Car will not start until I jump start

So I got this one more problem with my diesel engine Nissan micra, I had some head wrok done on engine few weeks ago, it is summer time and car won't start if it remains parked for a day and night, it cranks and cranks and won't start until my dad comes and I pick up jumper cables and jump start the car, after I jump start the car and drive it for some distance it runs and starts normally for the rest of the day, when I park it for night and won't drive it next day, it's not gonna start the day afterwards until I jump start. What could be the problem, my mechanic is saying it is low on compression, will the car with low on compression start with jumper?
