One attempting to save another in need of help (7)

I believe the answer is:

rescuer

(Other definitions for rescuer that I've seen before include "One who saves from a dangerous situation" , "Deliverer (from danger)" , "One who delivers" , "Saviour" , "one retrieves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
