I would need your help with this assignment, do you mind staying back for an hour?

Can I use "for" instead of "with"?
 
No, it would not be correct with "for". Also, you should delete "would" and make it two sentences, thus: "I need your help with this assignment. Do you mind staying back for an hour?".
 
Perhaps:

Do you mind working late for an hour?
 
Or:

Would you mind working late? Maybe for about an hour?
 
No, it would not be correct with "for". Also, you should delete "would" and make it two sentences, thus: "I need your help with this assignment. Do you mind staying back for an hour?".

I would need your help for this assignment

Why 'for' is not correct?
 
I need somebody to help me with (something) my homework.
Can you get help for me(somebody) to do my homework.
 
Can you get help for me(somebody) to do my homework.
It sounds like asking someone to do the homework on the speaker's behalf.

Why [STRIKE]'for'[/STRIKE] is "for" not correct?
Please note how to ask the question.
 
Suniljian, delete "would" from your sentence, and say:

I need your help with this assignment.
