I'm pretty much in the same boat as the OP so Id like some insight into the same paths. I'm starting to show interest in the HV side of things. Not sure if it's the route I'd like to actually take but I'm very interested in it.

Some good information about the courses they offer.

Does anyone have information about the benefits of going down this route? What sort of roles are available? Working in distribution? DNO?

Not just DNOs many factories, the armed forces, facility companies employ APs both HV and LV imo LV /AP duties are just as challenging as HV even more so sometimes

I would avoid the Develop courses if you can it next to useless. They carry out training (Derby and Swindon) without ever seeing any switch gear (they do have switch gear at York). The training at E-ON are just up the road from Leicester at the power station are very good.

Scottish Power at Hoylake (Wirral) have a good training center for HV switching.
