Due to a staff shortage, I've had to take back my previous responsibilities on top of my current job.
Because we're short-handed, I'm now taking on my old role alongside my current one.
「人手不足」は英語で staff shortage や short-handed と表現します。
「今の仕事を継続しつつ、前の仕事も兼務する」という状況は、on top of my current job(今の仕事に加えて)や alongside my current one(今の仕事と並行して)、また「戻ってきた/引き受ける」という意味で take back や take on を使うと自然に伝わります。
