In Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 55:3, the Rama states that if there was a minyan for the beginning of Shmoneh Esrei and some left, the chazzan can say up to (and including) Kaddish Shalem (after Uva Letziyon). This is because the whole thing is connected to Shmoneh Esrei.
On days that have a full minyan with no one leaving in the middle, I have sometimes seen the chazzan sit down after Torah reading and someone else take his place.
Is this allowed l'chatchila? As i mentioned above, it seems that this whole section, from Shmoneh Esrei through Kaddish is connected. Therefore, it seems that the chazzan shouldn't stop in the middle.
