Supported Housing Workers are also on site on a daily basis.  They have their own office within the building and are there to offer support, advice and guidance on any day-to-day issues of concern that tenants may have.

The workers will also liaise with other agencies and workers concerned with the general welfare of tenants.

The project is jointly managed by Catholic Care, who employ the workers and who manage the service offered to the tenants, and by Accent Group, who own the building.

There is also a multi-disciplinary advisory committee, which includes two tenants. They meet on a regular basis and offer advice and guidance on all policy matters.

Tenants will be of adult age with a history of serious mental health problems.

As the flats offer only single accommodation, tenants need to live alone.

The project does not offer 24-hour staff cover and for this reason, is not able to accommodate people with serious behavioural problems, this includes substance abuse.

We do not offer Health Care, general Social Care, Personal Care or Specialist Counselling

Applications are invited from all sections of the community, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, and political or religious beliefs.

Bank House forms part of a range of provision within Bradford, for people with mental health problems and works in a complementary fashion with existing services. 

Accordingly, all referrals will be channelled throughout existing Social Services and Health referral and assessment procedures.

Mental Health Key Workers can make general enquiries about the appropriateness and availability of tenancies directly to Bank House or Catholic Care. Please ask for a copy of our Service Statement.

Completed assessments and referrals should be processed through Social Services Senior Care Managers, who will then forward them to Kelvin Lawton, Link Senior Manager for   referrals for the project who is based at Daisy Bank. Decisions on allocation are made by a multi-disciplinary Lettings Panel which meets when needed.
