Social worker, inviting new outrage, one lacking in generosity (11)

I believe the answer is:

benevolence

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

'generosity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'social worker inviting new outrage one lacking' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is found in the answer.
'social' could be 'bee' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bee' is located in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for benevolence that I've seen before include "Disposition to do good" , "Kindliness" , "Goodwill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
