Helpers turned aside (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aides

'helpers' is the definition.
(aide is a kind of helper)

'turned aside' is the wordplay.
'turned' is an anagram indicator.
'aside' anagrammed gives 'AIDES'.

(Other definitions for aides that I've seen before include "Adjutants" , "Right-hand men" , "Military assistants to a senior officers" , "Helpful officers" , "Helpers" .)
