What is the best abbreviation for supervisor in British English?

Question

What is the best abbreviation for supervisor, if I were to write a letter to one in Britain?

e.g. a supervisor who works in UK Visas and Immigration.

If there is no such abbreviation, would saying something like "Dear Supervisor Blair" instead of "Dear Ms. Blair" sound awkward? It is unclear if the hypothetical supervisor is married or not, but she is a woman in this example.

I am not aware of an honorific abbreviation for 'supervisor'. We don't have them for most job titles.

If you know this person's job title is 'supervisor' then I suggest.

Dear Supervisor

If you know her name and she is definitely a woman then:

Dear Ms. Blair

If you want both then I suggest:

Dear Supervisor, Ms. Blair
