Judge sports referee should get a change of scene (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jump

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

'a change of scene' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'judge sports referee' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'j'.
'sports referee' becomes 'ump' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'j'+'ump'='JUMP'

'should get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jump that I've seen before include "Suddenly rise" , "Leap (high, long or triple)" , "Make abrupt movement - start" , "Leap, bound" , "Hurdle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
