It looks to me like this job is in breach of the regulations.

Restrictions on night work
As a night worker, you should not work more than an average of eight hours in each 24-hour period. This excludes overtime. You cannot opt out of this night working limit.
If your night work involves special hazards or heavy physical or mental strain, you can't be made to work more than eight hours in any 24-hour period.
This is an absolute limit rather than an average limit and includes daytime overtime. With absolute limits you cannot work over eight hours in any 24-hour period. Average limits allow you to average the hours you work over a set period. For example, one night you work nine hours, the next night you work seven, averaging out at eight hours.
