Speechcraft

True to its name, the Healer's main calling is to preserve their life and ensure their survivability. Focus on leveling Restoration skills up to gain access to more healing and curing spells. Next, is to prioritize Illusion for its various skills to disrupt enemies and crowd control.

The Healer also favors the Personality attribute, so that means you should level up both Speechcraft and Mercantile skills to easily persuade characters and to also get a better deal on shops respectively.

Lastly, while Healers don't have the highest damage when casting spells, leveling up Destruction is still important just so you have offensive spell options in battle.

Best Weapon Types for Healer

Primary Staff
Alternative Blade
Dagger

Since the healer is mainly a magic user, the staff is the best weapon to equip for its ranged playstyle. You can also opt for a nice dagger, in case the spells do not work effectively against your enemies.
