Unless things have changed you'll only need do the CPL. ATPL(H) comes with flying hours & a cheque. IR not a problem as a company that needs it will usually put you through it. You'll probably find it best to do a residential course for the Navs & Techs. I did mine at Cabair, but I believe Oxford are better. Unless he hopes to instruct on R-22s I'd personally advise you also include a Type Rating on something like the 206. Turbine time & types help.
The suggestion of Bristows & Scotia is a sound one....they need Pilots.
Anyway...best of luck & never mind about the planks, we all have a cross to bear etc.
