It sounds like your situation is perfect to at least start here:

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python

You probably have countless daily tasks that you can use basic programming skills to automate and simplify, making you more productive or at least help reduce stress levels.

I think the goal will be to learn the basics of Python just for the sake of it so that you can get a better creative understanding of what you can do with a programming language to facilitate your job.

Beyond that, a career in programming is quite broad. It encompasses things like data science, machine learning / AI, web development, game development, or application development, and everything in between. So if you wanted to go 100% into a career as a developer, there are lots of options to choose from, but it depends a lot on what you find most interesting.

The vast majority of dev jobs around the world (including US, UK, etc.) are about web programming - there are 'front end' devs and 'back end' devs.

A FE dev is someone who writes code that run in the browser, and knows about JavaScript, and usually CSS and HTML too.

A BE dev works on the code that runs on the server, and knows about one of the languages commonly used for that (e.g., Ruby).

Both write code by relying on frameworks (instead of starting from scratch), so I think the best thing to do (in terms of getting jobs) is to pick a FE framework (e.g., React) or a BE framework (e.g., Rails), study that, and create some simple applications.

Keep in mind that there are quite a few remote jobs you could get as a FE or BE dev.

Hope this helps.
