'a job to be done' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'make a mistake and' is the wordplay.

'err'+'and'='ERRAND'

'here's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for errand that I've seen before include "In purposeful trip" , "Delivery/collection trip" , "Commission, task" , "Short assignment" , "Native of a former German kingdom" .)

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