One might show pride in their work? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zookeeper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pride in their work?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'one might show' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'show' could be 'er' (US medical drama) and 'er' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zookeeper that I've seen before include "park attendant?" , "Lions manager perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
