I believe the answer is:

stewards

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supervisors' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'trieste ward sensibly embraces' is the wordplay.
'embraces' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'embracing' mean this (the solution is embraced by words in the clue)).
'STEWARDS' is hidden within 'trieste ward sensibly'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stewards that I've seen before include "Persons employed to manage estates" , "They look after passengers on aircraft and ships" , "They look after passengers on aircraft or ship" , "Officials at events" , "Attendants, on aircraft say" .)
