'job' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bishop dressed as judge found on line' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bishop' could be 'b' (chess abbreviation) and 'b' is found in the answer.
'line' could be 'ry' (abbreviation for railway) and 'ry' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'robe' 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).

Can you help me to learn more?
