Tidy hospital attendant (7)

I believe the answer is:

orderly

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tidy' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'hospital attendant' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for orderly that I've seen before include "Well-behaved; hospital worker" , "Regular - neat" , "Junior Army rank" , "Methodical; hospital worker" , "Systematically, not haphazard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Irish Independent and The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
