Sculptor needing staff at home (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodin
'sculptor' is the definition.
(Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor)
'staff at home' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'rod' (both can mean a stick or cane).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'rod'+'in'='RODIN'
'needing' is the link.
(Other definitions for rodin that I've seen before include "Famous sculptor" , "Auguste -, French sculptor" , "Sculptor of OThe KissO" , "French sculptor of The Kiss, d. 1917" , "Fr. sculptor (The Kiss)" .)
