A contractor where I work did this. I don't think he really intended it, he left the company and was going to take time off and then look for contract roles, came in for a visit and was offered a contract job. The company were looking for a contractor for a specific job anyway and someone who knows the system is obviously an advantage, and no agency fees to pay.
He's not even trying to avoid IR35, in fact he's a sole trader.....
Alarm bells ringing yet? I reckon because he's a sole trader and because of his previous employment he'd almost certainly be seen as an employee for all those pesky employment rights. He'd probably even get redundancy based on the time he originally started. Clearly my client aren't that clued up on using contractors.
I would think most employers would see that as a risk even if you were a Ltd.
