Role man has created as a social worker (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almoner

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

'social worker' is the definition.
(almoner is a kind of social worker)

'role man has created as a' is the wordplay.
'role man' can be anagrammed to 'ALMONER'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for almoner that I've seen before include "Medical social worker in earlier times" , "Hospital social worker" , "Official giving out aid" , "Charity worker" , "Man role (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
