Learner doctor does one's unfinished jobs (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loose ends

'unfinished jobs' is the definition.
(loose ends are things still to be sorted)

'learner doctor does one's' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'does'+'ones'='doesones'
'doesones' anagrammed gives 'ooseends'.
'l'+'ooseends'='LOOSE ENDS'

(Other definitions for loose ends that I've seen before include "items to be settled" , "details yet to be explained" , "Unfinished business" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
