Women at work who’ll tell you where to go! (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usherettes

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

'women' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'at work who'll tell you where to go' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'at' could be 'her' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'her' is found within the answer.
'work' could be 'use' (I've seen this before) and 'use' is present in the leftover letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for usherettes that I've seen before include "female escorts" , "Guides" .)
