Ne'er-do-wells shouldn't get all the attention. What about:
Someone who is always helpful: an "e'er-do-well" A kindly atheist: a "non-belie'er-do-well"
A most fetching labrador: a "retrie'er-do-well" A protector of broad-tailed semi-aquatic rodents: a "bea'er-do-well" A butcher who expertly wields his heavy broad blade: a "clea'er-do-well" A mechanism's reliable projecting arm: a "le'er-do-well" A 24-hour do-gooder: a "whene'er-do-well" Someone who attempts to do the right thing: a "endea'or-do-well" (Brit. "endea'our-do-well")
