I believe the answer is:

webmaster

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

'site manager' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good-for-nothing given award rejected' is the wordplay.
'good-for-nothing' becomes 'waster' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'given' is an insertion indicator.
'award' becomes 'MBE' (Member of the British Empire).
'rejected' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'mbe' back-to-front is 'ebm'.
'waster' enclosing 'ebm' is 'WEBMASTER'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for webmaster that I've seen before include "who manages online facility" , "site manager" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
