Go for the job and, as you suggested, offer to help out in the interim. This
has the benefit of helping the company out (obviously been a good company or
you wouldn't offer) plus, if they turn the offer down, there should be no need
to feel guilty at leaving.
One thing I would say (not knowing the company) is to specify a period during
which you'll help out (a month or whatever) - this will encourage them to
recruit and not put it off until you've had enough!
