You will need a National Insurance number and you will need to go into your local Job centre Plus office.
They will then give you the relevant telephone number to ring and an appointment will be made which you will need to attend with all the relevant documentation.
When you go for the appointment be prepared for lots of questions.

You need to apply at your local job centre (use 2nd link to find out where that is) or telephone 0845 600 0643 between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday
You use a NI not a SSN in the UK.
A National Insurance (NI) number is a personal number used:
to record a person's NI contributions and credited contributions
because it is needed when claiming social security benefits.
A NI number should only be given to one person and must only be used by that person.
Applying for a National Insurance number
There is a process of checks we need to go through when you apply for an NI number. Firstly, we make sure you need an NI number. Secondly, we make sure you haven’t already got an NI number. If you need an NI number and you haven’t already got one, we will write and ask you to come to an interview.
We use this interview to check your identity and, where applicable, your right to work – to make sure you are who you say you are, that you are entitled to work in the UK (where applicable) and to protect your NI and social security accounts.
Here are some examples of the types of evidence and information we need. We cannot accept photocopies.
General documents:
Passport
National Identity card
Birth certificate
Marriage or civil partnership certificate.
Full driving licence
Home Office documents
2 or more passports if you are of dual- or multi-nationality
Student-loan documents
Student identity card
Letter from your college, including course details
Mortgage or rental agreement
Residence or naturalisation documents
Adoption certificate
Employment documents:
Payslips
A work permit
A letter from your employer
Your contract of employment
Details of any employment agencies you are registered with.
Evidence that you are actively looking for work
Certificate of incorporation
Memorandum of association
Articles of association
Services contract
Documents if you’re self-employed:
Invoices
Letters from your accountant
Letters from your clients
A form or letter from HMRC about your self employment, for example a bill for your Class 2 National Insurance contributions.
Stock transfer form
If you have recently arrived in Britain after living outside Europe, you must bring any travel documents you have. These are documents that give information about your travel between countries. They include things like your passport, National Identity card or NASS 35 form (issued to people seeking asylum in the UK).

If you have just became a British citizen it should have been given to you when you filled out all the paper work and were given your national health card number for your doctor.?
