Nutters arranged to get put in charge (7)
I believe the answer is:
entrust
'put in charge' is the definition.
(entrusting someone means putting them in charge)
'nutters arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nutters' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRUST'.
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for entrust that I've seen before include "Give for safekeeping" , "Assign (a responsibility to someone)" , "Consign" , "Invest, commit" , "Place in the care or protection of someone" .)
