Look after church director (5)
I believe the answer is:
chair
'director' is the definition.
(I know that chair is a type of director)
'look after church' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'air' (something might have a certain air or look).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'air' after 'ch' is 'CHAIR'.
(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "Single seat" , "control meeting" , "What professor has" , "Professorship" , "Windsor, for example" .)
