 'sets' ('set' can be a synonym of 'place').
'se'+'draw'='sedraw'
'sedraw' placed into 'sets' is 'ssedrawets'.
'ssedrawets' back-to-front is 'STEWARDESS'.

(Other definitions for stewardess that I've seen before include "working woman" , "Aircraft attendant" , "Female flight attendant" .)
