As far as i am aware you really don't need any formal quals for aircaraft handling just good commonsense. Computer skils and maths are a big advantage if you are going to do despatch.

Liquid - have a look at :
http://www.dispatcher.org/

It's a US site, but is the 'bible' for dispatching. Note though that 'dispatch' in the US is the same as 'Ops' in the UK. UK dispatchers are the guys n gals that control the a/c turnrounds.

Hope this makes sense ?!

Pay will be totally dependant on experience, in your case I would have thought you'd be looking around £12K-£14K ish depending again on where you end up.

As Keyboard says - formal quals in UK aren't pre-requisite, but any aviation related stuff will be a real plus ( eg PPL / C&G etc. ) In the US you must have a formal FAA license for dispatching - which is expensive.
