I believe the answer is:

anchored

'unable to move' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'having an uninteresting job daughter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'job' could be 'chore' (synonyms) and 'chore' is found within the answer.
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anchored that I've seen before include "With weight down, stuck in bed" , "Fixed to the spot, like ship" , "Grounded, firmly fixed" , "Fixed in one place" , "secure so?" .)
