WordPress get_query_var() with offset? - wordpress

Question

I am currently using get_query_var() to displays all post in the index.php page, and I wonder if it's possible to skip the latest post ( I am already displaying it on the home page...) using any offset parameter ?
<div class="wrapper section-inner">
<div class="content full-width">
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<div class="posts">
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$total_post_count = wp_count_posts();
$published_post_count = $total_post_count->publish;
$total_pages = ceil( $published_post_count / $posts_per_page );
if ( "1" < $paged ) : ?>
<div class="page-title">
<h4><?php printf( __('Page %s of %s', 'hemingway'), $paged, $wp_query->max_num_pages ); ?></h4>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
</div> <!-- /post -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div> <!-- /posts -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
<div class="post-nav archive-nav">
<?php echo get_next_posts_link( __('« Older<span> posts</span>', 'hemingway')); ?>
<?php echo get_previous_posts_link( __('Newer<span> posts</span> »', 'hemingway')); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div> <!-- /post-nav archive-nav -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div> <!-- /content -->
</div> <!-- /wrapper -->
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions

One way is to skip the first index:
<?php
$i = 0;
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if($i > 0):
?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
</div> <!-- /post -->
<?php
endif;
i++;
endwhile;
?>
