Talk to any origin character (Lohse, Ifan, Beast, Fane, Sebille, etc) and ask them to join you. You'll be able to customize their class during that dialogue.

When you invite an origin character to join you, when they ask you what you want them to be, select a magic user, and then something with hydrosophist, like a cleric. Alternatively start putting points into Hydrosophist on one of the characters that you have with you, and pick up some healing skills.

Don’t necessarily think you need to leave them as their preferred class, there isn’t really anything wrong with having them switch as their stats change to match their chosen class. Also it might be worth explaining that you don’t need a dedicated healer either. Hydrosophist has the most heals and magic armor restoration, but Geomancers do physical armor restoration and armor restoration is significantly more useful than healing. You generally want everyone to have some sort of armor restore for themselves. Wand and shield does this great for mages.

The traditional tank/healer/dps group build doesn’t work quite as well as you’d hope, you’re actually better off having mages with shields and everyone built for damage while having some support abilities. That generally works better.
