I am hugely unhappy at my current position. The reasons vary from poor training to favoritism and my lead openly flirting with my coworker. I have decided it is time to part ways with my employer. I am also concerned the next person hired could run into the same issues so my question is how and if to address this with HR, the manager or senior manager involved?

Yes I would let them know.

Laying the groundwork for the next hire is 100% NOT your problem. Give notice and get out of there.

Any information you share about your experience could potentially help improve the work environment. This could impact the experience current and future employees have. If you have the opportunity to participate in an exit interview that would be a good place to provide feedback.

If you're worried for the next person then set up an exit interview with HR and invite management as optional.
Your concern for the next person in the role must rule your actions so keep it extremely professional, based on your experience only and present it in an organized fashion with as much detail about the environments impact on the performance of the job.
Be aware that what you say and how you present it will dictate whether burn your bridge and scorch the earth in terms of references, industry gossip and reputation.

Have you reported the current issues to anyone yet? If not, I would see if any action would be taken to correct the issues before you leave. If they do not, walk away... they're not interested in what you have to say.

An update here. I gave my notice at my current company and have been looking for a good fit to match the value of my skills. I haven't found a lot I like yet but I have several months to do so.
