Deputy doctor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locum

'deputy doctor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for locum that I've seen before include "Medical temp?" , "Stand-in professional" , "Stand-in, for a doctor say" , "may step into someone else's job" , "He fills in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
