I believe the answer is:

opposer

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

'one who's against' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'work with model' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'model' becomes 'poser' (synonyms).
'op'+'poser'='OPPOSER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for opposer that I've seen before include "Adversary" , "One who takes on" , "One offering resistance" , "The one against the motion" , "Contender" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
