I believe the answer is:

bend

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

'take a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'turn finishing the job at last' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'end' (ending is a kind of turning**).
'finishing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'at last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'job' is 'b'.
'end' put after 'b' is 'BEND'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bend that I've seen before include "Dish of raw vegetables" , "Repair" , "Turn, flex" , "Lean forward" , "Arc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
