How do I prop-up or fix a concrete post that has moved away from house with gate attached?

Question

I have a two-gate wide opening on the side of my house.

There is a concrete gate post that is next to the house which has pulled away from the house near the top, so that the gates are harder to open.

What is the best way to "shift" the concrete post back towards the house so that the gates swing freely?

I would remove material from the side closest to the house, then use a jack to push the post back upright.

Once upright, you will need to fill in the subsequent gap on the gate side. Concrete would be good, and consider opening the hole to increase the support all around that gate post.
