I work for a Newcastle company - currently hiring developers - who would be more than happy to give you a chance. Our engineering team has people with science backgrounds, engineering backgrounds and people who worked their way in from product support.
I strongly believe that if you are smart, driven and nice then your background and history is of little relevance w.r.t. whether you can succeed here.
Can't promise we'll give you a job, but I can promise we'll take any application seriously and give proper feedback if we don't make an offer.
