Bring up new employment? About right (5)
I believe the answer is:
nurse
'bring up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'new employment? about right' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'employment?' becomes 'use' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employment'**).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'use' placed around 'r' is 'urse'.
'n'+'urse'='NURSE'
(Other definitions for nurse that I've seen before include "Nightingale" , "Sister, e.g." , "Look after: entertain" , "Qualified carer" , "Nourish" .)
