Yes as long as you have the required daily rest period between shifts.

A new period of 24 hours starts when you’ve completed the daily rest period.

For instance if you start at 04:30 Monday and finish at 15:30, you could start Tuesday at 00:30 if you had a reduced weekly rest period on Monday, or 02:30 if you had a regular daily rest period on Monday.

The example I’ve given where you work between 00:00 and 04:00 would make you a night time worker, but you probably already know that.
