Finding a work replacement

darklight2

Hi there,
I'm thinking of leaving my current full time job and going back to my old place who have offered me a part time position.  In the current climate would it be difficult to find a replacement as I'm concerned about leaving my current employer in a difficult position. They're accountants and the lockdown has affect this profession (in terms of workload) heavily.  How difficult is it nowadays to find a replacement?   The new person would have to work remotely and be trained remotely too.  I'm working in accountancy so there is plenty of demand in this area.   
Thanks

Dont make a rod for your back, this isnt a you problem, it's a them problem. So let them sort it out.

We've had two colleagues join us during lockdown and although it's not ideal it can be made to work. Two more likely to joins us soon. 

One other thing to remember (apart from it not being your problem) is that there are LOTS of people looking for work right now ...

If the reason for the move is to work part time, ask your current employer if they'll let you do that. If not, decide what's best for you and then act accordingly. Misplaced sentiment is never an aid to good career planning.

Just offer to work your full notice, (they will cope.)
I was only saying to family the very best thing about homeworking, is it now going to give overlooked people who may have been physically unable to get into an Employers building in the past, a level playing field.
A company recently who required credit control, had good customer reviews, sound business and advertising as paying a max scale of £1,500 per month though immediate start had an expired job in like 2 days. (kind of gutted, have to keep telling one self well it was an immediate start!)

How does this relate to OP's question?

The other thing to consider is that an ex is an ex for a reason.

went back to a former employer once....lasted a year before I quit.
