I believe the answer is:

toilet

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

'facilities' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'worked endlessly needing time' is the wordplay.
'worked' becomes 'toiled' (toiling is a kind of working).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'needing time' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'toiled' with its last letter taken off is 'toile'.
'toile'+'t'='TOILET'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toilet that I've seen before include "Smallest room" , "WC" , "Lavatory paper" , "something to go on?" , "It means washing" .)
