= Solution

Taking the symmetric part gives
$$
\boxed{S_{ij}=\frac12(T_{ij}+T_{ji}).}
$$
Contracting the antisymmetric part with the <Levi-Civita symbol> gives
$$
\boxed{V_k=\frac12\varepsilon_{kij}T_{ij}.}
$$
Indeed, $\frac12\varepsilon_{ijk}\varepsilon_{k\ell m}T_{\ell m}=\frac12(T_{ij}-T_{ji})$, so $S_{ij}+\varepsilon_{ijk}V_k=T_{ij}$.
