Crossword Genius

Neat hospital worker (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orderly

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'neat' is the first definition.
(I know that neat can be written as orderly)

'hospital worker' is the second definition.
(non-medical worker in a hospital)

(Other definitions for orderly that I've seen before include "in a mess? No" , "Regular - neat" , "Hospital attendant; well behaved" , "Hospital or military attendant" , "Neat, tidy; soldier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
