Surgeon (RN) abroad worked for homely philanthropist (6,8)

I believe the answer is:

doctor barnardo

'homely philanthropist' is the definition.
(philanthropist who set up several children's homes)

'surgeon rn abroad worked' is the wordplay.
'surgeon' becomes 'doctor' (surgeon is a type of doctor).
'worked' indicates an anagram.
'rn'+'abroad'='rnabroad'
'rnabroad' with letters rearranged gives 'barnardo'.
'doctor'+'barnardo'='DOCTOR BARNARDO'

'for' is the link.
