Is back in the draught and gets the job (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

position

'the job' is the definition.
(position is a kind of job)

'is back in the draught' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'draught' becomes 'potion' (I've seen this before).
'is' backwards is 'si'.
'si' going into 'potion' is 'POSITION'.

'and gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for position that I've seen before include "Place - standing" , "Set in place" , "case" , "status" , "Place or perspective" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
