I believe the answer is:

disposed

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

'having a mind to get rid of' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'having a mind to get rid of' is the wordplay.
'having a mind' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'get rid of' becomes 'dispose' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd' after 'dispose' is 'DISPOSED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disposed that I've seen before include "Got rid of" , "Placed suitably or in order" , "Ready or inclined to do something" , "Inclined, willing" , "of a mind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
