Am I entitled to bank holiday if I don't work mondays?

Yes, you are entitled to bank holiday pay, but it's usually given as a pro-rata amount of your total holiday allowance, not as a specific day off, because you don't work Mondays; the law requires you aren't treated less favourably, so you get your fair share of paid holiday days, which you can use any time, ensuring you don't miss out on the equivalent time off as full-timers.
