He gives assistance in need for a sculptor (6,6)

'he' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'assistance in need for a sculptor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'assistance' could be 'relief' (relief is a kind of assistance) and 'relief' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'worker' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'gives' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
