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

'retail assistant' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'unusually posh gear brought back by large' is the wordplay.
'unusually' is an anagram indicator.
'gear' becomes 'rig' (rig is a kind of gear).
'brought back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'rig' backwards is 'gir'.
'posh' with letters rearranged gives 'shop'.
'shop'+'gir'+'l'='SHOPGIRL'

(Another definition for shopgirl that I've seen is " Retail employee".)
