'required' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'job vacant no stamp' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'vacant no stamp' becomes 'free' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'post'+'free'='POST-FREE'
