No tram arranged for senior nurse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matron

'senior nurse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no tram arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'no'+'tram'='notram'
'notram' anagrammed gives 'MATRON'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for matron that I've seen before include "Old woman" , "Chief nurse" , "Former title of today's Senior Nursing Officer" , "Senior nurse" , "Head of nursing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
