Conjurers (which become White Mages) are the basic straightforward healers. Arcanists start out as DPS, but you can specialize at 30 into Scholars which are healers. Scholars are a pet class which has a fairy that helps heal.
So at end game, White Mages and Scholars are the healers. Note that you can level and switch classes on the same character, so you can always change your class later. If you want to heal the early dungeons, I would recommend starting off as a Conjurer.
In order to become a white mage, you have to level a conjurer to 30 and then you must level an arcanist to 15 to get the WHM. After that, you just equip the WHM stone in your inventory and you level both WHM and Conjurer side by side.
Let me rephrase my last sentence there too. Your white mage will always be the same level as your conjurer whether or not you equip the stone while you level.
