Crossword Genius

Worker given cards worrying many (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handyman

'worker' is the definition.
(handyman is a kind of worker)

'cards worrying many' is the wordplay.
'cards' becomes 'hand' (I've seen this in other clues).
'worrying' is an anagram indicator.
'many' anagrammed gives 'yman'.
'hand'+'yman'='HANDYMAN'

'given' is the link.

(Other definitions for handyman that I've seen before include "Odd-jobs person" , "Repairer" , "One hired to do odd jobs" , "Jack-of-all-trades" , "One employed to do odd jobs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
