Turns on the radio leading to theatre jobs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roles

'theatre jobs' is the definition.
(roles in a theatrical production)

'turns on the radio' is the wordplay.
'turns' becomes 'rolls' (roll is a kind of turn).
'on the radio' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rolls' is a homophone of 'ROLES'.

'leading to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for roles that I've seen before include "Parts in plays" , "Theatrical parts" , "Parts in a play" , "Dramatic parts" , "Actors' parts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
