Crossword Genius

Given a job in the Yorkshire Dales (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hired

'given a job' is the definition.

'in the yorkshire dales' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HIRED' is hidden within 'yorkshire dales'.

(Other definitions for hired that I've seen before include "Chartered" , "Engaged for wages" , "Employed for wages" , "Paid to work" , "Taken into service" .)
