Find a role for a Pole? (5)

I believe the answer is:

learn

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

'find' is the definition.
(I know that find is a more specific form of the action learn)

'a role for a pole?' is the wordplay.
'a role for' becomes 'lear' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a pole?' becomes 'n' (abbreviation for North, as in North Pole).
'lear'+'n'='LEARN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for learn that I've seen before include "Gain knowledge or skill" , "Comprehend" , "Take in" , "Discover - study" , "Master" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
