When destroying a workstation and placing it back down (e.g. brewing stand) the Villager already with that profession (e.g. cleric) remains a cleric, but when the brewing stand is placed back down a new cleric is created, rather than assigning the workstation to the Villager with their missing workstation.

I think you're saying that you have a Cleric you've traded with, so it will remain a Cleric (with it's trades) when you destroy his job site block (brewing stand), but destroying and placing his block somewhere else gets assigned to a different villager rather than reattaching to the Cleric you want it to.
I think you just need to place more brewing stands until you notice one that isn't getting assigned to new villagers, have you tried that? Then when you've identified the one that's attached to that Cleric, you can destroy the other brewing stands to free up the other villagers.
