Job avoided by single English worker with dependents (5)
I believe the answer is:
carer
'worker with dependents' is the definition.
(a carer has people who depend on them)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for carer that I've seen before include "One attending invalid" , "Raising of a siege; financial assistance" , "One with responsibility for dependent person" , "Invalid's attendant" , "One looking after an incapacitated person" .)
